I know we're all in love with Garidner here.. But that guy's breakout is terrible. He either tosses it up the ice and misses everyone or holds on to it for way too long before making a sloppy pass in his own end, effectively killing all momentum and letting the other team comfortably set up they're neutral zone defence. Needs to be addressed
The bolded is among the oddest sentiments I've seen.
For someone that just "toss it up the ice and miss everyone or hold on to it for way too long", it's kind of cool that it still ends up with us breaking out with possession more often than any other D-man except Rielly. Weird that, must be a conspiracy.
I mean, for all his flaws and annoying sides, what you describe is half of what he excels at. That, and carrying it through the neutral zone and into the o-zone with control.
