[1specter]

So psychopaths like Quick and Rask lose their minds all the time yet Andersen gets repeatedly run and now gets fined for this?

what a joke

??? Bananas

 

[MR4]

Lol the holding should be a penalty but what a f***ing joke to fine him

 

[Daisy Jane]

well i could see why they'd think that.
but considering what other goalies do all the time...

whatever. don't dive Andy.

 

[Morgs]

Meh. I don't mind it.

I just hope that they start calling it a lot more often to get rid of it completely.

 

[La Masse]

Its kinda ridiculous to say the least. Goaltenders aren’t protected like QB’s in football and have to take alot of punishement

 

[613Leafer]

I mean... there was contact and he just looked like he lost his balance. He didn't throw himself to the ice, he caught himself on the net and stayed in the play.

Pretty weak.

 

[ACC1224]

He can afford it.

...

Andersen got fined for eating Becel margarine!? WHAT!?? ... Oh, wait. It's just an ad on the youtube video. Give me a moment... dang it, now I've completely re-gained my composure. I'll need a second to get hysterical again.

[one second later]

Andersen got fined for that!? WHAT!??

 

[1specter]

He can afford it.

It's not really the money but more so the principle. It's weird that Andersen gets targeted for this while a guy like Quick goes out and blatantly tries to trip and slash players, throws hissy fits all the time etc with no repercussions of any kind.

 

[saltming]

Huh. Looks to me like there is contact with his left skate as he's backing up. If the timing was as he was putting his weight on that leg it would be a perfect trip.
Either way lame to call that a dive.

 

[Bullseye]

Refs prolly sent it in as payback for the criticism - jerks.

Is the there a video link someone can post - not that my opinion means anything to the referee with his Leaf loss stat to maintain.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Hope he dives more. He gets run all the time and never gets the call. Maybe he can turn the diving into whining after every whistle like every other goalie

The video is in the 1st post

oops plus it's the wrong game - duh

 

[Bullseye]

Maybe this partially explains the non-call in the Tampa game. Refs not taking any contact with Andersen as legit? Who knows.

 

[PromisedLand]

f*** the NHL. f***ing calling Freddie a diver meanwhile blatant penalties against opposition not called when Leafs are playing.

I hope MLSE tell NHL to F right off when it comes to revenue sharing. If NHL is not going to be fair; MLSE does not have to

bu t it still fits. they weren't going to fine him then babcock said something and it's like BOOM.

He's probably had a bunch of warnings, they wouldn't fine you for your first offence.
This was for embellishment, what Quick does are penalties.

 

[al secord]

He embellishes quite a bit. I doubt this deters him.

 

[saltming]

oops plus it's the wrong game - duh

 

[Mugzy97]

Could be looked at as a dive. Could be looked at as Freddie trying to avoid contact and hopping out of the way. Seems like the league is nitpicking on this one.

 

[nsleaf]

**** the NHL. ****ing calling Freddie a diver meanwhile blatant penalties against opposition not called when Leafs are playing.

If the league is out to get the leafs then why even be a fan? They will never win with those cards stacked against them.
