Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Jets (Game 3 this week) Already

[CanadasTeam]

He's 4-1, 1 SO and a 0.923 SV. So he's been solid for us.

Damn.. nevertheless an interesting choice by Maurice. We hope he doesn't pull a Rittich on us tonight.

 

[AvroArrow]

If the Leafs come out with the same effort as the last 2, this game won't be close. Play hard and don't let up because Helly is out, bring that same effort and absolutely embarrass them tonight.

Is it me, or if you took Marner, removed 7/8 of his brain and threw a beard on him in 4 years.....

One has pupils like they're on cocaine.

 

[Carltons Cup]

I hope the boys don't underestimate Brossoit.

He's a very good backup goalie and I'd probably take him over Campbell....

 

[NikoEhlers]

I also think the Jets are playing better team D this season, better than they are given credit for anyways.

Yup, but from what I've seen this year they haven't taken a night off. Even the games they lost, the effort was respectable (except that first game vs Ottawa) Just start on time and pick up from where we left off, keep cycling it and keep the pressure up. I don't think its humanely possible for anyone to play better than Helly so I love our chances.

If Andersen is the second best goalie on the ice again when the Jets aren’t playing Hellebuyck again, there’s a major issue.

4-1, 1 SO and a 0.923 SV is the backup stats
Btw didn't the leafs win the last game so wasn't Andersen the best goalie on the ice that game?

Andersen had an .889 SV% the last game. They won despite of him.

Wins don’t mean shit when you’re constantly putting up sub .900 SV% games. See: Raycroft, Andrew.

I'll have to get an unbiased opinion, who was the 1st star of the game I forget.

I would agree they won in spite of him if he let in a bunch of bad goals, which he didn't. He did his part and made some good saves last game too. Single game sv% isn't a good determinant for performance

Some guy named Matthews
Edit. Matthews was good. Scored on both goalies

Same save % as Helle

 

[saltming]

Same save % as Helle

You're wrong! Hellebuck outplayed Andersen and lost
Funny how it can work that way for any goalie except ours

No he wasn't. Don't tell me you actually believe that.

Yes but the whole season is and his SV% is .902.

 

[zeke]

Yeah leafs can't expect it to be easy because brossoit ain't bad.... at the same time tho he's been used as a "true" backup this year against the easy opponents for the most part.

Vs. EDM/MTL: 2gms (1gs), .851sv%
Vs. CGY/VAN/OTT: 4gms (4gs), .948sv%

Helle lost because the Leafs outplayed the Jets and got rewarded for it. It wasn't because of Andersen. Anyways hopefully Freddy actually does his job today.

 

[Superstar]

No Hellebuyck tonight thank god.

Matthews probably broke Helle with that OT goal.

 

[NK94]

It’s the usual Andersen apologists that don’t want to acknowledge his current decline that’s in its second season, anyways.

They’re fighting so furiously over a guy with a .902 SV% on the season and a .906 SV% over the last two and I don’t understand why.

 

[NikoEhlers]

Helle was key in giving them a point, but save % is being used to drag Andersen after last game, when Helle got the same. You have to go through the goals and see what is going on.

 

[saltming]

No he wasn't. Don't tell me you actually believe that.

No I don't but I don't believe we won in spite of him as the post I replied to said. Fred did his job that game nothing more and certainly nothing less as the current popular narrative is spewing

Yes but the whole season is and his SV% is .902.

And I'm hoping by the end of the season he will be back to his normal sv%

Agreed and never once in any of my posts did I say we won because of Andersen, but he did his job last game and only bias would say otherwise.
I've said it before so I will say it again, a goalie can only keep you in a game,they can never win it for you

Exactly my good Niko!
Funny how I'm being challenged on just stating something simple and factual by some and being branded as having some sort of agenda.
Posts citing things I've never said.
Weird

It's projection

Leafs need to throw Helle off his game early like the Habs did last week (7-1 Habs).

Habs were lucky they didn't face 'Helle the Vezina' but more like Freddy 5-hole that night. They got a couple freebies and Jets let the game get away from them and couldn't recover from there:

1st goal - Puck bounce off zamboni door towards wide open net
2nd - Beauty snipe, top corner
3rd - Cross pass and shot through 5-hole
4th - Missed assignment, beauty pass, tip-in above glove side
-- Helle pulled --

I would rather Hyman Mathews and Marner in the first period than in the third period.
Let Joe filter into that line in the second period .
Helle won't be warned up yet..

Better yet just keep Hyman in the first line.
