Not everyone thinks he’s wrong about Andy

*runs*
- Garnie

The team is absolutely hanging him out to dry a lot but Freddy for sure isn't playing up to his capabilities.

Trade Barrie back to the Avs for Timmins

LOL at whining about Andersen "Haters". Andersen has had his ass kissed non-stop in Toronto and been given credit for every win the past 4 years.

Leafs are 31st in goaltending #'s since Jan 1st. But Auston Matthews is the issue? LOL. He leads the NHL in 5 on 5 goals and overall goals.
- RogerRoeper

You’re a putz, every normal person I read says Matthews is a beast...but you keep pretending so it makes you feel smarter?

I'd like to present you
Skinner, Jeff
Okposo, Kyle

15 Mil for 18 goals and 34 points



Sabres will trade you their overpaid players for your overpaid players.

Yikes... that’s brutal...

I ignore lots of #’s, especially after everyone went Corsi Crazy
- Garnie

One of my very first comments about the whole Corsi rage

Goaltending >>>> Corsi

Seems like the more I pay attention to Advanced stats based on shot metrics, the more true that statement becomes.

I think I can sum up the state of Leaf land and this thread:

“It’s a mad house! A mad house!” Heston

Barkov is considered an elite top NHL star.
- RogerRoeper

So is Matthews

So?

I am a genius.

- GreatGigInTheSky

Agreed. The only thing that has changed over teh last 2 years is Freddy. We have always given up lots of chances. When Freddy is hot we win. When he is not you get what we currently have...

The problem is our team defence, on ice awareness, etc. Hopefully Freddy will turn it around soon because I am not convinced this current group can play defence...

I am a genius.

Congratulations

Have you figured out how to solve this teams problems? Please, do tell!

Trading for Maximum Veronneau was my first instinct.

Who did't call that? 63 points is his career high. He suddenly has a career year in a contract year. William Nylander has better stats and Dubas got destroyed for that contract at 6.9. LOL.

Different set of rules for the Leafs.

Ya we all knew...so did most sabres fans.

But still.

Ya, 1 will help the other.

Its hilarious.
Sometimes he just has a convo with himself.

Supposedly you get paid for 5v5 goals, what’s the surprise?

Dubas is the boy wonder!

Andersen playing 8-1 pens
- senstroll

Big big night for Andersen tonight

Yeah, for sure. I can't find the tweet but somebody extrapolated standings for the top 5 teams in the league if they had Leafs goaltending this year and it wasn't pretty.

Say all you want about playing D, but at the end of the day, you're only as good as your goaltender.
- gravyface

Somewhat.
Good D can make an average goalie look good.
Horrible D can make a good goalie look bad.
Horrible D and a goalie not playing as well as he good, can make a great goalie look really bad.

The team doesnt go anywhere until they clean up the mess in their own end. Bring in Brodeur, Hasek or Roy in their prime and they wont do as well behind this garbage team D.

- Garnie

maybe his caresi and corsi are good. That seems to be all people care aboot.

Dubas is the boy wonder!

The about face by the Ottawa Radio guys was pretty great.

"Which is the way he wants it! Well he gets it!"

But agreed. Team defence has been the issue for years.

1st year D, how may do we have?

It’s like we have Ferrari’s up front and a couple Pinto’s - a Tonka truck and a Tacoma on D 🤷🏻‍♂️

- AdamFrench

I knew that you were behind it.

How are the Ottawa call-in show guys taking this trade?

Devastated I bet

Ugh that skinner deal.
sorry man.
- Fakepartofme

The coach hates Skinner and refuses to play him with Eichel or on powerplay 1.

Every other forward has played with Eichel this year, except Skinner. Its so damn odd.


So its going well.

He went from strong prospect having an off year to AHL lifer very quickly.
