A Stanley Cup champion and Conn Smythe Trophy winner in an organization populated by very few players with any tangible playoff success on their resumes, Ryan O'Reilly was acquired from the St. Louis Blues prior to the trade deadline by a franchise desperate to flip its post-season narrative on the ice.
Ryan O'Reilly stepped in front of the cameras and microphones to face the music following a disastrous playoff opener.
O'Reilly calmly answered each question with a self-assurance that comes from reaching the NHL summit."We were just dipping our toes in," he said. "That happens." "He's won a Stanley Cup," Acciari, who was also part of the trade with St. Louis, said of that season's playoff MVP.Rielly — not to be confused with O'Reilly — said the 2019 Selke Trophy winner as the league's top defensive forward continually rises to the occasion.
"We got him for these moments," said Keefe, who moved O'Reilly off a line with John Tavares following the Game 1 debacle to form an effective trio with Acciari and Knies.O'Reilly will hope to continue on that path Monday when Toronto looks to take a 3-1 stranglehold on the best-of-seven matchup with Tampa.
