- Start date
But CuJo will always be #1 in our hearts

If Andersen is able to get 22 more wins he will pass Felix Potvin for 3rd because he had 160 wins during his time in Toronto.

Happy to see Andersen achieve this feat as he's the goalie that can help this team now. CuJo is my all-time favourite goalie though. Interesting now to see if Andersen can get the starts needed to garner enough wins to pass Potvin for third on the list!

If this was a normal 82 game season instead of 56 games, I'm sure that's something Andersen would have done barring a freak injury.

He's looked sharp the last 3. Still annoyed he just wasn't ready for the first 2.

I wanted to see who accomplished the feat faster so i did some digging. Both spent 5 years with the organisation.
Interesting thing about CUJO record is he left the team after 01-02 for Red Wings. Up until then he only had 133 wins as a Maple Leaf in 249 GP. At age 41 he came back and started 11 of 21 games, winning 5 games to boost up his total wins to 138. In 98-99 he finished 4th in Hart voting, and 2nd in Vezina (1st Hasek BUF). He then won the Clancy the following year, finished 11th in Hart voting, and 3rd in Vezina voting. In his final two years before going to Red Wings, he finished with 8th place and 10th place Vezina voting respectively.
Frederik Andersen has started 249 games and won 139. Out of his 249 games, 142 were marked as Quality Starts. In 17-18 finished 4th in Vezina voting. In 18-19 finished 10th in Vezina voting.
Felix Potvin was drafted by the Leafs in 1990 draft. He spent 8 years as a Maple Leaf compiling 160 wins in 359 games started. In 92-93 he was named to the All-Rookie team (Potvin, Malakhov, Niedermayer, Lindros, Selanne, Juneau), 3rd place in NHL All-Star team (1. Belfour 2. Barrasso), 3rd place in Calder voting, 4th place in Vezina voting.
If Fred can top Potvin's record that would be something. He definitely has a great shot at it this year with only playing the Canadian teams. Should be interesting.

Until you mentioned it I had no idea Joseph was 4th in Hart Trophy voting for the 1998-99 Season.
It's also too bad he didn't win the Vezina Trophy that year or in the 1999-00 Season.

If you include Andersen's wins against Montreal, Winnipeg, and Edmonton this season for his career against the other Canadian based teams is 55 wins, 13 loses, 14 overtime/shootout loses.
So hopefully that means possibly passing Potvin for 3rd all time in wins among Maple Leafs Goalies.
Prefer Eddy. CuJo ditched us for Detroit.

Agreed. The intrigue now lies in the shortened season and his pending UFA status that follows it.

Footage of Cujo's reaction to learning he's lost his #4 spot:
Alfy was so sneaky dirty there. Sticking out his leg to interfere and then tucking it back around the post.
That probably still bugs Cujo to this day.

I wonder if Joseph gets suspended if he did that in today's NHL?
Joseph did say he was told earlier on a similar play if the puck went in the goal would not have counted, so we know the reason he went crazy.

Nothing to take away fro Andersen. He has been a good soldier. But CUJO was a warrior. Big games I will take CUJO in a heart beat.
Also worth mentioning it took CUJO long time to add up those wins and a lot of winning seasons.
There was no 4on 4 3 on3 or shutouts. It was a tie game or a win
congrats Andy

I have to do a more detailed search of Joseph's 5 wins he had with Toronto when he came back for the 2008-09 Season, there was 4v4 overtime and shootouts.
I also know that one of those shootout wins he had was against Washington.

Congrats to Freddy!! He's been huge for us.
But personally, I won't consider Freddy as the better goaltender until we see some playoff success. I'm probably biased though because CuJo was the Leafs goaltender when I started watching hockey as a kid.

Good point because at least Joseph got Toronto to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1999 and 2002, where as Andersen has not yet had that same Playoff success and we want that to happen with him.

Modern era Leafs goaltending:
Cujo
Belfour
Potvin
Andersen
Reimer
Bernier
Gustavsson
Toskala
Raycroft
Once Andersen can win a round he can hop into that higher tier of goaltender.

I wish we could erase Gustavsson, Toskala, and Raycroft from the Maple Leafs history books.
At least Andersen's 38 wins in the 2017-18 Season erased Raycroft's name from having the most regular season wins by a Toronto Goalie.

Cujo outdueled some top goalies in his era. That’s how you win series. He stole games we had no business being in - in the playoffs. The series against Carolina and New Jersey were heartbreaking

To this day I still think how Toronto should have defeated Carolina in 2002 and at least made the Stanley Cup Finals against Detroit.
