Player of the Game & The Good, The Bad, The Redden

The Rules What is the poll for? You are voting for the player of the game - the one who put forth the most effort, who put the team on his shoulders, who contributed the most. Do not vote for the player who had the best statistical game just because he had the best statistical game. This does not mean you should not vote for the player of who had the best statistical game, but do not vote for him just because of that fact. Who can I vote for? You may vote for any player who dressed for the game and played at least one shift. If the player you want to vote for is not included in the poll, select "Other" and indicate in your post who you wish to vote for. In the case that I egregiously miss the player who everyone wants to vote for in the poll, I will count the votes in the thread. What is this "The Good, The Bad, The Redden" nonsense? It is my twist on the title of the famous spaghetti western movie, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Since multiple players may have outstanding games and you can only vote for one player in the poll, this affords you the opportunity to recognize multiple players, or a facet of the team, for their commendable play ("The Good"). This also affords you the opportunity to rip players, or a facet of the team, for their particularly substandard play ("The Bad"). Finally, just as "The Player of the Game" affords you the opportunity to recognize the best, this affords you the opportunity to commend the crème de la crème of the worst, who delivered an atrocious performance, or whose singular (or multiple) bad plays directly led to the the detriment of the team ("The Redden").

Alexander Frolov Memorial Trophy The Alexander Frolov Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player who most exemplifies the qualities that Alex brought to the ice game in and game out.

[Florida Ranger]

Great win. Glad to see Gaby do work.

The Good: Marian Gaborik

The Bad: Gustavsson

The Redden: The whole Leafs team

[Ailurophile]

Player of the game: Who else? Marian ****ing Gaborik!

The Good: Pretty much everyone, except maybe Drury. Henrik with the goose egg!

The Bad: Drury. Dude needs to hit the net at least. He was good on the PK though, I guess.

The Redden: The Leafs, lol!

[ThisYearsModel]

Glad to see Gabby back. Toronto is dreadful. Where was Phil Kessel tonight?

[EmpireStateofMind]

So we either lose or win 7-0 in these jerseys?

[Placid]

Only one logical choice for player of the game tonight

[Ryan McDonut]

anisimov would look badass with long hair

[Prusted]

Good: Gabby
Bad: nothing
Redden: Injuries

[BleedinBLUEsince92]

Hey I was watching the game and noticed like a dark red pad near the knuckles of the glove. Could anyone clarify what those were?

[Cmox]

The Good- Gabby breaking out !
The Bad - Feds Injury
The Redden-All injuries

[Mint Berry Crunch]

Beauchemin and Grabovski a nice -3 each. Surprised Kessel escaped with only a -1.

They started wearing extra padding because of all the injuries.

[ColonialsHockey10]

Good: Everyone
Bad: Drury was ****ing awful again. He in incapable of playing a productive shift.
Redden: Fedotenko's shoulder, which was most definitely seperated.

[KingWantsCup]

So with these new jerseys, it's either win 7-0 or lose, literally.

[Provolone*]

Good: Gabby
Bad: Injuries
Redden: Seeing Phaneuf's face when the refs pulled his jersey down.

[Killem Dafoe]

if Drury was an option i so woulda picked him

[silverfish]

Scummy move from Orr at the end of the game there...

HOWEVER

I loved when he cross-checked Ovechkin in the face, so I can't really complain.

Nice to win again, let's hope they can ride the momentum into Carolina tomorrow.

[Carl Hagelins Flow]

The Good: Gaborik's 5 pts and 4 goals to end his drought, even if the Leafs defense and goaltending was Swiss cheese tn.

The Bad: The Entire Leafs Team.

The Redden: The Entire Leafs Team. And suffering yet another injury with Feds, and possibly a broken wrist in Eminger.

A Sharks fan said he wanted his team to try and get Beauchy on another forum. Facepalms ensued.

[FromTheSide]

30 votes for gaborik, 0 for everyone else.

Definitive poll much?

EDIT - 40 for gabs....1 for lundqvist....who was "that guy"

[lbrowne]

Great 7-0 win and thanks to Gabs for showin up with force. But I'm sick of Weise getting owned in fights.

Maybe it worked for you in the AHL, but it doesn't up here.

[RangerBlues]

Good: Henrick with another shutout.
Bad: Did Chris Drury play tonight?
Redden: Injuries OH MY!

[ceej730]

the Good: Gabby finally back, McDonagh's consistent play, and Anisimov being a playmaker

The Bad: Fedotenko hurt....and Chris Drury

The Redden: none

[Ryan McDonut]

and why was lundqvist even a star? the leafs were in our zone?

[Wraparounds]

Check out the TOI in the top post. Some interesting times.

Player of the Game
Marian Gaborik, of course.

The Good
Lundqvist - Perfect game.
Anisimov - 4 assists.
Avery - 3 assists, looked on fire.
McDonagh & Eminger - Solid.

The Bad
The Leafs
Fedotenko - Getting hurt feels bad man.

The Redden
Chris Drury - In a blowout he still manages to look crappy.
