Toronto Maple Leafs: Taking a Look At Jake Gardiner

Yet, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ fans are all over Jake Gardiner despite being one of 19 defenseman to reach 50 points this season. My question is, why is Gardiner hated so much?

Something that I personally do not understand is how fans use the “eye test” as if it is unbiased. Your eyes show you what you want to see, why else would we keep saying “this is our year” when the past Leafs teams were abysmal? Because we saw what we wanted to see, a successful Leafs team, while the rest of the league saw an embarrassment.
