It sounds like Freddie really is injured (I know many people were wondering if it was really true) so that give me some hope. He was solid in last year's playoffs, maybe he can do it again.

I am 100% self-diagnosed with this syndrome. Medication (alcohol) does not provide long term relief ;-)

Do you mind posting the metrics again in terms of each goalie for us on the PK? I know you posted it before but not sure where to look. Thanks.

Unless Marner is behind the net, it is odd indeed.
BTW, Marner QBing the PP from behind the net is something I'd like to see them try. I wonder why they haven't done so.
Sheldon, if you're paying attention - our PP hasn't scored in forever, now might be a good time to try something new and Marner QBing from behind the net makes a ton of sense.
Short term's better than nothing though eh.
Yeah I would agree with that. The most enjoyable result tonight would be an even game with tons of chances at both ends, both goalies playing out of their minds and us winning say 2-1 on a lst minute goal by ... ah, I don't care too much who, I'll say Simmonds I guess. OK he's not likely to be out there in the last minute of a tie game so I'll take him scoring the winner with 3 minutes left.

Keefe about speaking on Andersen and his injury today:
"... It is something we have to manage, something we have to be responsible with it, as a staff and be smart with it. And he's got to be honest and tell us exactly how he's feeling so we can make appropriate decisions."
Ok...what? Is Keefe insinuating that Andersen has been injured for an extended period of time, but wanted to keep playing so he hid his injury? He's played like shit this year, and if it's because he's too proud to sit out because of his injury, he's an idiot. It's one thing to play injured and perform, but if you play injured and look like shit, it's on you. Full stop.

Well Andersen did say he’s been playing with it all year, so it sounds like he hasn’t been honest about the pain and he’s been trying to play through it
It's a contract year so I imagine he's playing because he wants to market himself for next year, but it's having an adverse effect and it's sewering the team.
He always wants to play which to an extent is a good thing but he is just stupid about it. Case in point, in 2017-18 when the Leafs had a playoff spot locked up and he wanted to play rather than letting his body rest ahead of the playoffs. He put up an .896 SV% against Boston.
odd... so after the last game he played, he told Keefe he has been struggling because he was hurt and didn't want to say anything? if true, I now understand why he was shutdown by the team until he "claims" 100% good health

Yes. He definitely wants to put up great number so he can cash in big. I will say, his best approach now would be to get healthy, be encouraging to his team and other goalies, and, if called on, prove to everyone you are still an all-star.

If that is true that is simply unacceptable from Andersen. He's supposed to be the guy that this team is relying on in the playoffs and should be doing everything in his power to make sure he is playing at his best. He's not coming back anyways but I would have liked to see a better send-off.
That is strange also, why play hurt and struggle when you're looking for a new deal, he should have shut it down right away and go straight to rehad and come back healthy
Regardless of how his appointment went, they should put Andersen on the LTIR and get another goalie. It's clear they can't bank on him.
This seems like the route they should take.
It's one thing to play through an injury if the team and staff know. It's another to hide it from your team.
One is selfless, the other is selfish.
