reporterchris That’s the best team defence they had all year!

reporterchris Win & lose as a team!!

FAN590 reporterchris They should have defended him by action...coming to play hard and playing to win. I am worried about their drive and heart.

reporterchris Well gardiner better get his head out of his ass and start playing defence instead of give a way

reporterchris Hes a plug. And yes coaching staff should wake up and stop playing him so much and in important situations in the game. They did the same to Phanuef and he worked him self out of town

reporterchris Who booed Marner for giving away the puck at the blue line in the first place?

reporterchris It’s just a game and some of you are sending death treats to him over IG. Jesus, get over yourselves and grow up. You Embarrass all us Leafs fans.

reporterchris Tired of watching the man play every play like he’s on a power play, his stretch passes never reach its mark and ends up dumping it every time causing icings, or gets caught scrambling to fix his mistakes in intercepted passes, been an ongoing mess since his phenuff tutelage

reporterchris How long can Jake Gardner’s poor play+lack of compete/soft effort be accepted as a standard? This cannot be what is acceptable any more if the leafs are truly evolving to a high compete/accountable standard of performance as a team. It starts with each player being accountable!

reporterchris It's time to 'Larry Murphy' him and Nylander out of Toronto. I'm sure we could get a couple of very useful defencemen in a package Leafs nanananaheyheyheygoodbye

reporterchris To Maple Leafs fans... Get over your fake but-hurt outrage, crapping on the players does not make you a hero and does nothing to help the team...

reporterchris It’s not totally his fault it’s a team sport, if you don’t get back to help your defence man out.. it’s as much your fault as their’s

reporterchris What are they supposed to do? They're prob thinking the same as us! ' WTF is he doing?!?'

reporterchris He deserved all the boos

Booing a single player ON YOUR OWN TEAM Toronto is a joke. You’ve had so many reasons to boo in the past when your team was a garbage heap. You now have a decent squad and do that shit? Disgusting. Alan_D_Campbell Dont need to boo him but his defensive play has been brutal since day one. If everyone loves him for his points put up front. Lol Just wait till the summer when he asks for big bucks that he doesn't deserve

Were fans right to boo Gardiner?Leafs Lunch host Andi Petrillo and co-hosts Craig Button and Gord Miller discuss whether it was right for Leafs fans to boo Jake Gardiner on Monday night. LeafsLunch1050 To even ask this question.....my god, what's wrong with people? LeafsLunch1050 I expect nothing less from Leafs fans honestly....throwing jerseys on the ice, thinking they have the biggest fan base in the world. You never see a Jet's fan booing their own player every time he touches the puck. classless LeafsLunch1050 I don’t think booing one’s own player has ever helped improve his game
