Gardiner is a #1 D

[TheBigThree]

I don't care what anyone says but gardiner has one of the highest shot suppression stats in the league, besides that he's the best D goal scorer on the leafs and most solid.

Do we really need another Leafs thread...

So you have two no.1 D's yet aren't in a playoff spot... doesn't add up.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

lol.

I am assuming the fans are just being silly with all these threads

these are all just sarcasm right?

Winning an outdoor game can do some wonders, I guess.

Two 1D, a 1G, a top 5 C in the league, Marner and Nylander who have better vision than Gretzky...

And no Gardiner is not a 1D, or a 2D or a 3D...

 

[TheRexman]

Oh cmon, knock it off with the Leaf threads. This belongs on the Leaf board, not here.

 

[KlefDown]

Man, I really should have opened a Eric Gryba is a #1D thread when he scored that GWG came LA few days ago

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Leaf fan saying not a 1 d...the end.

 

[Machinehead]

Absolutely. He's great.

 

[KingTux]

Just stop

 

[A1LeafNation]

Leaf board. Closed.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Absolutely. He's great.

Yeah Gardiner is fantastic.

 

[MastuhNinks]

Yeah the Leafs have 2 #1D and a top 10 goalie which is why our GA is so bad.

 

[Weast]

Wow, Gardiner and Rielly are both #1 D? Pair that up with the top 10 Center they have in Matthews and they are almost guaranteed a playoff spot!

 

[DopeyFish]

Taro Tsujimoto is our #1 D

don't get it confused

 

[NiL8r87]

Just stop. He's a great second pairing dman.

 

[leafsfan1234]

Gardiner is a perfect example for why evaluating a defenseman's defensive ability through advanced stats is a joke.

 

[Nylanders Flow]

No, but he's a fantastic player who gets no respect (even from some Leafs fans who will **** on him for any misstep).

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Gardiner is a #3 D on the Sens, quite easily as well.

That's great, except for the fact that he's not.

 

[HansonBro]

In before all 9 leaf threads are closed

 

[Korpse]

Leaf board. Closed.

they closed the leafs board? these threads make sense now

 

[Knies iT]

He's more of a #2/3, but you can definitely make a case based on the way he's been playing this year.

Really good player.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Such ridiculousness.

Next thread, Rielly and Gardiner are the leagues top pairing.

 

[Hunter368]

Gardiner a #1D eh? Really?

Oh boy......this rates up with there with the Sens fan who started the Laine reminds him of Mario L thread.

Laine is no where close to Mario now or ever. Gardiner is not a #1D now or ever.

Yikes people
