Nope

 

[BTP]

No. Team just lacks any form of intensity.

They just look like they're ready for next season.

Marner looks suicidal every time they get scored on.

 

[Bomber0104]

So you're telling me Marincin isn't supposed to hang out on the hash marks leaving a guy alone in front of our net?!?

 

[The Beyonder]

I can't believe you actually had to make a poll about this. Anyone who's blaming him for those goals is clearly just taking any opportunity to lambast him. Neither were his fault. In fact, practically no NHL goalie would stop those.

 

[GlitchMarner]

As soon as I heard that guy was going to substitute for Malkin tonight, I knew he was going to score a goal or get a point or two. TOR didn't make it very hard for him to get on the board.

 

[StevenB]

He’s been weak since January asides from the Calgary game but please lmk if you think either of those goals were his fault so I can add you to my ignore list. There is no one of same mind that responds yes to this question

For a stay at home dman, Marincin definitely likes to travel a bit

 

[The Iceman]

Holl can't allow that cross crease pass to get through. Horrible awareness on that play.

And BOO for even mentioning it could be Andersen's fault either goal

I don't think he was at all. But after reading some of the nonsense in the GDT, I wanted to see badly the delusion was. Relieved to see it at 12 - 1 presently......maybe there is hope for us

 

[Hogan86]

No idea. Never even turned the game on tonight. Knew I would be disappointed if I did, and I was right.

Time to ship out some bodies and get some assets back. This team needs a re-tooling in the worst way.

 

[A1LeafNation]

You gonna start the 2nd period goals poll too?

Maybe the 3rd period as well...lol

 

[sxvnert]

This is what happens when a stat geek runs your hockey club. Coyotes...Panthers....Leafs. all destroyed.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Were they his fault, no. Could he have stopped both of them, yes.

 

[LeafGrief]

Hard to blame Freddy for the individual goals, but he really is a mess right now. He looks good until the first one goes in, average until the second one, then completely falls apart after the third. Considering just how atrocious our defense is (when did Justin Holl forget how to play hockey? Holy shit dude) those three are coming and we're getting embarrassed a lot.

I think the majority of this forum blames Andersen for this.

No point in arguing about it.

They always blame the goalie.

Nope just the 1st ......noticed your vote is missing. I wonder why?

 

[ACC1224]

Give the goalie a break. Last I saw he has saved over 2/3rds of the shots he’s faced tonight.

 

[egd27]

Were they his fault, no. Could he have stopped both of them, yes.

Should he have....in your opinion?

Shitty pole...you guessed it.

 

[egd27]

****ty pole...you guessed it.

maybe.......at least it provided some evidence that most posters don't have moronic opinions

Nah it was a premature poll.

.906 sv% is a problem...you need your starting goalie to make a save, fault or no fault.

It was based off reading some posts in the GDT......it was a very specific question to a very specific situation. I know that is difficult for many to grasp, but I think enough of them got it.

Not necessarily his fault but I wasn’t surprised the tip goal went 5 hole.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

He should have stopped the second 1. The tipped 1. People talk about deflections being hard to stop, they are only hard to stop when they change direction. This goal changed elevation not direction. It went through him. He's a butterfly goalie, the mechanics make you drop to a butterfly and if a shot is chest high you use both gloves to trap the puck to your body. If it gets tipped it needs to be tipped in a way that goes to the open sides of the net. Being tipped straight down is supposed to make the puck go either on top of your pads, or hit your pads and you either create a rebound or you jump on the rebound.
