You have to also look at the teams. Andersen outperformed Fluery last year easily on a far far worse defensive team. Yes Fluery from a couple years ago is a better goalie....but it isn't a couple years ago. I just don't think there is anyway that in the scenario that the Leafs replace Andersen with Fluery that things turn out as good.
That's not the point. I literally said I'd rather have Pickard over mchilenny.
So you are only looking at this year? Sample size is too small.
Yes he is. He's 48th in save percentage this season among goalies with 4+ starts.(eliminate miniscule playing time)You also said Mcbackup was an NHL average backup which is just not the case
no I am looking at the vast majority of his career which other than last season, has been by NHL standards garbage, he has now reverted back to that
Here we go. Guy posts in a thread that upsets him just to hear himself talk.Here we go. Leafs player had a good game. Must be one of the best in the NHL.

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.
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.
umm
early in the season many leaf fans were calling him the worst goalie ever.
this is why you don't jump the gun.
So you think Peter Budaj is a #1 goalie?
He's got a valid point.
It's unreal how many people were crapping all over Andersen a few weeks ago, I clearly remember some leaf fan with the DBZ avatar calling him the worst goalie in the league.
My favourite part is the OP at least posted a valid sample size and smartasses in here do the "Oh he had a good game" shtick.
I get it. We aren't the internet darlings, the Hurricanes. Don't be mad when we post something positive. "But, but we see it too much." Well then get more than 20 fans and maybe you'll have more threads about your team when something nice happens.

Give it time. I'm sure they'll change their minds againHe's got a valid point.

14 games is “valid sample size”?
The rest of your post is like just about everything else Leafs related on this board; cringe.
