Injury Report: Jake Gardiner, back spasms, day-to-day

[Eternal Leaf]

I’m not against booing but I pay good money at the gas station so does that mean I can boo the attendant when they make a mistake?

True but it'd be equally weird if you cheered the attendant or asked for his autograph.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Now Dermott is tasked with carrying the boat anchor that is Zaitsev. I believe in him

That’s highly irrelevant. If the attendant was making more than minimum wage and throwing pizzas up the middle of the gas station then you could compare the two.

 

[ORRFForever]

I'm am selling tickets - average price $368.80.

For the price of your ticket, you can come over my house, boo me, call me a moron, and tell me how lousy I am at my job for 3 hours without stop - God knows, people have done that in the past for free.

I promise, I won't complain.

If you get horse from all the booing, I will sell you a beer for $20.

Come one, come all !!!

Yes.

Nonsense analogy as well.

Lili ?

 

[Mr Hockey]

it really isn't. other teams are far less hesitant to try their kids higher in the lineup. tbay has Cernak on their top pair and didn't wait for an injury. and that's common all over the league.

kappy would still be on the 4th line if Willy had 't held out.

I'm pretty sure Kappy would have worked his way into the top 9 as Johnsson did.

 

[NastyKnies]

I hope the morons that boo him are happy with how awful our defence is without him.

Some of you deserve the defence you're going to see tonight.

We’ve been seeing it all season with him in the line up...

I like the kid to but yikes, that's some tough sledding

Hopefully Babcock uses Marincin, I've liked what I've seen out of him this year

 

[Rogue]

finally get a chance to see what exactly Dermott is at the moment. (we didn't have to wait until an injury, of course, but that's how our coach rolls).

fingers crossed Dermott plays well enough to force Babcock to keep him in the top four, like kappy did.

Fully support you!!!

 

[DarkKnight]

I keep Dermott with Oz, move Zaits to third pair with Marincin.

 

[hamzarocks]

Lili ?

if he is healthy come training camp I can see him winning a spot on the third pair with zaitsev on top pair and oz on 2nd.

 

[Christ]

Well the injury could be worse, I was playing NHL 2017 the other day and Jake was out something like 6 weeks with a ruptured testicle...programmers have a sick sense of humour...

 

[A1LeafNation]

Heard he had back spasms for the Avs game.

It'll take more than a game vs. a terrible opponent

I'm pretty sure the gas attendant wouldn't care. They can probably deal much better with criticism, making minimum wage than Gardiner can making 4 million a year.

 

[Gabriel426]

This is not good, hope he gets better soon.

 

[Gabriel426]

I'm pretty sure the gas attendant wouldn't care. They can probably deal much better with criticism, making minimum wage than Gardiner can making 4 million a year.

This concept of if I paid money I have the right to boo is just non sense. I paid taxes, which means I pay for Doctors, Nurses and cops... does that mean I can boo the cops whenever they give me a parking ticket or speeding ticket bc I am sure they made mistakes.

 

[Burnie97]

I'm glad to see Dermott get a shot now. Hopefully for a couple games minimum. I figure the Leafs are going to do this next year anyway.

Marincin always scares me. Although the last time he was in for a game or two he seemed to play decent. We'll see.

This is definitely not next year's d core though. Dear lord no. Theres a couple guys on the Marlies that should get a shot and the Leafs are probably losing Gardiner so they'll be getting someone else by trade before next season's start I think.

Possible to bring in ufas if trades happen also.

 

[Buds17]

I'd expect a trade or signing. Hainsey and Marincin are UFAs, and I'm not sure I see either returning. Think there will be a couple of changes to the current (when healthy) starting six, with one coming from within the organization.

In any case, hopefully Gardiner isn't out for too long as the situation looks quite different without him.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Dermott can replace Gardiner right now.

Absolutely Not. Kid gives up waay to many chances and everybody will see tonight.

Gardiner >> Dermott right now AINEC

 

[93WrapAround]

Maybe he's just out of pizza dough, I'm sure hell be back next game serving up some more pies for our opponent.

Yes, you can boo. I don't think the Cops, Doctors or Nurses would care. The point is that these are athletes are making good money. Fans aren't booing the player, they are booing the effort. It's like when a QB misses a wide open reciever or a basketball player missing a free throw. It does not make you a bad fan to boo a player's effort, hopefully it makes said player step their game up. Gardiner does generate offence from the back end, but defensively he needs to be better.

If you want to boo the cop giving you a ticket, or the doctor / nurse keeping you healthy, all the power to you.

However, Jake G is an entertainer and feedback from the audience, both good and bad, is part of the job.​
