How many seasons has he been in the league and he still can't defend a 2-on-1.
I was hoping Dubas would get some value for him while it's still there but Reilly's injury probably shot that idea.
He defended Coleman decently well on the 2-on-1 given the position he was in. Coleman is not a slow skater and he had quite a few strides on a non-fresh Barrie at the time, but Barrie still made him have to pull off a tough backhand.
My concern with that play was the poor shot selection by Barrie that put him in that poor defensive position, and the fact that Andersen made that shot look a lot more deadly than it should have been. It was probably the best shot/goal he let in that game, but that just shows you how shaky he was. The other three, you could maybe argue one of them could have gone in, but all three is really bad.
