You know, 99% of the time I think you're off your (frank)ing rocker (this time is no different).

But I have had several of my hockey friends who are fans of other teams tell me the same thing. I don't personally think so, although (as per my last post), I do think you will see Kadri and Gardiner step up under Mikey B

I can see Kadri having a better season, no doubt.

Gardiner is, to me, a pretty bad offensive defenseman. That's all there is to it.

He is THE pretty bad offensive defenseman okay?

I'm inclined to agree, frankly. However, he showed something that has much smarter hockey folk think he's worth something, so I gotta think if it's there, Babs will get the most of it

If only he had asked the Wizard of Oz for a brain

Jake Gardiner's OPS is 2.7 and DPS 2.8 from 2013-14.

OPS is points share from the players offensive play and DPS is obviously points from his defensive play.

5.5 total is very good for a 2nd line d-man. He did take a step back last here, (1.1 and 1.7), but still has potential to bounce back.

Edit: if you look at Victor Hedman's PS he did pretty good in his first year (3.9) then 5.0 in his 2nd and the fell off the next two the produced a 9.0.

Not saying Gardiner is going to bounce back like that but just pointing it out there.

or right..my bad

worth a read for sure
Marner has the extra caresi factor..not afraid to mix it up ..which I think fans will like and Hunter/Shanny



I think we can all agree that is something the leafs can use
- senstroll

still have doubts on how well it will translate to pro.. but hey.. if the leafs end up with marner i wont be upset by any means

i have preferences.. but one of hanfin, strome, or marner and i will pleased

His damage per second is only 2.8? That's terrible for a rogue!

I barely understood anything you just said.

How does this affect him sucking while playing hockey exactly?

It's a stat that says how much a player contributes defensively and offensively to his teams scoring.

It says Gardiner had a pretty good 13-14 season and a bad one last year.

What I'm saying is he can easily rebound.

To his defence, he wasn't alone on that boat.

Well at least now I can disagree with you knowing what you meant. Thanks!

Then don't say anything.

If I want to give the coach a couple random nicknames, I don't think it's that big a deal

EDIT: You're just jealous because you want to call Therrien Mikey T, but now that makes you a big fat copier

Gardiner has great stats... now... I look forward to next season when Babcock "fixes" him

All you're missing now is Team Canada's roster and you're set for years to come.

Don't need Team Canada's roster. We're Canada's team, remember?
