outside of the top 10 in both save% and gaa (tops in wins, but he plays way more than any other goalie) and his team is outside of a playoff position...........

am I missing something? you'd think an "all world" goalie could take the "greatest team assembled in the cap era" to at least a playoff berth

Yet Leaf fans daily hear from other team's fans that Andersen carries them on his back and he's amazing.

The "Hype" of Andersen comes a lot from non Toronto fans and media.

And who cares about outisde of a playoff spot? It's the only time they've been outside the playoffs in his 4 years on the team and they are 1 point out.

Andersen is never the best of the best, but he might be one of the most consistent. Over a season he pretty much ends up the same place

I saw this stat the other day

Since 2013-14 - Frederik Andersen's rookie season - he ranks 2nd in amongst all NHL goalies in GSAx according to Evolving-Hockey (+55.39).

The only goalie ahead of him is John Gibson - his battery mate in ANA - at +93.82... which is crazily high.

Well, only Hasek, Roy and Brodeur are in the Hasek, Roy, Brodeur category.

I don't expect a huge turnaround on the rest of this trip. They may win 1 of 3, but the porous defense and the lack of physicality will continue their spotty play.

From season to season he's a 918-919 goalie. Can't complain. He's a consistent, solid top 10 goalie.

He has to do it in the playoffs to be considered better by me. He has not been good thus far come playoff time. He also tends to have 1-2 long stretches of very poor play every season.

4 pts (and the teams they're chasing have games in hand) but why let little things like facts get in your way.

there are a few goalies in the current NHL I'd pick over Andersen as my starter though..
- MaximusAurelius

I'm sure Georgiev is one of them

I inject the Kool Aid into my ickdae, but I'm not some kind of sick maniac like Roeper.

He did convince me about Babcock though. He ground me down with his relentless, hammering and obsessive campaign.

i think he's rattled that nylander can grow a better beard than him.

and mind-(frank)ed that he is intimated by nylander's square jaw-line.

1 point. You are only looking at the WC. They are 1 point from 3rd in Atlantic. 2 points from 2nd in Atlantic.

It actually gets smaller, but faster and more skilled.

I was right all along. It's funny how Keefe is doing everything I said needed to be done.

Trade Matthews and Marner for Picks. They just can't compete with the Sabres.
