Too useless for 3rd line on the Leafs? How so? Sorry he's gone. Not ragging on Willy, but he has 17 goals vs Brown's 21. Brown kills penalties (so Marner wouldn't have to) and has 5 short handed goals. And seeing him so many times this year, it's noticable the guy gives everything he's got every shift and is still durable not missing games.
Well said. It’s exactly what is wrong with him as you explained. We will have back to back games in playoffs. He’s going to start and you and i likely won’t like it much pre game
Why wouldn't he be happy with his performance? Anything under five against is a win in his book.
Lol ok bud. Hutch over Freddy it is. Thank god we have intelligent people actually running this team and not the experts we find on these boards. Just cringe.
Im sorry but thinking Andersen is the 4th best goalie in the leafs organization is stupid.
If you actually think cherry picking a stat from a small sample size tells the whole picture and/or is going to be the thing that informs your decisions im at a loss for words. What a remarkable display of ignorance.
lol Quite the charmer. Cherry picking a small sample size? If you say so boss.
This is overblown IMO. You have great humble players and great egotistical players, just like you have weak versions of those personalities as well.
Considering Andersen has played about 400 games and has a career .915 save percentage, yes the 24 games he has played this year is a small sample size. Not to mentioned he was playing injured but lets not have these inconvenient truths get in the way of any kind of self reflection on ones flawed thought process. Lets just be stubborn and dig our heels in.
It points to his mindset though. Not taking responsibility for me means not learning/evolving. Remember Babs...he was always right and never took the blame for anything and it showed. He couldn't/wouldn't adapt because he was right and everyone else was wrong and it was bad for the leafs. That for me is a lack of awareness and character. No humility. Who wants to play for someone like that? Part of why Soup is so well liked in these parts. The man is humble.
I don't care much about his first 300 games, but take a good hard look at his last 100 and use stats and your eyes and if you still feel like he is your guy to take us to the promised land, well then I will leave it at that cause we have a different idea of what will work and what won't.
No i don't think he will bring us to the promised land and this is what we would call a straw man argument. That's where you project a narrative or idea onto someone else and argue against it. Im going with Campbell all the way, hes earned it. In no way do i want the leafs to try and re sign freddy to another contract either. This all started when a bunch of ridiculous fans started piling on when i suggest they take the hate blinders off for one second and re evaluate their asinine position that freddy should be relegated to 4th on the depth chart. I mean cmon no objective observer believes this nonsense.
Been a leaf fan for decades, as have most of my friends and family and I can tell you that there are many knowledgeable fans who are cringing at the prospect of Freddie coming back this year and playing in any capacity. In my opinion and it is only an opinion so no real need to take it personally unless your related to the man or something, I do not want Fred anywhere near this team. I've seen enough.
