Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly was not selected for Team Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off team, and now, he is speaking out about it.
Morgan Rielly is one of the best defensemen in the NHL, however, he was not good enough to make Team Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off roster, which is very stacked.
Rielly was not the only Maple Leafs player to be snubbed by Team Canada as John Tavares was not able to make the team either.
The only Maple Leafs star to make Team Canada was none other than Mitch Marner, who leads Toronto in points this season, with 38.
