Way to go.
Leafs @ Devils - Apr. 5th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590
- Thread starter CarltonTheBear
- Start date
Way to go.
Komarov had 2 attempts at offensive zone entries on that shift. Both were broken up.
Crap Devils score. Moment I jump on here. That being said, there are couple of things I'd like to give Jake Gardiner props for.
He takes a lot of crap for different things, but here a couple of things I'd really like to praise him for - often overlooked and never really mentioned.
1. He keeps an incredible number of plays in at the offensive blueline with his speed, his ability to knock or gloves pucks down or simply corral bouncing pucks. I think he is far better at it than any other Leaf blueliner and better than most I've watched on other teams.
2. He rarely gets caught on a bad pinch (despite his risk-taking to keep pucks in, which makes it even more impressive). I mean when was the last time you saw a highlight with Gardiner getting caught up ice. Pretty impressive in my opinion. Just watch him, he's is really skilled at keeping pucks in without getting burned.
Just my two cents worth.

Hard to take him out when Dermott is back, given how solid he?s been at both ends. I wonder if Babcock considers playing him over Zaitsev.
I've long been an Uncle Leo fan, with his agitating style of play and effort plus he could be counted on to chip in on offence as well. I knew this was his last contract year and was hoping Leafs could bring him back.
That was at the beginning of the season.
I still see the effort but yee gawd has he slowed down and he's a black hole with the puck.
Thanks for your time as a Leaf Uncle Leo....

If that's a promo still from The Partridge Family, I'll have to terminate our friendship.
Bro hug man!
Dude, that's the look we were trying for back in those days.

The amount of interference the Devils have gotten away with is out of control.
At the same time, Matthews has to be better. He can get pretty passive under physical pressure.
