It's been blatantly obvious for some time now that you hate everything about Ducks hockey, so your intake on this subject has no value whatsoever.

Lol, and at the same time I've had multiple Leaf fans say this same thing to me :rolleyes:

Gardiner has not even been the anchor on the 2nd pairing with the "Leafs" ( 30th placed team last season) :nod:

Well I mean he actually has. You could make an argument for Gardiner being the best defenseman on the Leafs. Personally I would put Rielly ahead of him, but there definitely is an argument.

Waiting for you to post his QoC numbers as a reason why Gardiner sucks tho. Always get a chuckle out of that.

That comes out when you says how great he is defensively and how he plays top line match ups :laugh:

He excelled against middle pairing QoC in middle pairing minutes - this doesn't mean that he should get a chance at bigger minutes against better competition, it means he's terrible... :sarcasm:

Such a ridiculous notion isn't it? I mean let's ignore that the difference between QoC means very little -- and also the fact that you can only pick match ups 41 games a year.. I've provided mikec with articles that proves this, but he chooses to ignore them. Whatever fits his uninformed opinion I guess.

Primarily a PP second pair defenseman that excelled at it? Once Phaneuf was traded, our 2nd most used defenseman? Easily our best shot suppressing player, who when paired with other D all their shot suppression stats drastically went up?

Oh ****, forgot his QoC was tad bit below our other D though. He must suck. :naughty:

  • He excelled at being a 2nd unit PP guy? :laugh:
  • Once Phaneuf, Polak were traded and Hunwick had season ending injury, he was the 2nd most used d'man.
  • He has good suppressing numbers when he is sheltered from top lines.
  • Dion went from the top pairing to the 2nd pairing with Gardiner, its logical his shot suppression stats drastically went up.
  • yes his CRQoC low in comparison

what else you got, this is fun lol

He's a pretty equivalent player to Trouba. Both are top 2/3 Dmen. Trouba more valuable as he's quite a bit younger.

Fowler is closer to Myers in ability

lol trouba is only 2 years younger than fowler. except fowler is better offensively and actually plays top competition on a contender and not one that drafted 2nd overall

That's not what the numbers say - http://public.tableau.com/shared/F5F94SCS3?:display_count=yes

Examining his shot suppression and possession stats, Trouba is basically a #5 defensively and terrible compared to Gardiner. Other then a similar goal production rate, Gardiner smashes Trouba in every area.

I wouldn't give up much for Trouba. He's basically a PP specialist with a weak defensive game and he's demanding stupid money for what he brings. Gardiner >>>>>>>> Trouba.

Ugh.

First, Gardiner played more than Polak. Polak was floating between bottom pairing and hitching along beside Gardiner.

2nd, He wasn't sheltered from top lines, Rielly pairing played the more difficult minutes/oppositions - THAT DOES NOT MEAN GARDINER WAS SHELTERED.

3rd, every defenseman that seen minutes with Gardiners shot suppression numbers went up, not just Phaneufs. Example, Rielly played with Gardiner 68:15, otherwise a 49.8 CF% player last year, jumped to 60.4 CF% when playing those minutes with Gardiner. (If we're playing Rielly on the right side again next year, really wouldn't mind them testing out the Gardiner-Rielly pairing again)

4th, We've come full circle, don't care enough to reply again.

Why are you so convientely leaving out Trouba's near elite shot generation numbers? Oh right it's cause you always completly ignore evidence that doesn't back you up. In no way shape or form could you say Trouba's shot metrics are not top pairing material without being completly disingenuous, which is seemingly your go to for every single argument

Please stop responding to all my posts, it's creepy how you follow me around these forums bud

Maybe you shouldn't be posting in a thread about the Ducks if all you want to do is talk crap about Ducks players, and then get upset when Ducks fans reply to your comments.

:facepalm: You're in an ANA-TOR thread, not a WPG thread. I'm not following you. You're following us Duck fans.

Trouba sucks. Get over it. His defensive game is terrible. Both Gardiner and Trouba both have top 2 shot generation numbers, but Trouba bring his offensive qualitative down by being a such a poor playmaker. He's basically a #4 offensively and a #6 defensively. You guys better hurry and sign him before someone else grabs up such a sweet player :sarcasm:.

Trouba has bust written all over him. Gardiner is much, much better. Shouldn't even be putting Trouba and Gardiner in the same sentence. Trouba is in Nick Holden territory in terms of skill and ability - http://public.tableau.com/shared/PPSC9HDR7?:display_count=no
