He's no longer banned, so you can just ask him instead of projecting things on to him.

I get that. We agree on some things and disagree on others.

I don't think he's an idiot. ...but I do think he underestimates how far along this team is. For almost 15 years this team stunk and in many ways ug was right about what needed to happen. I think he is having a hard time believing that this team is close to contender status. And that's his perogative. I. When it's been such a poopshow for so long and you're used to second guessing this team...it's kind of hard to alter that perspective even if things seem to be going good.

Leafs played well, so of course the idiot has to complain about something.
- Steven_Seagull


i wouldn't be sad if we traded one of mcbackup or pickard.

but if we airing our complaints, The Bozek and the Polek can go.

hell, jvr can go to if we upgrade those 2.

I'd keep Bozak for the playoffs, he's not having nearly as good a season as last year but he's not useless, and center depth is important.

Polak will be getting big minutes as long as babcock is in charge

I'd trade JVR only if they can get a current top 4 dman in return, but I can't think of a time able to do this that would be willing to

So the topic today is backup goalie? As for gp..Pickard only got into one game while he was up with Andy still carrying the load. I don't think Babcock doesn't trust Curtis. I think he's just a coach who rides his starter.. especially when he's been as good as andys been.

If Player A is struggling and is being rightfully criticized - he defends them.

If Player B is playing well and is being praised - he complains.


He picks and chooses stats that suit his argument and dismisses whatever goes against him. He’s an annoying troll that should get the UG treatment again. It’s not because I disagree with him on somethings, I disagree with plenty of people here, I don’t want them banned. He’s a troll who has to start arguments because he feels the need to always be right.

Bozak will be kept for playoff depth.
JVR will walk at the end of the year.

I could seriously see Ugee being Berger. That would explain a lot.

The Polak train is just getting warmed up for the playoffs, even if we make a trade he's ahead of Cyborg and Carrick.

Go Vegas Go

When he first came on the Toronto sports scene, I wondered if he was just a complete phony - nobody could be that awesome.

I was wrong.

- Atomic Wedgie


He really is that awesome.

Maybe the only person I can think that I can't imagine anyone not liking.

Yeah, if only we had a guy with a GAA of 2.55, a Sv% of .925, making league minimum.
- Atomic Wedgie


I'm just saying, if he's that good, play him more often. If he's not and can't be trusted to play more often, then get somebody who can play more than 8 games by the All-Star break so Andersen doesn't get burned out by the playoffs. It's really basic poop here.

MackleBaby plays great, and you complain. (frank) off UG.
- Steven_Seagull


Where did I complain about his play against Dallas? I'm saying play him more often or get somebody the coach trusts to play more than 8 games by the All-Star break. Put your hate-on away.

No I'm not because they finally rebuilt the team the proper way by tanking and drafting high. I wonder who said that was the way to go?

This team will be a contender, it's just a matter of when. Many Leafs fans, as is the norm, think it's this year or really soon and that the sky is falling because of the salary cap so they have to start trying to contend right now or else they'll miss their chance. I think they have more things to get done and it's going to be longer than that. Simple.

This is classic Uggie.

Fault the Leafs because two years ago, they signed career backup MakeASavey instead of career backup Hutton - even though though MakeASavey had better SV% numbers. I should point out that at the time, Uggie wouldn't have been able to pick Hutton out of a police lineup.

Last year, our guy actually had a percentage point better SV% than Hutton.

But this year, playing for a team that is significantly better on the blue line, the Blues' backup goalie is doing well - so MLSEL management is incompetent.

It's weird how guys like Uggie and Tanner have all the answers, yet the hockey world refuses to listen to them.

Classic Wedgie, creating a straw-man argument. I never said that.

If you want Andersen to play fewer games, find a new coach: Babcock rides his #1; always has, always will.

And what happens if Andersen gets hurt at some point? It may not happen this year or even next year, but playing that many games, facing that many shots and him being a bigger goalie, it all adds up eventually.
