The average fan doesn't understand his strengths. Consistent controlled entries and denials, consistent quality first passes, etc. Things that keep you out of your D zone.

Gudbranson on the Canucks treats the puck like a grenade, ices it more times than he makes a tape to tape pass. But the average fan doesn't comprehend this, they just see Don Cherry showing his fights and crosschecks and they think he's a DFD warrior.


The average fan only understands goals for / against highlights. Yes, Gardiner seems to make share of awful or soft plays that lead to goals against, but you have to consider all parts of his game.


Last.2 games I went to, I think I saw Gardiner mess up 10+ times

He's getting booed 'cause loleafs fans. They throw waffles.

Booed Larry Murphy out of town, wins 2 cups and goes into HOF..

Booed Kessel out of town, wins 2 cups and should have won Conn Smythe.

I'm not going to take Leafs fans word for it.

That doesn't have anything to do with how the player was treated, or Leafs fans ability to judge a player.

Every time I see this guy below the hash marks with the puck getting pressured i eat my nails

Offence is great and everything but I value defence on a defence man much more


I wouldn't go as far to say his "offense is great" but i agree with you everywhere else...

wtf are you talkin bru?

once again, all this bull shit I hear people say about leaf fans I've never actually witnessed... you just watch too much media

Jake sucks. PERIOD - He knows it, we know it. I give him credit for owning up to his terrible "play making", but that shouldn't keep you a spot on the bench.

I will say that, like partank said, almost anytime he's got the puck in our zone it's heart throbbing.
