Don't go so far out on that limb.I think, all in all, Id rather have Hellebuyck than Andersen.

Hopefully it's for somebody else. Trade him.Better goalie won. Hellebuyck stole that game and Andersen continues to fall short. He will shrink in the playoffs again.
Leafs had 51 scoring chances and 24 high danger chances in that game.
Jets had 20 and 6.
This is the definition of getting goalied. one goalie made the tough saves, and the other didn’t
I think we played really well, close to dominating. Lots and lots of chances. Kerfoot and Marner missed excellent scoring chances. Freddy was the difference maker, in the negative sense. Though I was pretty frustrated with Holl, Reilly, and Marner, too. Hellebuck stole it, credit where its due.
That said in terms of defensive breakdown Rielly messed up badly on the last goal. Unforced turnover and then does nothing to cover anyone (he was deep in our d zone). Holl was struggling all night. Matthews made a really dumb deflection with his skate, like a 3ft high kick, just to deflect it slightly and f*** with Freddy.
quite franly given this thread the worst day ever in recent leafs history seems to be the day we traded Tuukka Rask
That's just it, most mistakes don't and shouldn't end up in your net.It's just a shame that so many of those mistakes ended in the back of our net.
I felt for Kerfoot on that first PK. Worked his ass off, has a great shift, then a random tip ends up in our net. Feels like he's 85% of a solid player but can't make that last jumpSome players have a knack for making backbreaking and deflating plays (or non-plays) and we have one or two. Andersen is definitely making Dubas' offseason decision easier.
Aside from Andersen, holy crap Kerfoot how many chances is he going to miss. He also isn't great on the PK.
An average goalie lets in 2 or 3 goals most likely. It would be amazing if Andersen could climb his way up into being an average goalie, but I doubt it6 high danger chances SHOULD NOT LEAD to 4 goals against. Good f***ing god Freddy, make a damn save when it matters.
Unfortunate because there isn't one goal where you say "You have to stop that" but Helly had a ton of "how did he stop that" moments where Andersen didn't have many if any at all.
nah i read our D isn't as good as the JetsAn average goalie lets in 2 or 3 goals most likely. It would be amazing if Andersen could climb his way up into being an average goalie, but I doubt it
Did Thornton play in the 3rd?
I'd say that Ottawa collapse doesn't happen with adequate goaltending either. A few saves and we coast to a win, but everything ended up in the back of our netThe team has also been constantly outshooting the opponents of late. Ya some shots are junk, but they still get some high quality chances. The team hasn't really been embarrassed since maybe the Ottawa collapse? It's just being outdueled in net in certain games. Overall, team has been playing pretty well game-to-game.
Dear lurking Jets fans:
Yeah, must be nice to have a real goalie while ours sucks major ass. We know.
Thanks for stopping by.
I'll take that betJets are going to sweep series. Leafs getting shut out next game.
He was just BS lucky as well Jets had two shots on at least half the net when he was swimming around in one sequence.even when he did make the save they didn't look like he was confident in making them
his technique and positioning have been less then stellar this year, yes he's put in some excellent work this year but just nowhere near enough of it
without looking it up how many games can you actually say Freddie stole?
