It’s never as bad as some media types make it out to be. Hell, some players get IV treatment between periods. But it’s the long term implications for our youngest players. We finally have a young skilled core and now development is hampered by covid infection. Lungs, heart, kidneys can all be damaged. The Canucks have a tough enough time dealing with hockey related injuries let alone long term complications from covid. Argh.

Anyway, back to leaf talk.

I think the leafs goaltending situation is abysmal considering they are contenders. Positional depth must be addressed before trade deadline.

I like Campbell but I'm not sure I'd trust him with the keys to the Stanley cup bus just yet.

awesome. Can you imagine what it must be like to have the entire weight of leaf nation’s playoff expectations resting on your shoulders? Oh boy.

They really should trade for somebody who could maybe, maybe go for a 5-0 or 6-0 run and stabilize things a bit. Wouldn’t that be great?

Well it's been the fart bus up until this season so why not try something new?

Our starter is 13-8, despite playing a very large chunk of games while injured.

Our #2 is 9-0, with a GAA of 1.53 and a sv% of .944. And he has 2 shutouts.

Our #3 is 4-2, with a GAA of 2.42 and a sv% of .919. And he has a shutout.

Put another way, our #2 has a GAA over a goal lower than Carey Price, with a much better sv% (.903) and one more shutout.

And Allen has slightly better numbers than Hutchinson, except in win%.

I don’t think that ever happens, like ever

When Leafs nation gets irrationally exuberant about a goalie, what can possibly go wrong?

Seriously though, lots of recent Cup teams needed two goalies. Unlike the weakhearts and vampires around here, I've stood by Freddy this entire time.

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a mad man around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

But Wedgie, we’re playing in The Weeks Home Hardware North Division. Once we play those same teams in the playoffs, we’re screwed.

The +32 GF/GA differential means nothing because Boston was mean to us.

Other than Keefe saying "no concern" is there any update on Freddy Andersen?

- Zezel

What qualifies as standing by?

Wanting him to be better like he was 2 years, or thinking that he is as good as he was, and it's the team around him that's gotten worse?

Because I want 2018 Freddy back. This year's and last year's Freddy have to be better.

I was talking to a buddy about this on Monday - if he keeps up his redonkalabonk play, could he realistically get a Vezina vote?

I'm not talking about winning the damn thing - just thinking that maybe a writer or two throws him a 10th place vote.

Let's say he gets 10 more starts, and wins 7 of them.

16-3 would win you the Cy Young.

It's not like he's only getting wins.

He's at the top for SV%.

At the top for GAA

Mrazek has stoopid shutout numbers (3 in 6 starts), but 2 in 9 starts ain't shabby neither.

Big if, but if he continues to post numbers like this, I think he deserves consideration (which is not the same as winning it).

I say, give him the Cy Young!

But seriously, if he keeps on that amazing stretch alive, sure, he'll get a few votes.

I also have no concern.

Keefe's comment was hard to read... I don't know what to make of it?

Like, no concern, he'll be back really soon or no concern, if he's out for the year, Campbell has been excellent?

I just don’t think he warrants it based on that number of games. Grubaur with over 30 games has really good numbers

something feels off to me.
but I feel its cap related..his injury is a bit of a mystery.

but i would say the same thing if I was him even if freddy had 2 broken legs...you know...to not stirr up a sht storm

I am not positive, but I think Vezina has only 3 votes cast. So you can cast whomever you like, but there are spots 1, 2 and 3 only.

I love what Campbell is doing here, but I can think of probably 10 guys who'd get votes before Campbell should based on sample size.
