IMO, Andersen will start as soon as he is considered healthy

Playing the guy who has a .903 SV% since March of 2019 over the hot hand is a bold strategy, Cotton. There’s no time in a 56 game season for Andersen to figure it out again.

They need to acquire another goalie because Andersen has shown that he’s no longer good enough, and Campbell despite his season is a question mark. I don’t think anyone believes Andersen is the goalie that takes them deep in the playoffs when he’s flat out regressed the past two seasons.

I missed this one celebrating my Pops 60th! We ended up spending most of the night outside/in the garage because, well f*** you know. We’re both diehards, and couldn’t believe the score line when we saw. Huge come back and a bunch of slump busters! Engvall, Tavares, Nylander and of course boy wonder!

Dad’s got the game recorded and is probably watching it as I type this. I’m not as fortunate - anyone know a place I can re-watch the entire 60? If you could drop me a PM it would be hugely appreciated!

Go Leafs Go!!!

Maybe Tavares takes the draws and Galchenyuk plays center? That way JT can play Left wing and Nylander RW. A lot to ask of Galchenyuk but he's surrounded by a seasoned vet and another high skill player.

I mostly just want Tavares carrying the puck less and focusing more on finding soft spots on the ice and using his shot. Should keep his legs fresher too.

Yeah. Nylander and Galchenyuk can both skate and have better zone entries then JT. Let them carry it and cycle it to JT and let him make plays with it. The line certainly has the most interesting combo and skillset.

Over the years the only successful keepers we ever had were those that stood on their heads. This organization year in year out fails miserably at team defense. Look no further than Carolina with James Reimer .907 Save% with a 13-4 record. Is he any better than Andersen?

i think the jury is still out. If Reimer can lead Carolina to the Stanley Cup final then yes. IMHO Reimer is a better goaltender and team mate (Campbell is a lot like Reimer in that respect). He didn’t get the credit he deserved while in Toronto. Most of the blame for game 7 was placed solely on him even though he outright stole games 5 & 6 and was instrumental in getting the Leafs to their first postseason in over a decade. The Bernier trade and Reimer’s demotion was salt to the wound

Last year we had Barrie with countless bonehead giveaways, This year JT leads that charge. It is time to remove players that can't or won't play defense. Our goalies are flopping around on the ice all too often, then the commentators, tells us that is their style. LOL....
 
I missed the game. Avoiding learning the outcome so I could watch it. What a rollercoaster of a game that was. Buds dominated from puck drop just couldn't get past Smith. Didn't like the first goal Campbell gave up, but when they needed him to make a save he did.

i have more confidence in Hutch, Woll, or Vilain than Andersen (who would be playing with an injured body and impaired confidence)

I have a zero confidence in freddy winning a playoff series even at his peak level, Dubas is in a jam right now, with this goalie situation

  1. hope freddy regains his skill
  2. hope campbell can be a #1 for the first time ever
  3. or make a trade for a number 1
 
Great comeback win for the Leafs tonight, I thought we outplayed Edmonton a good chunk of that game apart from stretches in the 2nd period. Only negative thing about tonight is our powerplay, we have had chances to swing the game in our favor with some powerplays but we can't put the puck in the net.
