This quote inspired me to give him his thread. Jake's come a long way in two years. I'm sure there'll be an offensive play or two to put here during this Stanley Cup winning season ;)

No disrespect to Gardiner, but that player "checking" him was absolutely brutal in his attempt.

I think Gards sold the "I'm passing it back to a teammate" act so well that he caught the guy flat-footed, honestly.

Like the Ryan Goins of the NHL
 
I watched the SJ game last night and wow!! Gardiner looked really bad, I mean he just sucked. this guy is not playing his game. also, a note The defense as a whole are not getting the puck out to take advantage of the fast offense, and nor are they holding the blue line. as for our offense, we are being out hustled

Article on why the Leafs shouldn't trade Jake Gardiner.
 
That is a wonderful article and whatnot, but the fact is that he was all-caps AWFUL in the one game where it counted most.  So no, PPP, people aren't going to seriously stop criticizing him and wanting to trade him until he is not awful in a G7-type situation.

And when he gets traded, they will wonder why we can't even make it to Game 7 in Round 1.

OK, right, Gardiner is irreplaceable, the linchpin to ... getting to G7 and then getting beat?

Would you be happier if they'd been knocked out in 6?

The whole team was awful in that game. They all basically disappeared after the first period. Only Gardiner gets singled out for it. Yes, he was bad, and he was victimized (by the Bruins and by some shaky goaltending), but, the amount of blame he gets for that game is disproportionate to his actual impact.
