Must suck to be a fan and have no belief in your team, the eternal pessimistic view has one advantage I suppose - anything other than complete failure in the worst way possible can be viewed as a 'nice surprise'?

Right, on both counts

When they take the other 75% off and add a 25% money back coupon I'll THINK about it....god those jerseys are

Are those the grey and blue, or those horrible ones that every team made a couple months ago?

Yep.....terrible, possibly the worse reverse retro jerseys of the league.

tied for 23rd in Sv% among goalies with more than 9 games played. This is right about where he looks to me, bottom 3rd of the league starters/1/1A

Yes, agreed about Campbell, and pissed off about Matthews. They had a comfortable lead and he looks off. I don't want to hear that he is still dealing with the injury. Let him heal FFS. This team is done if he isn't 100%

Why use 9 or more games played as your goalpost? Is that because it better fits the narrative? Andersen has played 18 games, your comparing him to guys who have played half as many - is that really a fair comparison?

I don't agree that his numbers are mediocre - they are inconsistent just like his play.

He is tied for 2nd in the league with wins - although some say it's not a good stat to judge goalies on (which I don't agree with personally but that's my opinion - I just don't see many NHL teams winning games when they goalie plays like poop).

His Save % is .906 which is 37th sure that looks bad. Now back out say any goalie with less than 15 starts and where is he? He's 10th. I think the # of games has to be factored in when you are comparing goalies, of the top 10 save % goalies currently only 4 of them have played 10 or more games.


He has played the most minutes in the league (18 games) and his GAA is 30th so he's bad right? There are only 4 goalies with lower GAA's that have played 15 or more games than him. 11 more if you want to push out games played to 12 or more.

Stats are such a gongshow in many ways, as per the above I could argue Andersen is a top 10/15 goalie in the league. I personally don't think he is that this year, I'd say he is middle of the pack - sometimes plays better than that, sometimes less and he is about what we should expect for 5M per year.




Go Leafs Go.

Uh, restricting the number of games played fits your narrative I imagine.

It is meant to fllter out guys like Campbell.

You picked 15 games because that fits YOUR narrative. 9 games is fair. It weeds out the once-in-a-while goalies who may have had a great game and skewed their stats.

His numbers aren't mediocre... they are inconsistent?

Uh, ok.

I don't remember whose I liked except Montreal were outstanding I thought.

I just remember the Leafs being really (frank)ing nondescript... like they took all of 3 minutes designing it.

I find it impossible to believe in the Leafs.

You never know which Matthews-Marner you are going to get and Ander5en is not even a question for me. He is a problem.
