Kessel has 2 points this game. Clearly that means the leafs will win. Unless like... illuminati and lizard people or something.

I wonder if Santorelli has some kind of upper body injury. He is playing with Kadri and Winnik and is the third choice for face offs.
Way to not show a replay of that controversial penalty Sportsnet.

Well, Randy Carlyle is still the coach for the Leafs, so, really, there could be absolutely no reason at all.
Holland as the extra attacker instead of Kadri.

Had nothing to do with the fact that the entire team didn't show up for half of it.

They lost this as a team by not showing up for the 1st half of the game. There is no single player responsible for this loss. There rarely is.

And it looked to me like he fanned on it. Becomes his fault, but it's not like it's lack of effort on that, fanning on the puck (as anyone who has played even shinny hockey can attest to) happens unexpectedly. Of course you could argue he could have done many different things there, but I digress.
I stick by my blaming on Gardiner. I do not expect a 3.5 - 4 mil defense man to "ever" fan on a pass three feet from the goal "ever". And if he does he should of tackled the guy he gave it too. The man is far to soft to be playing defense. IMO.
On another note, I felt bad for Kadri during the third period, I would of preferred to see him on the at the end of the game.

Then it's a good thing Gardiner makes $4.05mil!

You have very unrealistic expectations of a defenseman then. It happens, if it could be avoided then the term 'fanning on the puck' wouldn't exist. You can be the toughest defenseman that ever lived and still fan on the puck, it's got nothing to do with being 'soft'. He also was one of the few players on the team to consistently gain the Coyotes zone with possession all game. It sucks that it happened but there were far worse things that happened all game by the team as a whole.

I think you have to just let him 'play out' all the mistakes that these young guys are bound to make from time to time. I mean, it takes a while to get good at the NHL level. There is no need to press the panic button on Gardiner and put him on the trade block, right? That mistake has been made a few times before..

Not sure what part of the game Mirtle tracked for this (his twitter account would suggest it was at least the 1st period), but the Leafs had 3x the number of dump-ins Arizona had during that time. That's a lot.
