Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Habs

[Gary Nylund]

The issue with Andersen isn’t his save % but his knack for letting in the back breaking goal.

And your point is?

The issue with Andersen isn’t his save % but his knack for letting in the back breaking goal.

When he’s on his game though, he’s a top 10 goaltender. Wasn’t long ago he was 4th in Vezina voting, so if he’s figured out whatever it was that’s been bothering him the past two seasons than you kinda have to give him the opportunity.

I want Sandin to go end-to-end, and than destroy Weber in the corner.
I just want it.

I like the way you think but Sandin still Sandin and Weber still Weber

It won't end too well for Sandin

 

[egd27]

I wonder who thought that was a good idea?

My guess is that the Van-Ott is starting at 5:30 (for some bizarre reason) so they wanted to hold off starting the Leafs game until it was over.

That makes sense

 

[ACC1224]

Seriously?

 

[Wafflewhipper]

It was pretty clear Andersen was never starting. Why are people asking?

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Criticizing - understandable.
Hoping he's done - not rational as we're not exactly set in goal.

They are mad the skaters in last years playins got shutout for almost three of the five games and Andersen wasn’t perfect. So they bypass that and never touch it with a 10 foot pole and slam up numbers from this year of a struggling injured goalie.

Really,It’s so greasy

 

[harvestglen]

It's any combination of our points plus points lost for either Vancouver or Montreal that equals to 5.
Actually it's 4 as the users in the magic number thread explained the tie breaker scenarios. Basically a win and a Vancouver loss in regulation would pretty much seal it.

Basically they clinch with any 4 points they accrue themselves OR in the event of a regulation win against MTL/regulation loss for VAN tonight. 5 points for other scenarios.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Please no more Playoff Freddy. I hope he stays injured. if Freddy plays 1st round... There's almost no point in watching he just finds ways to lose when it matters. I have had his back since day 1 against all the haters, after this season and now that he's UFA. enough is enough. pass the reigns to Campbell and see how it goes.

He's UFA. Most of us have moved on. I have seen enough Elimination Games to warrant not wanting to see him in net again. not like he has been good last 2 seasons either.
and when was the last time Freddy started off good? He's never good in October. he gets gong usually after a Month. how do you think he's going to be coming in cold for the playoffs? sounds like a great plan to just lay down and die in the playoffs

 

[Petrus]

If Sandin performs well these last remaining games, would any of you guys be comfortable with letting Rielly go (via UFA or Trade) next year, given our cap constraints?

Trade sure, UFA dumb.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Seriously?

Yes.

 

[Petrus]

Trade sure, UFA dumb.

I put this in the wrong thread! Sorry.

 

[Leaftors]

 

[BertCorbeau]

Interesting .. He can be LTIR'd for personal reasons?

Guess this will keep Caufield on the roster.

 

[Rude Dog]

I heard Greg Miller the other day on the radio. I forgot just how glorious it is not hearing him call Sportsnet leaf games anymore.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Whatever it is I hope Drouin and/or loved ones are doing okay, I wish them well.

It's surprising to me how not a lot of people seem to get this.

Yeah, just like Wheeler

 

[zeke]

Criticizing - understandable.

"Worried that he'll be treated as the undisputed #1 despite his play over the last 2 seasons" is also a reasonable concern and not scapegoating.

 

[Oscar Peterson]

The issue with Andersen isn’t his save % but his knack for letting in the back breaking goal.

Yep. His mental game is a far greater concern to me than his groin/knee injury ever were.

 

[zeke]

The saddest part about this is that this is good news for the Habs on the ice, not bad.
