So the Leafs then had 59 and a half minutes to score and only did once without having to face Bergeron and you’re pinning that loss all on Andersen?
Are you guys really just afraid to criticize Matthews and co.? You know they’re probably not reading these boards right?
We'll probably all agree that a big save at the right moment is a huge momentum changer, right? We'll also probably agree that a goalie letting in a stinker at the wrong time can deflate a team, right?
Well, that's the problem this series. Whenever the leafs press hard and start gaining momentum, Rask is a wall. He's stopping breakaways and 2 on 1's left right and centre. Momentum changer. Then the Bruins skate up the ice and immediately score a weak goal on Andersen. Leafs become deflated. This has happened all series and it's why this is primarily Andersen's fault, more than anybody else.
In game 2, Andersen let in 3 of the Bruins first 4 shots. I mean... that's just ridiculous. Of course the leafs didn't put up much of a fight after that. I wouldn't either.
Then in game 4, a MUST win game for the leafs, Andersen let's in a bull**** goal in first 30 seconds on Bostons first ****ing shot. At that point, if I were playing for the leafs, I would simply go home. I would refuse to play in front of that horrible human being.
The ONE game where Andersen was at least solid (even though he let in a typical Andersen weak bull**** goal that game as well), the leafs actually won. Which just shows. If Andersen wasn't being a complete ****ing idiot all series, this would be MUCH closer than it currently is.
