GDT: Leafs Flames @7

[Canadian Finn]

Just smoking a lucky Cuban Cigar i was saving for good luck when we needed it. All good now

Cohiba?

I have a wine cellar full of Cubans.

My favourite pleasure in life.

The loss today isn't on Andersen, he shouldn't be in the net he can't pull himself.

Yes he can, he pulled his groin...

"Muzzin changed the direction!"

He wasn't stopping it no matter what.

Goaltending is definitely a tough gig.

We have Matthews here who's playing through a nagging injury. He's WAY less impactful since returning from his injury. 2 goals/4 points in 7 games. Nobody is mad at him. At worse, people are saying he should rest until he's at 100%.

We also have Andersen who was doing well earlier in the year but he also currently has a nagging injury. His numbers have dropped similarly to Matthews. And everyone here is calling for blood.

He wasn’t

 

[Craig Button]

MAF is having himself a season and would have been available, likely with retention

Plus he’s already an honorary Leaf for his save that cost Babcock his job

We’ll win now. No more goals for calgary

You’re replying to an Andersen apologist. They don’t believe in facts. Just save your breath

I might as well. Hell, Andersen's numbers would have looked bad in the 80's at this rate.

 

[Menzinger]

Flames still haven't hit 20 shots yet

 

[IronHalen]

It's hilarious and sad any time Tavares gets in a 1 on 1 situation with the puck. He has no foot speed to out skate anybody.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Look at the replay and tell me. It was clear to me that the puck changed direction, I didn't analyze it any further than that.

The puck looks like it dips in elevation about an inch or 2. This would have made it easy to stop seeing as it went over his blocker. A change in elevation shouldn't impact your ability to stop a deflection. If you are in position to make the original save, it should still just hit you. Sometimes they still find a hole. This one didn't, he didn't track it, and didn't even react to a minor tip that happened about 10 feet in front of him.

The post giveth, the post taketh

I agree, but at the same time, it might not be worth risking Campbell playing back to back with his injuries this season, so I somewhat understand not pulling Andersen.

They should have stuck Andersen on IR and rolled with Campbell and Hutch these two games (even with how bad Hutch was against Ottawa.)

 

[The Big Swede13]

Calgary plays a real clean game

 

[TMLeafer]

Flames still haven't hit 20 shots yet

Or even a single infraction, apart from an instigator technicality.

How many years you age and cure the tobacco?

My uncle used to grow tobacco...generally by year two or three it became smokable.

Atta boy hoot hoot

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Leafs really have them hemmed in.

Liking what I see from Gally more than Vesey.

 

[baton elevated]

When the puck enters our zone I am always on pins in needles. You have to know if the puck is directed to the net, it's going in. Shaking my head in disgust, not just goaltending but the whole way we defend.
ATTACK THE PUCK, too much time for opposing teams to do what they want. Other teams force our puck carriers or points relentlessly. It's the most effective way to play. We dont do it.

 

[therealkoho]

shrugs. I don't know. Lots of people post here. I haven't memorized where everyone stands regarding Andersen.

I, just a few weeks ago, was still sometimes defending him.

I'm not anymore though. I'd be happy if the leafs moved on from Andersen.

same as far as Fred is concerned

 

[Captain Crunch]

Does anyone else notice how difficult it is for us to get a shot on net whenever we are cycling against the other team, but other teams seem to be able to get shots through when they're cycling in our end?

 

[Azazel]

"Muzzin changed the direction!"

f***ing anouncers trying everything they can

Calgary plays a real clean game

Weird how that happens to teams playing the Leafs.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Well that sucks, perfect pass from Joe. Also, Joe/Simmons/Spezza should be the 4th line

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Galchenyuk looks better than Vesey ever did.

 

[Stephen]

Galchenyuk is a little more rambunctious. His skill level seems like it’s dropped a little though. Seem to remember him having smoother handles in Montreal.

Penalty agiast calgary, so it isn't so
