No way, if you actually saw the game, was Gustavsson a dud.
Another fairly slow night as there were only three games on the docket. Without further ado I present...
The Studs...
3) Scotty's got "Hart"nell - Owners have been souring on Hartnell so far this year (*cough* b0ndon *cough*) but he rewarded those who were patient tonight. Scotty posted 2 goals, 1 assist, 2 shots, 3 hits, 1 powerplay point to go along with a +2 rating.
2) Markstrom's a Star! - Markstrom was the first star for the second straight game, backstopping the the Panthers to a 2-1 win against the Canadiens. He stopped 40 of 41 shots for a .976 save percentage.
1) Oh yeah... Moves like Jagr! - Jagr looked like his old self out there again tonight and almost singlehandedly beat the Leafs. He posted a wicked stat line of 2 goals, 1 assist, 6 shots, 1 powerplay point and a +2 rating.
Honorable Mention - Timonen and Giroux both had 2 assists and 1 powerplay point to go along with their +2 rating.
...and the Duds
3) Hab You Seen Yakupov? - The Habs lost yet another, extending their record to an ugly 1-5-2, good for last in the East (and second last in the League).
2) Maybe You Should Consider Being a Gardiner... - Jake Gardiner was for the most part a liability on the ice, which is unfortunate as he's looked great the past few games. He was a team worst -2 (one of only 3 Leafs to post a negative rating).
1) Monster Dud - Can't say I'm surprised, but a goalie named Jonas has made #1 Dud for the second straight night. In the place of an injured Reimer, the Monster allowed 4 goals on 30 shots for a not-so-monstrous save percentage of .867.
Honorable Mention - Mikhail Grabvoski for sidelining Pronger for the next 2-3 weeks, who I very much need in several fantasy leagues. Thanks a lot Grabo.
That's it for tonight! Apologies to all the Leafs fans who will undoubtedly be upset by me listing 2 Leafs as Duds

Lmao, thanks a lot Scott Hartnell for exploding two days after I call you out. I wonder if he has a dobber account or something. He almost had another assist on an empty netter but the puck was blocked.
Either way, I did hold onto him so HA I was one of the patient ones...just one of the whiny patient ones. That gives me some credibility right? Either way I'm still trying to trade him.

Great write up Dyz-bot~
Gardiner and Gustavsson both don't deserve to be duds. If any Leaf deserved it, It would be Liles or Komisarek for allowing Jagr in on 3 breakaways.
