He opened the door at the end of the second and then he didnt make one necessary save in the 3rd. NHL goalies are supposed to make saves.
- Aetherial

He did make some.
Nhl superstars are suppose to be able to shut down ok to average nhl players.

He's not wrong. I mean, he's wrong about Freddie being a legit Cup contending goalie, but this seriously lacks compete. They are not a "hard" team to play against.

We need Simmonds back and we need (frank)ing truculence.
- mjones242

They got sloppy and fell asleep at the wheel in the 3rd period again. When they're on their game as they have been for the majority of the games this year, they're a tough team to play against.

Andersen makes a couple of saves and that pushback is a 5-3 game that we win in regulation, with OTT patting themselves on the back for making it close.

How is Andersen not at the top of that list?
- mjones242

Too obvious

yes?

Doesnt a loss like this bother you just a little bit?

if not maybe youre not a Leafs fan.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

I'm fu2king pissed about the loss. Hate this BS. Hate bad goaltending more than anything.

And, Freddy isn't bad all the time but he was horrible tonight.

His inconsistency is a huge issue for me. The skaters inconsistency is an issue for me but a smaller issue because if the goalie sucks, the game is over regardless.

dont encourage me..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

You're so wrong and so right and it's infuriating!

Oh it’s the Sens again.
- Chuckywhip

And thursday

They can win the next 5 and it will not change the my opinion they have major flaws still.

It’s not like they blew a 5-1 leads against a great team like Boston. They blew it to the worst team in the league.

Embarrassing.

Fun game, I wouldn't draw rigid conclusions over it, but help yourself.

He did make some decetn saves..

The goals were all from high quality scoring chances that the Leafs D should have never allowed.

no denying he shouldve been better. he lost confidence as the game went on.

But terrible defensive play in front of him. All the goal came from high quality chances.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

How many saves on high-quality chances?

How many were high quality because of his poor rebound control, bad decisions inability to track the puck...

I'll grant you Nylander was horrible and I am pretty much done with that kind of effort but Freddie threw that game away tonight.

And thursday
- bryant

Well good luck!

Was Andy the goat again or the D?

look who here after a Leafs lose

the one who had enough of us Leafs fan

Told you fellers it wouldn’t be the same without the Wayne Train.

Having a fighter in the lineup is essential.

All of the goals came from terrible defensive awareness and were all high quality chances.

He shouldve made a couple more saves for sure, but to pin this all on Freddy is idiotic.

Gotta admit, end of that game Matthews looked like he didn’t want to play anymore. Not skating back hard at all. He’s my boy but that can’t happen.

Freddie is garbage. He out garbaged a (frank)ing AHL goalie tonight.

This team deserved to lose, us Leafs fans deserve better.
- Kinger34

Agree - third rate effort overall, but which Andersen showed up tonight? It was sh!tthebedFred!

Has to be said, although I’m sure many have: Andersen is garbage. Got outplayed by what’s his face in the Ottawa net.
- bartsch

Yeah get Matthews to look at the back of his jersey to figure out his name.

- Fakepartofme

I think what is frustrating is his consistency.

Overall the Leafs have been consistent, Freddy has not. It’s been brutal.

The team sucked too, but it’s just frustrating seeing the same pattern with freddy.

Oh yeah, the Leafs crumbled, no question.

Freddie was the worst Leaf. He is just not good enough. I don't understand how anyone could call him reliable.

I am terrified that they re-sign him.

you're embarrassing yourself!
- 21peter

Why is that? I had better things to do on a 3 day weekend & didn’t watch the game only just saw lost after up 5-1.

The highlights looked like Freddy wasn’t stellar but wasn’t all on him.

When your team puts up five and you fail to make a couple saves you should have, then you are the problem.

How many times are we going to see games like this from Ander7en.

Fell asleep again like Saturday night, but this time Freddie didn't put up any saves when they needed them. 100% team effort at being terrible for a period again.

Still, whatever. They're still on top of the league. Even bottom feeders can put together a solid period and turn a game around in this league at any given time.

I concur

How come you aren't around when your team is playing like the pooptiest team in the league, then a Leafs joke, and a Canucks win and here you are again.

Freddys confidence is frail

Fans are on him hard....maybe not as deserving as we think. But he isn’t a goalie I’m confident in putting a string of 7-8 games of solid play.

look who here after a Leafs lose

OMG he was bad. How anyone can defend a .806 Save percentage against the worst team in the NHL is bizzare.

Said they were getting complacent and BOOM!!!
