Who said he wasn't? Anyone who hasn't clearly hasn't watched him. He was also money in the playoffs last year.

He's not a top-10 goalie in the NHL, quite easily not. He's an average starting goalie and that's all the Leafs need, I don't know why we can't just leave it at that.

He's a historically slow starter. .896 SV% in October this year, and an .876 SV% in October last year.

Career .918 is a bit better than the .910 avg
Here we go. Leafs player had a good game. Must be one of the best in the NHL.

There are quite a few top 10 goalies then.
It isn't bad to be an averge NHL goalie. Even a poor NHL goalie is damn good.

Except he's not average. Leads the league in shutouts. Top 10 in the NHL in SV% after tonight's game. 3rd in wins. How's he average?

Sounds like what I heard about Price earlier this season. See how that works?

Yes he is top 10.
Or at least 7-12 range depending on the week.
He's incredible.

He's incredible.
That's just a small percentage of leafs fans that want to toss him to the wayside.
90% of leafs fans knew he'd come around and be his normal above average self.
because he has near elite numbers right now that's why he is well above average

It’s almost like different people have different opinions
Correction the starting goalie issue is solved the fact remains if he goes down this team is VERY VERY f***ed because the backup situation isn't good enough

Because there are about 10-12 goalies better than him in the NHL? Off the top of my head, I'd say Rask, Crawford, Bobrovsky, Talbot, Dubnyk, Price, Schneider, Lundqvist, Murray, Holtby, Quick and Fleury are better than Andersen. That puts him at around 13, which I think most people would say is fair for Andersen.
Saying Andersen is average isn't an insult, he's a good starting goalie and he's definitely someone you can win with. Would it be better if I said above average? Because I have him in the 10-15 range, I think him and Fleury are very comparable.

I mean if we could just bench him in October every year and let him play November onwards that would be idealI thought you guys hated him?

The bolded are nopes (Lundqvist career-wise is obviously way better), and I'd say that Quick and Dubnyk are debatable
Why can't this be true?
He was AWFUL to start the year and now he's God tier, the true Andy likely lies in between which is a solid top 10 goalie.
I don't think any of us expect him to continue 944+, if we can just get him some more goals, his margin of error would be greater.

I have a really tough time imagining how you'd argue that Andersen is better than Crawford, Talbot or Lundqvist, and I think Fleury and Andersen are very comparable.
Fleury, Andersen, Luongo, Jones, Rinne...I think you can put all of these guys in any order in the 10-15 range and have it be correct.
