Ryan O’Reilly looking comfortable in Toronto Maple Leafs jersey
Ryan O’Reilly passed through the locker room’s sliding doors and was immediately told he would be heading to a different sheet of ice.
Acquired from the St. Louis Blues last week along with fellow veteran forward Noel Acciari, O’Reilly is a Stanley Cup champion and Conn Smythe Trophy winner with a blend of swagger, humour, confidence, post-season pedigree and drive. The 32-year-old from Clinton, Ont., picked up an assist in Saturday’s 5-1 victory over Montreal to wrap up a crazy 24 hours after the trade. He then registered the fourth hat trick of his career to go along with an assist Tuesday in Buffalo on a night where Marner set up five goals in a 6-3 triumph.“The processing ability – his decision making – is next level,” the 2019 Selke Trophy winner as the NHL’s top defensive forward said of skating with Marner.
“Hits hard and seems to be in the right spots,” Matthews said. “Last game you could see when stuff started to slip for us, that line especially went out there and got it back with their physicality and their competitiveness.” “Just kind of take a breath ... take a second to relax,” Acciari said of the brief respite. “Been a bit of a whirlwind.”
