Bruins load management of Rask last year likely a main reason they ended up in the Stanley Cup final and also a factor in why Leafs were out in round #1.
Boston did exactly for Rask what I'm suggesting Leafs might need to emulate for Freddy if they have playoff ambitions beyond round #1 and to manage how much Andersen has left and is fresh when the playoffs begin.
Systemically it means playing your backup more in the regular season.
The Bruins last year and Washington the year before have a few things in common:
Their vet goalies struggled in the season they went to the cup.
Management had a backup in place to take on the load .
Boston's planning for this by signing Halak looks genius in retrospect. Rask was their MVP in the playoffs last year imo.
Currently TB 's third goalie is better / more proven than our 2nd. Halak was great in his first start already.
This is on Dubas if they believe in load management.
I personally think the sport science group has info that is essential to this decision.
Either way, its our most obvious hole, we should at least have a 3rd goalie in the mix if they've learnt anything from last year!
