Leafs @ Bruins - Apr. 25th, 7:30pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[Guilt Trip]

Lol complaining about Andersen being out of position on a bank pass off the back boards.

Anyone could see it coming a mile away.  Too often people on this board find themselves in a position where Andersen gives up 3 goals in a period and are unwilling to offer any criticism of him. 

Gardiner and Plekanec didn't

[CarltonTheBear]

That whole thing started with Gardiner being lazy.

And on that goal Gardiner is nowhere near the net. He's by the circle. His effort getting to the house is terrible

I mean, he was right where he should have been. Bergeron was Plekanec's guy, that was pretty obvious.

[Oracle]

I could put together a three hour compilation of Hainsey looking up at the rafters after being on for a goal against. Getting pretty sick and tired of it actually.

Lol, I've developed a hatred for the number "2".

And, if he plays it as a pass, he leaves the short side wide open. It's a no win scenario for him when he teammates don't take their guys out of the play effectively.

[Guilt Trip]

And if Reilly is done so are we. Gardiner has been horrible

[herman]

You also have to realize the overhead view gives us a lot more context to plays unfolding than what Andersen (or any goalie) sees.

Well yeah he got caught on the ice for 2 minutes because he can't be bothered to skate to a puck. I mean he had it and he just let Nash take it from him because he won't move his legs.

[CarltonTheBear]

If I'm Babcock I'd think about double-shifting Matthews.  He's on his game tonight.

The Bozak line needs to move toward the end of the bench.

Rielly is fine. Cosmetic repairs. Gardiner’s fine, he just needs people to give him options.

Aside from the PPs Gardiner hasn't had a shift for over the minute tonight.

Gardiner also seems to be getting a number of shifts with Polak - and, every defenceman looks bad when their partner is Polak.

If the hyperbole on his shift time is the only thing you're going to jump on, then I consider my point made.

And he'll always avoid the hit and let the Bruins get the puck first. That's 2 goals on him. He's not a good D man.

Some of it is also the team’s confidence in Gardiner, which is warranted. They believe when he gets the puck he can make something happen (90% of the time he does) even under pressure, so they’re already wheeling up. When the forecheckers make a good move, Gardiner gets blamed.

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Turning from our own shortcomings, I'd say Rask is vulnerable too.  Keep the tempo up and the pressure on.
