Again, the offense side of things started to come later in the season. He wanted to focus on the defensive side of things and be a better defensive player who is more physical and reliable back there. Maybe we took his instincts away from him a little bit. They started to come back.<\/p>\n<p>Berube also confirmed that Rielly has done a tremendous job this summer of getting into much better shape and working on the offensive aspects of his game once again, which should lead to an increase in his production.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you this: Morgan had a hell of a summer. He looks great. He is in great shape. I don&#8217;t know if it is the best shape he has ever been in, but I think it is pretty close. He took it to heart last year. He wasn&#8217;t happy with his season offensively. He put in some great work this summer. I think we are going to see a different player.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on MapleLeafsDaily<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>11 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0654 ANSWERS<\/p>\n<p>Maple Leafs Coach Craig Berube Shares Exciting News Regarding Morgan Rielly<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Morgan Rielly breaks 60 points again this season?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleleafsdaily.com\/nhl-team\/toronto-maple-leafs\/Javascript:void(save_clic(\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1696.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" alt=\"HockeyRetourVosPOOL Ang\" title=\"HockeyRetourVosPOOL Ang\" loading=\"lazy\" defer=\"defer\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tMAPLELEAFSDAILY.COM<br \/>COPYRIGHT @2025 &#8211; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleleafsdaily.com\/terms\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TERMS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleleafsdaily.com\/politic\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">POLICIES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maple Leafs Coach Craig Berube Shares Exciting News Regarding Morgan Rielly Photo credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Morgan Rielly&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,21687,5239,5240,48555,448,82,746],"class_list":{"0":"post-138377","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-craig-berube","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-leafs-news-and-rumours","13":"tag-morgan-rielly","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-toronto-maple-leafs"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
