He is still young and still learning, unfortunately Morgan Rielly learned the hard way today that as a professional hockey player you have to be careful what you say to the media. Especially in a big market like Toronto. Rielly was talking about how it takes hard work and  a positive approach during tough times when he said "You're not here to be a girl about it". Many people were upset with the comments. Rielly later talked to Mark Masters from TSN and said the following “It’s a phrase that has to be taken out of today’s society. I know I can’t be using that with the media. It was just careless by me,” “I didn’t mean it the way it was taken at all and I’m sorry for the way that it came across.” Rielly did the right thing in apologizing and will definitely be more careful what he says in the future.
