Nope.
But well done to him.
what a wonderful reward for mcback up
going to the worlds to back up

A 'like' seems insufficient here. Very well said.
Still think we need a playoff support upgrade. A D and a forward (or 2) who do a better job of being strong on the puck to support the core. To many times Boston was able to get and keep the forecheck and attack pressure. At times our stars were one and done. Shutting down the cycle and keeping the pressure in the zone is paramount in the playoffs. You have to leave the perimeter at times.4th C is done IMO
Aalt/Gauth will be good enough.
even then we have a "back up 4thc" with one in the ahl and a top 9 C "fill in" with willi
so to say "depth" i'd say we are fine
we just need to pick up 1 top 9 c starter or convert willi
maybe offer gards to edm and see what rhsD they have.
playoff support upgrade???? non issue i believe age/time is all that is needed here.

Just got beat by a team who loads up one line, forgive us for thinking it may work in Toronto.
you should look at some of the goals Toronto scored againNo, we got beat by a team that has a competent defense.
Boston's team defense is what made them a favorite to begin with, you can't look at it now and say they don't have competent defenders.you should look at some of the goals Toronto scored again
but you can't say our defense was incompetent due to letting in more goals. Andersen was letting in brutal softies every gameBoston's team defense is what made them a favorite to begin with, you can't look at it now and say they don't have competent defenders.
Time for you to pack up the negativity and move on. You mostly have good posts and opinions but you've been on a tangent here lately. Huge agenda on Andersen.but you can't say our defense was incompetent due to letting in more goals. Andersen was letting in brutal softies every game
it's not an agenda. the guy isn't very good and he blew it in the playoffs. I would much rather be wrong and in the second round, but I wasn't.Time for you to pack up the negativity and move on.

Going into this series everybody know Boston was the better team. They have higher caliber star players and better D. The fact we took them to game 7's final period was quite a feat, especially after getting hammered in the first 2 games.

If we get defenders who are good enough defensively they can help Andy look way better and give him an easier time. We know he's shown he's capable of very high end goaltending throughout the season. He just needs more help which was painfully obvious in this series. He was bad in some games but his defense didn't help him either at other times.but you can't say our defense was incompetent due to letting in more goals.

Andersen is inconsistent which is he's biggest issue. His high points are great and his low points are not great. He has to figure that out, but I feel like as we get a better group in front of him he will look better and better. Like Daisy said, there were some goals he probably should have stopped, but that could likely be said for every goalie on every team eventually. Those good shot locations need to be minimized to help him out.it's not an agenda. the guy isn't very good and he blew it in the playoffs. I would much rather be wrong and in the second round, but I wasn't.

Pending #Leafs UFA Tyler Bozak on his future: "It would be my top priority to stay here. My family loves it here, my kid loves it here, he thinks he owns the place. It’ll be tough on him if I’m not back."
Its a pretty terrible UFA crop if we're looking to keep costs under 6M/yr. My first choice would be Willy to C, but I don't see it happening, so I expect Bozak back. Basically looks like Bozak or Riley Nash if you want a middle 6 C since Filppula hates Babs.As much as I'd like to move on from him, it may be difficult to get both a #3 and #4 C. Not sold on Goat, and who knows if Aaltonen will cut it
