Yeah, but he's usually good offensively. That's where he's best.
It's everything else where he gets shaky. Rosen gets a pass from me because it's his first NHL game, but the D really needs to stay composed.
Most of last season Leafs couldnt protect a lead.
Also, I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I hope Drouin is as good as you Montreal fans hope, cuz youre going to need something to get you guys going.
Im not worried about Matthews yet. Yeah, 4 points in 2 games is good on paper, but when you consider we have scored 15 times and hes only got 4 points it seems worse. Honestly though I just want us to win. We have some forward depth for sure this year. And that definitely matters.

So Klingberg got the goal instead of Seguin.
Both goals scored on the power play.
Meh.

Yes, he was. Stats don't always tell the story. He was out of position numerous times, made the most ridiculously stupid passes, and had a handful of turnovers. Not to mention his shitty play that resulted in Toronto getting that penalty at the end of the first, leading to the second Rangers goal. All he had to do was touch the puck on a glove pass, and the play would've been dead.
Luckily, he can also play well. But tonight wasn't his best night.

He'll get more points. His chemistry with Willy is just too good to not get him points.

Blues get power play, Tarasenko snipes it 6 seconds in.

Provorov!!!! Woo hoo
You're blaming the wrong guy when he scored himself and set up the winner. Considering the Rangers had 3 even strength goals, you can hardly blame Gardiner when he wasn't on the ice for the majority of the Rangers goals. It's like you're looking to find fault in him.

not much different from eashl then
I could be on board with calling it a somewhat weak call if a. the Canucks penalty 2 minutes was completely undeserved and b. he didn't just do it right in front of the ref, he did it into the ref
Your expectations are way too high if you're even contemplating being worried about Matthews.
4pts in 2 games isn't just good on paper it's good in game.

I mean, I know who I was watching. There are plays that don't show up on the stats sheet. He gets points, and he'll continue to do so. I'm not concerned with his points output. If his +/- stays positive, I'll be plenty happy. But he was still sloppy, as was much of the D.
Matthews had the puck bouncing on him a few times, didn't look that comfortable but that being said he could have had more points. He sprung Nylander on a breakaway but he didn't score, also had a couple other chances, just wasn't going his way tonight.

I thought the Canucks were tanking
If the rest of the D was as sloppy as Gardiner, Leafs score 11 tonight. Blame other guys too. He was one of the better D on a bad overall defensive night.

Yeah. He had that early cross-ice chance when Pavelec came into the game, but just couldn't bury it. He'll be burying those in no time. Not really worried about Matthews.
oh we are, don't you worry creeper

I did blame the others. The only guy I really gave a pass to was Rosen since it was his first NHL game. The others should be better, but I'm confident they will be.

have you not watched the Canucks play for the last, let's say, 8 years?
ovechkin passed sundin, nieuwendyk and modano in all time goal scoring tonight
nylander's goal was taken away from him as he never touched the puck
