We're mostly on the same page. I don't let the D slide for their mishaps, they always happen in hockey. A game of mistakes.

I think I just believe the goalie has to bail out the D, be consistent and, at times, extraordinary for a team to REALLY win and get the Cup.

PS, I'm not advocating trading Andersen unless they have a sure thing to replace him....I just want Keefe to ride the hot goalie for a change. I hate riding the mediocre goalie hoping that he finds his game. I think Campbell is a 1b that can handle more time and push Andersen.

The thing that bothers me most about Andersen isn’t necessarily the goals he let in so much as his poor positioning. Even on his saves it looks like he doesn’t really know where the net is behind him... and lots of flailing... that’s a big sign of a struggling goalie when they aren’t named Hasek

For sure.

I hope Campbell gets a shutty tonight.

There was a bit of that. Maybe he needs to clean up his rebounds.

I’ll just settle for a win... and I don’t know... at least 10mins of relatively structured playmaking?

Oh... and some team defence would be nice too

A bit?

Man he made a save with his crotch while he was on his stomach with his legs pointing towards the blue line and his head in the net.

That’s more than a rebound issue....I realize the defence has been brutal but it’s not entirely to blame...as for rebound control absolutely it needs to be better... half the time that’s what starts the defence scrambling in the first place

Very Reimer-esque. Then again, letting in softies at inopportune times is very Bernier-esque.
I wish there were people with a middle-ground to Freddy. The first couple years here he was a goddamn stud. Consistently faced the most shots and had really good stats. But he has definitely faltered the past year and a bit, with a similar defensively inept team in front of him.
He went from a legit top 5-10 starter to a slightly below average starter. This season is a bad sign so far. He needs to find a groove or we're (frank)ed. This team doesn't have the right makeup to bail out a goalie.

Ya I noticed that last night. We he's on his game he's calm and good with positioning...but last night, he was swimming all over the place.

I mean, it could just be new people, new systems that he needs to get use to combined with his terrible start habit....which is why....

Kinda wish Leafs would try the "ride the hot goalie" for once. Babs didn't do that either...when we had McIll. (I'm glad he didn't do it with Sparks or Hutch )

Only if you ignore the talent difference between Marner and Dubois.

Oh big time... I’m hoping Campbell plays well and competes with Andersen for starts... that alone might play a big role when it comes to Andersen finding his game again

I would be happy if Campbell played well because I want them to win.
But I like your reason too.

All I’m saying is if the leafs are only looking for that kind of netminding I’ll happily do it for a lot less money lol

We all know Andersen has it in him to be a solid starter... but he needs to calm down and find his groove sooner than later

Literally what I just said. Why don't you try exercising that brain of yours to see if it's capable of an original thought

Edit: I'm aware of your banning capabilities and to ensure no misunderstanding, I was very much (frank)ing with you.
