Having you agree is a scary thought and makes me second guess myself

That being said.. he hasn't been awful. Just needs to be better. And he can and he will. I'm hoping he's a slow starter.. a lot of goalies are. Plus the injury. Don't write him off yet. Patience. we have him for 5 years so we might as well give him the chance.

i assume shots that miss the net do not count towards the percentage.

No, but Fenwick counts them.

Really deflating. Leafs playing better than Tampa and are losing 2-0.

Or maybe Carrick doesn't leave Stammer behind him until the pucks out.


But the 2nd goal was pathetic

- Garnie



poopty defense happens to every. single. team at one point or another. It's up to the goalie to bail them out and Andersen has failed at that 9 times out of 10. That's my issue.

I don't blame Andersen one bit on that (first) goal but you guys are ridiculous. Our defense isn't any worse than it has been the past 5 years. For some reason this is the year it's not the goalies fault? Reimer sucks for two years then Bernier sucks for two years, now we have a goaler who has worse starts (so far), but hey.. now it'd the D?

For the record, Andersen is the best of the three, no doubt. And he will get better But so far this season... Not fantastic..

- UsernameUnknown



lets take a look at these three goalies.

Reimer had decent stats playing in toronto __ traded to an jose was even better (better defensive team)
Bernier came from LA (Incredibly better defensive team) had awesome stats -- came to toronto you know the rest

now we have andersen came from the ducks (good defensive team) his stats were decent -- came here you know the rest


when three top tier goalies cant make the save the next logical place to lay blame has to be defense

These middle of the week games at the ACC are embarrassing as a fan of the team.

Usually leafs come out flat, other team is pumped to play in Toronto.

and then this happens

They're a tad cross check happy but mostly borderline stuff. Refs aren't blowing any calls IMO. They forecheck hard and skate quick. I'm a tad envious.

Just got in, saw the replay.

I'm probably too easy on goalies (I think it's the toughest position to play in sports), but Andersen needs to be better.
