Morgan Rielly Goes Ballistic After Lucas Raymond Runs Anthony Stolarz's Head
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz got drilled by Lucas Raymond, and as you can imagine, defenseman Morgan Rielly was not thrilled.
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing their second-to-last preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings, and the NHL roster is on the ice for this one.
Anthony Stolarz is set to play the entire game, while players like Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies, William Nylander, and John Tavares are on the ice.
Overall, the Leafs are winning this game by a score of 1-0 after two periods, and one of the biggest stories has been Stolarz who has 27 saves.
Lucas Raymond runs over Anthony Stolarz
This is going to be a big season for the netminder, who just signed a new deal and is looking to take this team to the Stanley Cup Finals.
However, opposing players are showing no qualms about potentially taking him out. We saw that tonight as Lucas Raymond of the Red Wings hit Stolarz in the head.
While he turned out to be alright, Morgan Rielly made sure to give Raymond a well-deserved piece of his mind.
At the end of the day, you cannot let your goaltender get run over like that, and no one understands this better than Rielly.
Since that moment, Stolarz has been fine, although his concussion from last season's playoffs should be at the top of everyone's mind.
Hopefully, the Leafs are able to finish off this game with a win and build momentum heading into the regular season.
The first regular-season game will take place on October 8th against the Montreal Canadiens.
