At the time of his selection to the All-Star game, Freddy was pretty much the only reason the Leafs won games.

You're falling for that myth? Even before his struglles he still wasn't in the top 20 for save%

Freddy is the only goalie who can be called a Vezina candidate and superstar with average at best numbers.

the weakening of the the team by dubas in the off season is why they are where they are right now.

-beef?-

How are the Leafs weaker exactly? Were ther better with Holl scartched for 70 games and useless Marleau getting top minutes?>

Here is a little tid bit about Robertson. If he was born a few days later he would be in this up coming draft and not last years. Youngest player picked i think, not even a month older then Lafrenière. With the numbers and his play this year, scouts are now saying he could be top five if he went this year.
Dubas got a steal in the 2nd round last year. He picked a younger kid with potential and not just by the numbers and it looks like it will pan out. Think of a Gaudreau/Gallagher hybred if this kid pans out imo.

The last 2 top picks for the Leafs by Dubas look absolutely brillient. He got a very good 1st rounderr in the 2nd round in Robertson.

I'm not going to say Freddie hasn't struggled recently. But I disagree with your statement. Numbers aren't everything. The guy that just won the mid-season Vezina award is 20th in the league in Save Percentage and has a 2.74 GAA.

John Gibson is widely considered one of the best goalies in the league and has a .906 Save Percentage and a GAA around 3.

Team defence matters, high danger scoring chances matter, etc

I was listening to Sirius at the all-star game and they discussed the Leafs. They basically said Leafs are in big trouble because they only winb when the goalie bails them out.
This myth won't die. Ridficulous.
- RogerRoeper

They only win when the play some defense and help the goaler out, just like every other team in the league.

Gibson though in fairness puts up elite numbers every year. Freddy never has.

It's odd that their career numbers are so similar then.

Funny thing is though that if you look at career games for Anaheim:
- Gibson has played 26 playoff games with a .912 SV% and 2.80 GAA
- while Freddy has played 28 playoff games with a .916 and 2.34 GAA

stats and math sure are funny; they seldom lie...

Is it just me kr does anyone else find the streaking puck enhancement thing annoying to the point it makes hockey UNWATCHABLE.

We were yelling at the TV last night.

P.S. 20 minutes of 3 on 3 ends up as a 2-1 final?

WTF?

Gibson has been better than Freddy the past 3 years. Those stats don't lie.

Roger, do me a favour and (frank) off, ok?

Your shtick wore thin months ago. Shoo.

I think someone threw La Chèvre a bone. He was in a commercial with Rielly and Hyman.

It's 10:45 and Santo isn't fighting with anyone yet. I expect peace in the middle-east is not far off.

Roger is just an over the top homer... nowhere near a Santo-level disaster.

Yep. With Andersen, he's been off lately, but overall during his time as a Leaf there's a simple way to tell he's stood on his head and been their MVP. Watch the games.

He did it for $17.43, came in just under Krapisucko's $18.00 bid.
