GDT - Leafs @ Ducks | 10:00PM EST - Randy's return to the Duck Pond

Dear twitterverse:

Huge win. That's one of the most complete games they've played all year, and the first line was huge as per usual. Hopefully they'll keep it up in San Jose!

Heh. It's funny, I thought that was a pretty good game too but the way certain hockey scribes on twitter describe it, we were once again lucky to win.
 
There are a lot of parallels between Sundin and Kessel & Phaneuf as well. Both those guys are in their 5th seasons with the team, they've been elite for their entire Leaf careers so far, and I feel like the general fanbase is just this year really starting to warm up to both of them.

Granted this is based off comments made on facebook newsposts (sportsnet/tsn etc), I'd say majority of the fan base hates Phaneuf still.
 
I didn't want to say anything during the game because with him anything can happen at any time BUT.. I think this might be the best consecutive game stretch we've seen from Gardiner all year. He's been great for about 3-4 games now. Not just good, but great. Very few mistakes, dangerous offensively, and solid enough in his own zone. Hopefully we continue to see some consistency from him. I don't think he's put together two good games in a row this season prior to this, to be honest.
 
Really solid performance by the 17th best team in the league... according to TSN: http://www.tsn.ca/fantasy_news/rankings/nhl/

I love how often these have the Leafs, not just behind teams that they're ahead of in the standings, but way ****ing behind.

They've got the ****ing 11th place (in the east) Devils in 12th overall, and the Leafs 17th (with the Leafs being 9 points up on Jersey and one of the hottest teams in the league for the last ~20 games now.

Another tough Leaf result for those who believe shot counter should decide games. . .so they don't actually have to watch.

Sounds more like Franson's issue than Gardiner's.
