Where do people get this myth that Holl is defensive >? He is an offensive first player (an average one at least) and below average defensively. Watch him play, he leaves Muzzin out to dry all the time and gets himself out of position or completely looks lost in his own zone. Anytime he feels pressure from an attacking opponent he folds like a cheap lawn chair.

He played a defensive roll when they came back and did it very well. You watch without seeing.

You see what you want to see. It doesn't matter who they have you will find a reason to hate them. That was the same problem with Gardiner. Yeah he's not great defensively. He's an offensive d. They take risks to get goals and sometimes it blows up in their face. I know it's a shock to you, but hockey is a team game. With the Leafs it's a team problem.

You just made a gardiner comment to someone who likes gardiner lol.

Yet you make the same mistake. Strange.

Re-watch Game 5...he had a Gardiner worthy game.
