GDT: Foligno and Andersen Return Tonight in OTT | 8pm Sportsnet

[Marshy]

What if he scores two in the 3rd?

If Andersen scores two?


First star for sure.

Andersen has grabbed the backup job tonight boys ....






























.....for the Marlies.

For the leafs.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Wouldn’t be surprised if that softie ends up being the game winner. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time but I pray it’s the absolute LAST time for this waste of cap space.

Speaking of wastes of cap space, Rielly needs to go this summer. He’s slow, stupid and can’t shoot worth a damn. Replace him with Sandin/Liljegren and sign someone else.

 

[Le Cobra]

As bad as Andersen has been this game. This is his first game back in MONTHS. Playing our KRYPTONITE Ottawa, in a game that DOESNT MATTER - so the Leafs are, quite reasonably and logically, taking it very easy and relaxed. Freddie is still a great goalie, just not elite.

He will probably end up with the Kraken, lead them to their first playoffs but be eliminated in the first round. Which is nothing to be ashamed of. Presently, he clearly has lost his confidence and needs to find it again.

 

[Future]

But he's still better than Greg Millen.

Greg Millen and Pierre McGuire are two of my favourites when it comes to colour guys. Don’t really need the high end insight, and they bring the comedic factor for me.

 

[Gallagbi]

Sandin is clearly a more cerebral player but nowhere near the skater that Rielly is. I think they might be better once setup with Sandin but Rielly is more likely to stop the clears and better at gaining the zone. I'm fine trying anything though. They don't make adjustments. Just keep running the same thing that the entire league has figured out how to stop. One thing I do like is Nylander in front of the net. That should be a staple IMO.

Rielly isn't tasked with gaining the zone and really doesn't read plays well enough to cut them off with any consistency. His strength is gaining speed and jumping into rushes, which isn't really useful with our PP setup

Friedman looking like a plantation owner

 

[Havoc]

Damn left for a bit and missed the third goal. That was trash. I do think when both are at their best Andersen is the clear cut better option but the amount of games Andersen needs to get "right" doesn't exist. Playoffs start next week.

Love them both but I guess I'm on the Campbell game 1 ship now. Can't start a rusty Fred when the games count . Really nervous about that third round matchup though. Hopefully he proves to not be a product of easy games.

JT!!!!

TAVARES!!!! Ohh captain, my captain.

88 and 91 beauty play

Beauty pass nice shot

Wow what a beautiful pass and shot on that goal.

Nylander to Tavares magic.

What a play by Willie and the snipe by JT!!

Jesus what a play by Willie. RKO outta nowhere.

Tavvy!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice new sticks jt

Nylander with another brilliant pass - finally someone scores on one .

woo!

We're back, baby!

JT!!

Sorry I’m late, just getting back home.

 

[socko]

I wouldn't wish that on the Kraken. Well maybe I would....

 

[djdev]

lol
rielly 2:53 pptoi = 1 goal
muzzin 0.25 pptoi = 1 goal

not so good for rielly lol

 

[keonsbitterness]

Helen Hutchinson hosting Wednesday Leafs games -- I remember that. Didn't last long because CTV lost the contract a year or two later.

 

[CelticDruid]

Andersen is obviously stoned, looks like he is guessing half the time.

Rielly isn't tasked with gaining the zone and really doesn't read plays well enough to cut them off with any consistency. His strength is gaining speed and jumping into rushes, which isn't really useful with our PP setup

I don't see any reason to keep the PP setup. It sucks and people have figured it out. It's not a fluke we're not scoring and it's not going to change.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

It’s nice to finally see someone sticking up for the goalie for once.

 

[Le Cobra]

If Andersen scores two?


First star for sure.

I know who the first star of this thread is. Your comments are hilarious.

 

[Gallagbi]

What I dont understand is how when Rielly was taken off PP1 it didnt suddenly start lighting it up. In fact it looked nearly the same.

Because he's an issue, not THE issue

 

[zeke]

People still aren't tired of making excuses for Fred. Pretty amazing.

 

[NinjaKick]

the good news? this team is never out of it

 

[A1LeafNation]

Presidents Trophy run ends tonight boys.

VGK and COL winning.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Maybe well get Galley and Hughson.

Just give me Simpson. Not a homer for any team and not annoying. Is reserved but gives very interesting input. I'd be super happy if we get Cuthbert/Simpson for the entire playoffs.

 

[Superstar]

Andersen is obviously stoned, looks like he is guessing half the time.

Don't understand why he can't even stay in the middle of his net...going side to side and out of position.

 

[fahad203]

How's Cassie Campbell so bad at this? I see no improvement in years she's been working

 

[Gallagbi]

I don't see any reason to keep the PP setup. It sucks and people have figured it out. It's not a fluke we're not scoring and it's not going to change.

What's the PP setup that you don't want to keep? The big 4? The top D? The offside onetimers? The proper side onetimers? The double deflection? The outside setup?

Sadly we've tried a lot of different setups through these 25 games

 

[MattySnipes]

How bout that Gretz like dish by Willy to JT on goal
