GDT: Maple Leafs (31-21-8) @ Penguins (36-15-6) | 7:00 PM EST | SN, NBCSN

[IPS]

HDSV% 2019/2020

Johnathon Bernier : 84.66

Mackenzie Blackwood : 83.33

Sergei Bobrovsky : 81.22

Craig Anderson: 76.22

Frederik Andersen: 76.88

Those are the starting goalies on the teams with worse GA than us and 3/4 of them have been far better than Freddy. Freddy's November is keeping him from being the worst. You have to be in complete denial if you don't think goaltending hasn't been a major issue.

 

[Suntouchable13]

If Leafs lose again tonight and allow 3+ goals, I am going with JC the next game. If he wins that game, I will go with him every game till he loses.

 

[Coachcorner]

We might crumble Jarry unda presha tonight because he's starting hard against us. If he ain't playing a fine game now, since he ain't playing-a-lot lately, he might crumble under presha.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Yup, those were the lines at morning skate today, and it's apparently Marincin's birthday today. Keefe being a player's coach and all.

I think it’s more about the PK then anything. Pittsburgh’s is absolutely lethal.

 

[X66]

Hey looks guys, it's the Maple Leafs multi-nominated MVP according to some here. 57th overall in Even Strength SV% since Jan 6th. Where would we be this year with goalies that gave us a chance?

This is exactly why I say that people shouldn't be putting blame on certain people as much as they should on the goaltending.

Now, I'm not saying the Leafs are the Devils Dynasty teams when it comes to defence, but it isn't their defence that is leading to these save percentages.

How many games could you honestly say since that time that Andersen was the better goalie in the game?

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Not sure I agree with the player deployment by Keefe here.

 

[Nooodles]

So it's Marincins birthday, maybe that's why he gets a chance.

Maybe there's more to it... like Freddie has been hurting from something else a lot of the season, but that's not great.

Big fan of Andy, but he needs to turn his game around here a bit... Leafs need to go on a big run.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Everyone cares about Marincin but to me Gauthier on the 3rd line is a far bigger problem. I can't believe that's the plan to get offense from the 3rd line, he's probably the least offensively skilled guy in the lineup (him or Clifford)

I only remember him being the better goalie for a few weeks back in November 2019. It's a shame we've had one of our better rosters this year but goaltending has been a big let down, and injuries have only made everything look worse.

Yeah that's a disgusting 3rd line honestly, but offensive guys on the Marlies like Petan and Aberg haven't proven to be reliable up here so what can we do until we get healthy

 

[MattySnipes]

Is there a stat that adjusts for High Danger chances?

I feel like it's a lot easier to be be a .920 goalie on certain other teams.

Stats are 5v5.

Look at his giveaways too.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Wish Cambell, the more deserving goaltender, got the start tonight against the Pens.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

If Leafs lose again tonight and allow 3+ goals, I am going with JC the next game. If he wins that game, I will go with him every game till he loses.

Keefe won't wait long tonight. If Freddy is not ready and lets in a softie asap then he will get pulled.

That shows everything, yeah our defense sucks but it’s not worse than Florida, Jersey or Detroit. Yet our goaltending is easily the worst looking at that list.....

 

[AvroArrow]

Why is Marincin playing. HOW does he still have a JOB. If anyone else, in any other profession in the world was that incompetent they would've lost their job ages ago.
Maybe he'll play better because it's his birthday but not hopeful with Andersen in net/Marincin on the blue line.

Yay for 10 game sample sizes to paint a bad picture..

Have to agree, swap Gauthier with Spezza.

 

[MattySnipes]

Well ofcourse there had to be one person to use the "sample size" remark.

This just speaks from Jan 6th. Fred's issues go way back before then. Just because team won him some games in December doesn't mean he was his usual self. Team was supporting him with 4-7 goals. Now that offense has dried up a bit he can't make timely saves worth a damn.

 

[DarkKnight]

Gauthier on the third line is embarrassing. I like him on the fifth line.

Guaranteed Fred's numbers improve dramatically before January 6. In the two games prior he had a .938 and a .963 save percentage.

At the same time, I'd agree he's been poor this season.

 

[Coachcorner]

Y'all is talking like Andersen is done..... mayne he a long way from that sires and sirettes. Tonight y'all gon witness that again and again. Y'all have forgotten pretty fast how great andy is. Mayne that one tough cookie. He can win games big tyme(!) When he decides to bring it, its trump huge. He got game like spike lee do. And I ain't forgetting that there. He a reason and there's a reason he been our number one for years. Saving our rear ends and poorly managed Defense and corps. He like the corpral of all for us still. What!

 

[Kiwi]

This would be a good night to turn up and put in a full 60 minute effort because if we don't were going to get hammered

Man do we need to start sorting things out, asap

Imagine if Florida wasn’t tanking hard.

For the most part, we have crappy fans.

Some of the worst, in all of sport.
