Leafs @ Islanders - Feb. 27th, 7:00pm - SN, SN 590

But Phaneuf has the low IQ?

He and Gardiner in a Race to the Bottom?  With Bernier?

Was just going to say Bernier has had more "brain-farts" than anyone this year I think.

No kidding.  He had another play sometime this season almost that bad.

I think he did something similar, passing it right to the other team or something.

But not criticizing his play, he's been incredible.

 

[Arn]

Good news, leafs half way through this power play unscathed

 

[dappleganger]

WTF. That's all I have to say.

 

[Sanecow]

That was nowhere near as bad as the one that bounced off the backboards then in off his skate.

Agreed.  But like the rest of the D, he needs to make the simple play as often as possible.

;D

 

[Stronger Than All]

Gardiners giveaways have been brutal.  What is the learning curve on this stuff for young d-men?

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

can't we just decline the penalties?

 

[Stickytape]

I knew the team would be a bit rusty.  I knew it would feel weird for me switching from cheering for Team Canada to cheering for the Leafs again.. but ouch.

Still feels winnable, though.

 

[Zee]

Just checked the box score. Did they really give up two shorties or is that a typo?

 

[Sanecow]

Oh, yeah, then that happened.

 

[Arn]

Wouldn't have happened if Orr had been on the bench

 

[Sanecow]

DENIED!

 

[Stronger Than All]

Gardiner is making me happy tonight

 

[Jeremiad]

Gardiner sucks tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

With 13 of the final 22 on the road, this one would be rather nice to put in the W column.

 

[Sanecow]

What a goof.

 

[Stickytape]

Did these clowns practice AT ALL during the break?  Embarrassing.

Development is not usually linear, but at some point one might ponder whether Gardiner's struggles are due to being inexperienced or a matter of simply not being a particularly smart player.
