Well, then, I think its obvious that the Leafs need a good enough goalie who can keep the goals out -- and if it's not exactly a shutout who can actually score a few on his own to help the skaters up front.He's played in 4 game 7's. 5 deciding games.
In deciding games
Leafs have scored 2 goals, 1 goal, 2 goals, 4 goals, 1 goal.
In those games, were Matthews, Marner, Rielly, Nylander, Hyman, Dermott have also lost...
We may need Andersen to be better, but let's not pretend this is just a Andersen issue. We scored enough goals to win a game, in ONE of FIVE games. Nobody played well enough. Nobody should really be trusted to be game seven players, until they prove they are. If Campbell can get back to his streak form, I'm more than happy to go with him. If Andersen comes back, is injury free, and at peak Andersen levels, I'm happy to go with him. I don't really care, as long as that is the best goalie, right then. Heck, it could be Rittich, or Hutch for all I care....
But the whole team needs to be better than they have been. That's my point.
Then the Leafs would win for sure.
Maybe Andersen should get a bigger paddle to practice a 200' slapshot with a little movement on it at the end, to help even the score if he let's one or two in.
