GDT: Leafs Flames @7

[IronHalen]

At the end of the day... imagine having to score 4 or 5 goals every game to win. LOL

 

[Suntouchable13]

Time to watch a team of Kaberle's go to work?

Kaby is still the most talented, skilled, smoothest D I have ever seen in a Leafs jersey. Insanely talented.

 

[Divine]

Markstrom just made a save Andersen would have 'no chance' on

 

[Primary Assist]

Keefe make the ballsy play and pull Fred for the extra man with the 1 second of PP time

 

[glue]

Matthews definitely not close to 100%

 

[mcleafs]

Story of the game right there again. Opposing goalie makes a huge save. Fred let in multiple bad goals. Broken record.

 

[Azazel]

Markstrom with a timely save.

Man we could use a couple of those

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Matthews doesn't have the skater equivalent of a sub .900 sv% though even with his subpar play during his injury

When we consider cap hits, it's arguable that Matthews has underperformed more than Andersen since they both returned from injuries.

Like I said... goaltending is a tough gig.

 

[fahad203]

Man Spezza can still pass

 

[34]

Leafs get out-goaltended yet again.

6 loses in 7 games.

 

[MattySnipes]

Hit

So is being a 1C

 

[Sniper99]

Their goalie is allowed to make saves.

Not fair.

Their team plays defense and doesnt look lost. Not fair.

 

[sxvnert]

Matthews cant hit the side of a barn

 

[Bellefour20]

Save your energy boys, the real game, where you have a chance of winning, is tomorrow.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Not going to win many games when you have to net 5. Really frustrating. Need goaltending. Not even spectacular goaltending. Just average would be amazing at this point

Like I said... goaltending is a tough gig.

Playing like 50% of a 11 mil player is better than playing like 0% of a 5 mil player.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Must be nice to get mediocre goaltending.

Wonder what it's like.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Time to put the puck on net. Jesus christ

No, it's really not arguable at all.

 

[NK94]

That's largely true overall. But a month ago we were all saying that maybe the "old" Freddy is back. And maybe he was. And maybe now he just has a nagging injury holding him back, like Matthews does.

Matthews' injury isn't helping matters, but it's not costing this team games though. This team hasn't lost a game without Matthews in the lineup this season. Andersen constantly being the second best goalie on the ice regardless of who's in net, and putting up sub .900 SV%'s every game, and making a Hutchison start on the second half of a B2B in Ottawa a must win game because he had an .854 SV% in the 3 Jets games... is costing this team games.

Pick up a goalie at the deadline and give Campbell starts. They don't have a choice anymore.

 

[Mats13]

Markstrom just made a save Andersen would have 'no chance' on

Come on now you can’t expect Andersen to do his job

Stop being so unreasonable

 

[IPS]

Anyone seriously wanna dispute that goaltending hasn’t been the difference this game??

 

[123offtheglass]

They need to get him off PP1. He's been brutal - every time taking low percentage shots into legs.

We should give Mikko Lehtonen a try there... oh wait he's gone

 

[Stephen]

Well Matthews got three looks on the PP.
