Morgan Rielly is going to be an amazing NHL player someday. Too bad its for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was dominant everytime that he touched the puck last night in the Warriors 2-1 shootout lose to the Hitmen. The one thing that I can not understand for the life of me is the fact that he was getting a normal shift. The coach ran all 6 defenceman almost virtually equally. Now this in no way is a knock towards the other defenceman on the team they all looked like great players. but Rielly was easily in a class of his own. Albeit there could be a reason but a player like that should be out on the ice at least every second shift or when he is not tired. Rookie Brayden Point was also very entertaining to watch for the Warriors and at 16 he already has 15 points in 20 games.

The game started out with a scoreless first period with the Hitmen only getting 2 shots and the Warriors not doing much better with only 6. But then in the second Carter Hansen opened up the scoring which basically was Rielly walking around a bunch of Hitmen players like they were pee wees and then using Hansens stick to deflect the puck into the net. Then what seemed like seconds later Brendan Hurley replied for Calgary roofing it upstairs past Paulic with everyone in the building at first except for Hurley and the ref realizing it was in. Hurley was also solid laying the body and creating chances every shift he had. Along with Macek those were the 2 best looking players for the Hitmen.
