Don’t let this lead distract you from Jake Gardiner getting traded

lol yes!

 

[DarkKnight]

Two powerhouse lines, life is good.

 

[jrgtml67]

Well I agree but nowhere did I see an injury. So leaves sick or a trade...you do know as well it could be for a D. Speculating a center...more a question though.

 

[The Apologist]

This game is pretty much the Kadri line and the Foligno line destroying the other 3 lines on either team.

Foligno line is only lighting up one line. And it's not the one people want to admit to

 

[keonsbitterness]

Could be a personal issue like the death of a family member.

My money is on an injury, but we'll see.

 

[Sniper99]

Traded to Ottawa for Karlsson

Only in dreams right?

For OEL?.....

Please.

 

[kule41]

Damn they already have 30 shots against!

 

[Ratboy]

Gardiner could have easily came down with the flu or something. I'm not sure us dealing from a position of weakness makes sense but you never know.

Maybe its to get a dman with a little less skill but a fully functional brain.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Where's MinusMitch?

Miss that guy

With every bullet so far?

 

[93LEAFS]

Can't see us moving him unless an upgrade on D was coming back. Not having Gards would make our biggest need a d.

Only people he could realistically be moved for (in a package) who would be upgrades are OEL and McDonagh. I highly doubt it though. I think he's just injured.

 

[Kiwi]

Sounds like the best time to trade Gardiner

Are we trying to win or not then? Because if we are something bloody good is going to have to be coming the other way

 

[Walshy7]

Even if it happens subtly, you still see the player like stretching it on their way off or something.

Gardiner just casually glided off.

Just weird. Hopefully you’re right.

Maybe he realized suddenly, he doesn’t have a brain?

 

[Liminality]

Yeah not sure about Gardiner

 

[Cor]

Also, teams usually tell media pretty quickly if guys aren’t returning due to injury.

The fact no one has said anything and it’s been almost a period and intermission is pretty telling

 

[Daisy Jane]

Foligno line is only lighting up one line. And it's not the one people want to admit to

what's happening?

 

[Sniper99]

It’s happened before! Anyone remember Luongo’s overtime playoff poop about a decade ago?

Real talk though, he’s probably injured. Which would really suck, because he’s been playing the best hockey of his season, and some of the best hockey of his career.

LOL No cant say I do.

 

[kyle n00bas]

My money is on an injury, but we'll see.

Even with Lou's cone of silence and all, I find it hard to believe it wouldn't have leaked by now if he had left halfway through the 1st due to being traded

 

[Raym11]

maybe Gardiner goes for a right-side D man of similar caliber

 

[Liminality]

Didn't notice this but it must be something like this.

 

[Ratboy]

Foligno line is only lighting up one line. And it's not the one people want to admit to

f*** Matthews sucks

 

[The Examiner]

I think that last goal gives the:

Marleau-Kadri-Marner line,

1 more goal than the:

Marleau-Kadri-Komarov line.

In only 10 games.

It also puts that line only 2 behind the:

JVR-Bozak-Marner line.

(This is all according to LeftWingLock)


What an effective switch by Babcock and Komarov has looked solid on the 4th line.

 

[Zonk]

 

[DarkKnight]

Lots of twitter types thinking Gardiner was traded, lol.

 

[ULF_55]

Matthews line in each other's way.

 

[jrgtml67]

Agree its either a trade or ill. But illness wouldve been reported prior to game..game time decision. Has to be a trade but for what? A D? Or a center??
