Wow, yet another greedy bum on this doomed roster. All take, no give.

So I was just futzing around on Moneypuck today and decided to have a look at the league leaders in takeaways. Then I got curious where the top Canuck stacks up, and saw that it was Conor Garland. In a sense this is surprising, and in another sense it isn’t since we’ve all seen the dominance of Garland and his line this season. What did catch me by surprise was his ratio of giveaways to takeaways…an 11-1 ratio.
The next best ratios I could find in the top-50 were all roughly 2-1. While I don’t keep a close eye on this stat typically, I will say that I’ve never seen anything like this before. I therefore have two questions:
1. Have any of you seen a GA vs. TA performance like this? 2. Why on earth is nobody talking about this?!

Yeah Conor Garland is elite and I’m tired of pretending he isn’t.
If he had literally a league average shot he’d be a consistent 25-30 goal guy, but other than that his forechecking, possession game, and playmaking IQ are among the best on this team and frankly in the league. But because he doesn’t score as often as some people would like, or because he’s forever tied to the OEL trade I guess there’s sections of this fanbase that weirdly won’t give him credit for the fact that he’s one of the most effective and valuable players on the roster that is still underutilized playing primarily 5 on 5. Hope he sticks on PP1 for a spell because he looked great there yesterday.

Garland is so good. u/Garlandisworthadecentdraftpick

Close to Pavel Datsyuk numbers.

Man, are those numbers for real? For some reason I feel like Garland gives the puck away way more than that. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s fantastic, but I’m skeptical.

They were actively looking at trading him earlier in the season…go figure.

I’ve always felt he was solid, if his contract is a bit high. I liked him more than OEL. I would rather have taken just him in a different trade He’s the kinda guy you need out there to win. He’s a solid complementary piece. Good example to younger players. And fuck me, 43-4?! That’s some EA hockey shit right there hahaha. He’s not the Honey Badger, but he is fuckin’ Garly. Silent N in there

Gimme. Puck is Conner’s. No share.

Tell your wives what you can do with a short stick.

Ekman-Larsson was the other way around

The perfect Travis Green player lol. Jokes aside, he does everything ou want out of that type of player, you can tell he fucking wants it, and he takes every inch of his ceiling. Not something you can say of other NHL players a lot of the time. Reality is that he is what he is, but that’s a comfortable contract.
Will be interesting to see if he’s a trade piece just because he’s such a good one. I love him here, but he’s such a “hockey player” type guy, I could see it happening at the deadline whether I like it or not.

He’s great and a hard worker, but he still sold the penguins game
Rayfabolous

YouCanFucough
