After the Toronto Blue Jays advanced to the World Series, Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly admitted that he was a bit jealous of their success.

It's a party in Toronto right now after Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS and are officially in the World Series for the 1st time since 1993.
But for the Toronto Maple Leafs, they are still waiting for their 1st appearance in the SCF since their last win in 1967. Everyone knows that the Leafs have only won 2 postseason series since 2004, which continues to be the butt end of jokes by opposition fans.
Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly, who has been through it all with Toronto since he started playing in 2013, admitted that he feels some envy watching another Toronto sports team advance to its championship series.
There's a small part of you that you're envious of them. You're a bit jealous of what they're doing, just because of Toronto. You watch it firsthand, you're obviously happy for them, it's a great moment for the city, but we want to be able to do that and have a run like that. We felt that when the Raptors did it too. So, you look at the passion they're playing with, and that's contagious. And you want to be able to also bring that when your time comes.

Morgan Rielly Has Been With the Leafs Since 2013

Rielly, who was taken with the 5th overall pick by the Leafs in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, has played his entire career in a Leafs sweater and his 1st introduction to heartbreak was the notorious ECQF in 2013 against the divisional foe Bruins.
Since then, he's been part of the Leafs teams that have won exactly 2 postseason rounds since 2004.
In 873 games, he has 513 points (87G, 426A).
