F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
I have no doubts he'll be fine. When I watch Andersen I see a fundamentally good goalie. He has let in some questionable goals but not at the level of "Bernier stinkers", and generally watching him I don't ever get a sense of discomfort or fear of a puck going near him like I did with Leafs goalies of the past.
Even McElhinney got extremely lucky many times last night. That's not to take anything away from him because he did play well, but he was scrambly and let out some huge rebounds. Leafs D did a good job of protecting the slot yesterday and recovering loose pucks before Dallas could get to them.
I fully expect Andersen to finish the year with a sv% in the ballpark of ~.918-.920
If he can finish the season right around his career % mark of 0.917 but play a full starting goalie's workload (~65 games), I'm pretty content ... First year as a full starter undoubtedly tested his endurance so staying at his career mark is a solid goal. Going forward it would be nice to see him improve however.
