Oh gee, another "lets call out those posters who made a wrong prediction about a player" thread. Lots of insecurity going on around here.
Well, people were over reacting. Last year I got the trepidation, but after last year to listen to the bull in October was sad, really sad. So fickle.Oh gee, another "lets call out those posters who made a wrong prediction about a player" thread. Lots of insecurity going on around here.
Might be best goalie Leafs ever had! Look at all those shots/saves this year.. That is coming from huge Cujo fan and admitting it!
Slow starter but Freddy has been awesome, well worth the price paid, Sam Steel or not.

Yes, the only missing thing! I have confidence in him and like him to break records.Well then let's see a Cujo playoffs then.
That would be funny if true. I made no predictions at all. I'm secure enough to not need constant validation, no matter what I or anyone else opine.

This is why stats make people look dumb sometimes. The best tenders pull it together and make big time stops when it counts the most. Stats, just toss them out the window. Who cares.
we should be able to track big saves. what do you mean exactly - like late saves that protect a late lead?
It's so hard to determine Zeke. To my eye, Freddy is our MVP by a long shot. It's not even close who the best player on our team is this season. We essentially traded out best player for our new best player and I am ok with that (Kessel)
freddy's been damn good. but if he played anywhere else there would be no vezina or mvp talk.
especially since we win when the backup plays too.

If anything, the Leafs' defensive style makes Freddy's numbers look better, not worse.
McElhinney's, too.
Zeke is about as far from a troll as you can get.Again, with these statements you're making a case for trollposter #1
That's not what he is saying at all, which would be quite obvious if you tried to actually understand his point. He's saying that the market breeds hype, and the Vezina is a hype-driven award.So you're basically saying that Toronto has the best defense in the league...
Not necessarily. Goaltending stats, outside of the purely team-based ones, don't get better or worse due to how offensive a team is. The determining factor is the average quality of the shot against. Toronto allows a high proportion of low danger shots, which means the tender is likely to have better stats.You dont think Andersens stats would be better if he played in Nashville, Boston, LA, St. Louis, etc.
