Ryan O’Reilly not only scored the game-tying goal with just a minute left in their Game 3 matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning, he won a crucial faceoff to assist on Morgan Rielly’s game winner. TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins Jermain Franklin to chat about O’Reilly’s performance.

Keep the foot on the neck, DO NOT let them up
They don't ask how pretty the run was they ask who won the cup.
Can go nuts with analyzing but bottom line is that the Rielly winner shot probably shouldn't have gone in 🙂 O'Reilly was amazing in the clutch though 🙂
ROR and Samsonov both were clutch
O'Reilly is a true champion. Very strong veteran on face-off. GO LEAFS GO
GET RID OF THE MUSIC!
ROR does not have the leaf jinx in his veins yet because he is new. ROR is playing like he wants the cup again. Wake up ROR you are a leaf and the leafs are jinxed in the postseason.
THAT'S WHY HE'S THE FACTOR!!!!

O'Reilly is a matchup nightmare still. he is a FO specialist, plays both ends of the ice very well. they didnt even play that well and he still made those key differences
You don't get the nickname THE FACTOR, for no reason
Ryan O Reilly came to play as has Noel Acciar their very first day first game ! Keep Knies with him and he will score his 1st goal and defend better each game
The leafs didn’t play that well but I did see heart And that’s what win cups
I like Frankie as an analyst. Good on him. Great win by the Leafs last night
For us fans too feeling great
Win or lose, need to sign O'Reilly. He is a proven champion.
There was a sequence in OT (I think) where O'Reilly just drove right through the middle 1 v 4 and tried to get his own rebound, at a time when Toronto was badly needing some momentum and on the ropes.
The "big 4" esp Matthews/Tavares/Marner need to show some of that themselves, too many aimless dump ins and just keeping it to the outside were a big part of why the Leafs couldn't get much O zone time.
god i love frankie, killin it
