uh, yeah.
That's messed up obviously but did anyone catch why in the world the Leafs' defensemen were nowhere to be seen? Cross check aside it was a turnover at the other team's blue line. How are their forwards behind the defense?
I know a lot of people are jumping on Reimer but I think Gardiner was the goat tonight.
Gardiner was the one defenceman back, wasn't he? And I don't really blame the defencemen for jumping in a little more at that point in the game.
But yeah, Gardiner didn't have a good game. The penalty that Mac took really changed the momentum in Buffalo's favour and was a stupid penalty for him to take. Ditto for Phaneuf of course. Reimer wasn't perfect, but he wasn't alone in that sense tonight.
