Minnetonka vs. Edina January 23rd, 7:00

[Gov78]

Tonka 3-1 after one period.

[karl(east)]

3-1 after 1.

Edina's forwards look very strong; the defense, on the other hand, has had a few breakdowns. That PP was a disaster in every possible way, too.

Gardiner's looking pretty good his first game, and Kruger's made a few important saves to keep Tonka on top.

[Gov78]

Tonka 7-1 after 2 periods

Edina D can't handle the Tonka forwards in deep.

Looks like one team in particular will be staring at the cake thru the window, and not eating it, eh??

[starmvp]

Wow, what a night for Tonka they were on fire. They were skating circles around Edina. Edina's penalties didn't help them at all...

Dead on BB - Impressive!

Looks like Karl forgot to have his "don't take penalties against Tonka" talk with Giles, or Giles, like the youngsters from Duluth East, just didn't listen. What a season the Skippers are having. Big test this week v. Wayzata.

[Spooge]

Yet he is still worth two goals over Edina?

Ummm, maybe read the next sentence.

Yea...you said Tonka 4-1 if he plays, 2-1 if he doesn't.

I didn't see the game, but can anyone confirm if Gardiner might have contributed on 2 or more of Tonka's goals.

[blueblood]

gardiner played a handful of shifts.

He scored the first goal on the pp.

He played a shorthanded shift and assisted on holl's first goal

Saw a few more shifts on PP in first

Once the game was decided in the second, he saw limited action.

Not sure if he even saw the ice in the third...

[starmvp]

Smart decision by coach not playing him in third, can't risk the re-injure.

Here's the facts...

Gardiner means more than just the stats he puts up as when he plays it opens up his linemates (Coatta & Frawley) and allows Shutt to move back to center the 2nd line and then they can skate with pretty much any first line in the state.

With Armstrong up next I expect Gardiner to skate little as they shouldn't need him so that's another week to get up to full speed.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly but I didn't communicate it as well.
