Freeze the video at the point of release (around 24 seconds) and tell me if you think it's reasonable to imagine Campbell may have had some trouble with 44 completely blocking his view of Anderson.

Only thing I hated more than losing to the Habs yesterday was Campbell beating himself up over it.
Boys owe it to their goalie. He put a total crap team game and put it all on himself.

Which goal, Suzuki or Anderson?
Suzuki pulls around Rielly, who does a piss poor job on it. Still, the puck can't go through Campbell like it did.
Rielly misplays the 2on1, but Anderson still takes the shot anyways, which should be the lesser of two evils. Campbell looked confused by a few Anderson shots during the game, like he wasn't sure where to setup and was guessing.
One mistake doesn't prevent others from happening. Campbell allowed 2 softies, Rielly misplayed 2 goals (and a few others too)

Leafs problem seems to that they consistently play down to the level of their competition in games. Good teams tend not to do that very often and simply dominate lesser competition from start to finish.
They have enough skill and talent that in the end it results in a win but often by 1 goal games.
Leafs really go outplayed, outworked and outshot by Montreal in the 1st and this time the effort wasn't good enough to mount a comeback after falling behind.

I think Matthews did a great job, he tried to make it look like he was losing his balance, and attempted to spear the guy in the face. Watch closely. One of the oldest tricks in the book. Still effective.
Too bad referees have finally gotten the green light to call cutbacks for a penalty(interference), Peter Forsberg made a living out of it.
Matthews only did that after he realized the goof wasn't going to get a penalty for boarding. Lot of quick thinking there by Matthews.
Gotcha, different games and different goals.
My comment is about last night and the two goals Campbell allowed that were soft. The clip shown is from earlier in the season with Andersen in net and Matthews screening. Rielly isn't on the ice (44)

Lol people hate the Leafs because they have an inferiority complex. They’re sad that their teams, no matter how good, will never be as relevant in the eyes of the media as the Leafs. They’re sad that even when the leafs are a dumpster fire, more people care about them than their own team. To pretend it’s anything else is to be in denial.
Love Campbell, but he's going to have to chill a bit. Everyone has bad games and we've seen the guys in front of him play like dog water as well. No need to drag yourself to the media all the time. I guess that's one positive Andersen had going for him. Doesn't run too hot and doesn't run too cold.

Hence the Rittich trade.
It's entirely possible that come playoff time Rittich might be the #1.
Thank you. Though I'm not sure I would have been able to come up with the word 'decorum'
that's the essence of what I was trying to say. By all means hold an opinion, criticize, but do it with out demeaning the guy. Sorry for my rant, I don't set the rules for everyone and should learn to say things with less emotion.Sorry to hear about your niece, whatdoyado? Good luck.
