Nash @ TO

[hobie]

Should be an interesting game Nashville is at 71 points in 51 games TO is 67 points in 55 games, 55 games is the most played in the NHL.

 

Nashville has always been a defensive juggernaut and that looks like they still are even tho Trotz isn't there any more. Their offense is in the top 1/3rd of the NHL and they have no injuries. 

 

TO's offense is one of the best in the NHL and the d is around 11th.

 

Interesting goings on in pressers lately, Gardiner says that Babs has given him the green light to join the offense, this isn't anything in itself except it implies that Babs might/probably previously insisted Gardiner move the puck not skate it. Gardiner has looked better recently, not perfect just better,  Gardiner is a better player unshackled actually he's superior, IMHO. Babs says is that what Gardiner thinks, he has a cautionary green light but he doesn't have an unconditional green light. I would think that even Gardiner knows he doesn't have an unconditional green light, talk about a coach and player not on the same wavelength.
