Minor Ex-Leaf News

A guy like Holland is one of those guys where you wonder if he got a better opportunity whether he could have put it together.
 
I'm still grumpy about how he was used here. He may not have become anything, but I don't think he ever got the sustained opportunity he needed to be able to show what he could do. He was always ill-suited for the 3rd/4th line role he had as a Leaf.
 
You know... I'm just gonna say it... the alternative would have been losing to Montreal/Roy in the Finals and Canadiens fans are smug enough about their Cup history so them having that over our heads would have made them even more unbearable.

I don't know how I feel about this. It looks to me like a regular check by a bigger player on a smaller player, the issue being the smaller player had his head forward and so even a clean looking check can have the head as principal point of contact.

I know Gardiner wasn't the most popular Leaf during his time here but man what a rough go for him the past few years. Was almost completely injury free for most of his career (missed a total of 8 games in 5 NHL seasons before his last one with the Leafs). Final season here and he almost kind of out of nowhere started to have back issues late in the season that kept him out for some games and really hampered his play. He kept struggled with that back (and also hip) problem throughout his time in Carolina to the point where it kept him out of the entire 21/22 season.

He has 1-year left on his deal with a $4.05mil AAV. Hopefully he's able to get his career a little back on track.

Marlies reunion where the hills are alive
 
Just tuned in to watch my Belfast Giants first game in the Champions Hockey League away to Ocleari Trinec of Czechia only to find Martin Marincin patrolling the blue line for the Czech side. He played about 40 minutes as well. Picked up an assist.

Missed this the other day. Earlier in the summer it was reported that he was medically cleared and expected to play this upcoming season. Looks like something changed over the offseason. Guy can't catch a break.

You kind of wonder if his career is basically over at this point.
