Yup, fix the smaller issues while they are small... Or wait until they are big issues. whatever.

If the (frank)in PP was running at 5% and we were winning, would it be any different?

How does that explain keeping our goals against down?

I don't think their d will ever be a top 3 d in the NHL. They are limiting chances at an above average rate, and limiting overall l shots at an elite rate. We fixate when a D gets beat by a forward, but that happens every game to every team.

Overall the Leafs are losing d coverage no more than the top half of the league.

Hockey is a fickle sport..

The stat-egists hit the panic button too often because all they do is look at the stats sheet, and interpret it the only way they know how.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

uhm no, most fans realize it with their eyes but use stats to prove the irrational haters wrong. Facts are important.

I don't see anything wrong with someone using stats to support their stance.

Yeah.. thats (frank)ed up.

Idk how he's supposed to put his hands behind is back when a 200lbs pig is laying on top of him.

all pigs should be tested for drugs on a weekly basis, roids or otherwise.

Freddy has to get it figured out, .888 will not win the Leafs a cup this year. The team can't cover that against the better teams.

This is my opinion, I am allowed to have my own..

I share your opinion.. Andersen needs to be better.. I don't really blame him on any of the goals.. Yeah, he could've been in a better position on the second goal against, but most good players will score from there when given a chance like that.

I have yet to see Andersen steal a win for the Leafs this year.. It's only 11 games so he has time to improve.. We need more consistency from him.

The Leafs haven't needed Freddy to be good.

There will come a time where the Leafs are off their games and that is when we need Freddy to be on.

Or when we face good teams like MTL or if they make the Conference finals/Cup finals.

But for now? Freddy is good enough to beat EDM, WPG, CGY, OTT

I don't' agree with that.. The Leafs outshot and outplayed the Jets in that 3-1 win.

he made some massive saves in that game.. it wasnt the quantity of shots, but the quality.

Any time Freddy does his job and makes a handful of saves it means he stole the game.

Any time he plays bad its not his fault.

5M a year to have these expectations? Meanwhile poor Kerfoot gets batted around for looking at a ref at 3.5M.

So did Dermott get hurt or is there a trade in the works?

Yep, “Spezza powdered that one by Demko” was another good one.

that's fair, he made some good saves, but I wouldn't say he won that game for the Leafs.
Hellebuyck was just as good..

I could be wrong, but wasn't that the game Matthews had 10 shots on goal and didn't score?

Ferraro knows about leaky backsides, and Vancouver definitely has a giant gaping leaky backside.

sometimes..

hard for some to accept, but generally in the grand scheme of things, none of us are that important.
