[bobermay]

the highest win % is crawford at .566 not dryden

Edit: Misread your post.

Would be interested in seeing stat on all goaltenders > 100GP though.

That that thang y'all been wathing lately. Andersen shutting out everybody and everyone of y'all. He been getting that puck hard and keeping it real. Glued. He not vacuuming anything in. He just playing real and solid and looking at things. His eyes are gluued on the small black puck. Didn't see any Andersen appreciation threads so I had to create one. This one for y'all.

Why don't you speak english?

 

[MJ65]

I hope he can continue that streak as long as he can, but honestly all we want from him is to keep us in the game by not allowing any softies

 

[Man Bear Pig]

In bird culture this is considered a dick move.

 

[Ratboy]

Octobersen has left the building.

Relax everyone, even Hughson with all his Leafs hate couldn't stop it.

I cracked up when Hughson mentioned that the Habs had a better record than the Leafs did over the last 10 games.

He'll say ANYTHING to discredit the Leafs. It's too blatant.

 

[Bagge]

I bet Coachcorner=Devan Dubnyk.

 

[Damisoph]

Senor, for f*** sake...

Andersen's record as a Leaf in 84GP (84 starts): 45-22-14
Andersen's record in his career in 209GP (198 starts): 122-48-26

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

I've always been a supporter of Freddie. Just don't understand some folks. The same folks that say Freddie sucks, say the Leafs have the worse defence in the league. Well he it can't be both can it?

 

[Trapper]

Some might like him and some might not. Every goalie and player goes through periods during the year where they hit a skid.
What Andersen has done is bring us something that has been lacking for some time: stability. When you have a team of young guys learning, having that stability gives you the mindset of bring able to win every night. If they support their goalie as a team, that stability will be returned from Andy.

It's bac luck to
Don't worry guys, it's going to be OK.

Based on his play since arriving in town, I think it's fair to say that he's a legit #1 goalie. Not a top end one but legit nevertheless. Now consider that there are some teams that don't even have a legit #1, never mind a good one. Then further consider how long it's been since we've had a legit #1. So all things considered, I'm thrilled with what Freddie has brought. I've always liked his attitude and demeanour and think he still has upside too, he could be a top 10 starter in the league yet. Most importantly though, I could see us winning the cup with him in net and maybe even more than one.

What makes a top end goaltender?

SV%, GAA or Wins?


If you're discussing Wins, Andersen either has horseshoes up his behind or he is elite at pulling off wins.

 

[Anthrax442]

Took Carey price a few seasons to become "elite". Andy might not be as efficient as Price, but so far he has done a pretty good damn job.
