Wasn't that an exhibition game? It would be like saying the guy who shoots for a million bucks played an NHL game.

the bolded is over generalizing. here is the thing with gardiner.. his strengths as a d-man arent what carlyle covets.

right now he has liles in that position.. and franson is doing well and has the size to use whereas gardiner.. not so much.. he is too much like liles.|

i am starting to see the way carlyle wants his d setup.

1 pure PMD (liles)
2 half and halfs (phaneuf, franson)
3 play the body shut down types (fraser, holzer, and kostka)

the only one i could see being removed right now to make room for someone like gardiner is kostka.. but then it take's carlyle's preferred balance away.

so long as carlyle is at the helm.. you arent going to see a PMD heavy defense.
- Dozzer

Kostka's actually not a stay at home type....don't be surprised if he's the one who goes down for Gardiner....what's his ice time been the last little while?

Yeah but all his weight didn't go to his hips and butt. She might have a good hip check or a flying McCabe by then though.

So apparently Jincy Dunne is causing controversy as the first female to potentially make the NHL...
- AdamFrench

You know, I'm kinda surprised no woman has made it as a goalie(other than playing in an exhibition game). It's not like they're at the same disadvantage they'd be at as skaters... flexibility trumps strength in net, IMO.

Who on the Leafs defense can actually be sent down without being subjected to waivers?

Holzer, I think.

NVM Dozzer, I see Kostka's time is back up.

Dunne for Bozak. Book it.

he's still getting around 25min a game. he just isnt paired with phaneuf right now so you dont notice him as much

I watched her documentary. On mute though. COUGAR!

Question....if the Avs don't want to pay him the money he is asking, why do you think they would have any interest in Grabo?

I don't really care, tbh. I'm just saying what I'd be ok with giving up.

I think that strength and reflex speed go hand-in-hand, though.

You may have the reflexes to recognize and react to a one-timer, but not the strength to push off and get across the crease.

Wasn't Clarkson, it was jesus....Cam........something?

You're right it was Janssen.

Regardless...it ended him.

I'd argue that, but it'll take too long.

To be fair to Manon, it was a pre-season game.

Yes, it was a publicity stunt, but let's get the wording correctly.

The one thing Gardiner has going for him is how he used Fowler. I just don't see Liles being that PMD. Anyways, GO Leafs Go?

How much contact in that league? Just asking, I don't know.

Yea, but that strength is relative to your own body, not to other people trying to push you off the puck.
