You know what the difference is between .909 and .906 in terms of actual goals?

.003 is 3 more goals on 1000 shots. 1 extra goal every 333 shots. Or, 1 extra goal every 11 games at 33 shots a game.

The biggest problems are the defense and the coach, not the goalies.

I know the worst backup in the league had identical numbers with the Leafs this season to Ander5en's 2020.

I do think regardless of how this season ends, (unless, they can somehow win the Cup), that changes will be made in the offseason.

Even if they win the Cup there will be changes.

You'd do a snake if someone would hold it for you.

Is it impossible to hold the concepts in one's mind simultaneously that the Leafs' D needs improvement and Andersen hasn't been great this year? Where's the problem, those two concepts aren't mutually exclusive, and from my informal survey of the hockey world that seems to be the prevailing analysis.

I feel like there should be a site where I could interact with likeminded people.

Apparently the answer to that is yes, depending of course on who you ask.

It seems so simple, yet some people are incapable of acknowledging this.

Probably because it's harder to argue against someone making reasonable statements like this unless you oversimplify it into an extreme. It's like making strawman arguments. It's so much easier to win an argument when you can make up or alter the opinion you want to argue against...

Andersen has been a top 10 goalies the past 5 years.

The Leafs D has been terrible for the past 5 years.

More blame is on the defense, the GM and the coach than Andersen / Campbell.

Facts.

Nice arms!

So now you've gone from blaming the defense, gm, and coach entirely, to arguing how much blame goes to who?

Shall we start arguing about what percentage of blame goes to who now?

You know what, maybe I should just be happy you're willing to compromise a little and admit everyone is to blame to some degree.

Writing the word facts after your opinion isn't some kind of magic incantation that changes it from an opinion.

The majority of the blame is on factors that aren't because of Andersen. That's always been the case. When I went through every goal against in 2020, goal by goal, I said there were goals that were Andersen's fault. I never said there weren't. But the vast majority were on factors outside of his control.
