Anderson didnt steal us a game.
Rask did.
Billington, rask, jones, bobo all stole games for their teams this playoffs.
Anderson did not.
Also, if you look back at Anderson's playoff game seven performances, he doesnt have a very good record.
Is this the result of his play or the play of the team or both?
I choose to believe that anderson has a problem in high stress situations like game 7s.
Ridiculous? Maybe. But the facts show that anderson isnt a dependable showdown type of goalie.
Without a doubt, anderson is the best goalie the leafs have had since belfore.
During the regular season, anderson was amazing for the leafs.
The problem is that if the leafs hang onto Anderson this season, and he shuts the bed in the playoffs AGAIN, his value will very low.
Sometimes, as many of you know, it might be in the best interests of the team to trade while his value is still very high.
Who can the leafs get to replace him? I dont know. But I do know that one more playoffs like the past 3, then his value to other team as well as the leafs, will be nil.
Anderson was directly responsible for 2 losses vs washington, the goal wilson scored against him was horrible.
Against the bruins, he has continued to let in weak goals.
Yes the pk and the pp were both inefficient and ineffective, but I think that was more to do with coaching then the players themselves.
Finally, I ask you all again (same as I did around last dec) why do the leafs even need a forth centerman?
If johnnyt and Matthew's each get their 21-22 minutes a game, and kadri gets his 17, the math shows there really is no minutes for a forth centerman. And to boot, nylander can always jump in to fill in as the forth when needed.
Use tavares and Matthew's on the damn PK you stupid twat babcock.
