Nope, Gardiner was stationary and bobbling the puck around.  But you don't brook any criticism of Gardiner, so that's that.

Gardiner had the puck and Kessel tapped it off his stick and the puck went into Gardiner's skates. Then he fumbled a bit as a Wings player was right on it him but he was able to knock the puck forward into open ice where Rielly picked it up and went off. You're making it sound like Rielly had to steal the puck away from Gardiner.

In case you don't believe them ZBBM, this IS how it happened.  I actually thought it was Reilly who screwed up Gardiner, but I wasn't sure, but someone skated into his stick/puck and knocked it underneath him.

Rielly bails out Gardiner again....

He never bailed him out a first time.  Is this Gardiner hate going to be every game?  I need to ready myself if so.

Sure did, on the goal he scored.  Went back and extracted the puck while Gardiner was fumbling around with it.

I don't hate Gardiner, as I've said several times.  Justified criticism isn't hate, right?

Gardiner had the puck, Kessel skated by and went to take the puck from him and tapped it slightly knocking it off Gardiner's stick.  Gardiner recovered and fed it to Rielly. Just watched it.

Not sure how that's bailing him out, and if it is it wasn't Gardiner's fault.

Nope, Gardiner was stationary and bobbling the puck around.  But you don't brook any criticism of Gardiner, so that's that.

No, sorry that's not how it happened.  Literally just watched the replay.  And in any case, Gardiner recovered possession and fed it to Rielly.  That's not 'bailing' him out if Gardiner was able to make the play to him.

Nope, that's not how it happened at all.  8)
 
Liked half a minute in the corner watching the Red Wing player covering the puck with his skate. Top line just fishing for it with their sticks. Knock someone over FFS.

This is where Gardiner put the puck/where Rielly picked the puck up:

I don't think I posted since last season after that diastrous collapse in game 7 and declared they need to blow up this team, they aren't winners.

A year later, I reiterate. Rebuild... Again
 
What worries me most that in defining moment of the season the best player on the ice was 20year old kid. This is not a good news with all those 6/7/8 years long contracts

Which was nowheresville until Rielly picked it up.  Hardly a feed.

Nonis on July 5th "I think our top 6 stacks up pretty well against the rest of the NHL. That's not my problem anymore, it's up to Randy"

It's going to be so much fun when somebody puts all the stupid things Leafs management said in the summer and in Oct/Nov all in one article.
 
I was unfortunately at the game tonight. Gardiner really does have the hockey sense of a fungus gnat. Lots of skill but hasn't learned to harness it yet. Our captain is even more torturous to watch live.
I seriously hope they start taking some sort if action whether it be benching, reduction of ice time, demotions, firings...anything as opposed to banging their heads against the same wall over and over again.

Very frustrating to watch.
 
Not since 1985 has a Leafs team lost 8 in a row.

This season's version of the Leafs may very well be on pace in allowing the most shots on goal in NHL history.

Very nice. (*sic*)

Jonathan Bernier... was asked what the biggest difference in the game was and immediately responded "odd-man rushes.

Blues coach Ken Hitchcock eloquently laid out his vision for how hockey should be played during the stop in Toronto and made it clear that he believes offence is
created from a good defence. He preaches a tight-checking, puck possession style
and allows the goal-scoring to evolve naturally from that.

"The minute you start talking about not scoring you?re on dangerous ground," said Hitchcock. "The ground that you?re in danger of is that you?re focused on scoring
rather than winning. Because the next thing you do is you score four and let in five.

"You?re going to go through phases and stages in a season where you don?t score as much as you did before and you?re still going to have to win hockey games."
