Andersen is a 10-20 NHL starting goalie.
He's definitely not elite.

- MaximusAurelius


He's been much better than that in previous years. More like 5 to 10.

But yeah, he's been bad this year.

I've been saying this forever

Anderson isn't an elite goalie. He's average at best. Look at his numbers..... Average.

Well Ek, you’ve shown once again that you don’t know much about hockey.

Andersen a back up? In what world?

Way off base here Ek. Maybe your fly girls would have won a few rounds with a goalie like Andersen as opposed to the crap philly employed. You would have been overjoyed with him. Relax buddy. Not Andersen’s fault at all. Thought you were better than this

Toronto fans know how to run a goalie out of town. The fact that no one is even considering it with Anderson should give you some pause to think why that is.

man, I hate the leafs as much as the next guy, but to suggest that Andersen isn't a starter in this league is just asinine. he's probably not a top 10 guy, but he's at least in the top half of starters in the league...

jesus EK.....I'd say "come on, you're better than that", but it just wouldn't feel right.

fcuck, he’s not a gritty player and he gets lit up on a regular basis. there’s no one on the roster who can or will stand up for him or glassthews or anybody else for that matter 🤦‍♂️

who could blame him? just go out and get laid out every night with nobody giving a fuuk?🤦‍♂️

if him and buston get run what do you think the other “skilled players “ are thinking? their skating around with alligator arms so they get they’re asses kicked🤦‍♂️

this has been a problem for some time🤦‍♂️

this is why i haven’t had much hope for this “team “since they gave up on martin 🤦‍♂️ hockey hasn’t changed THAT much 🤦‍♂️

i would argue that they should have backed up the the brinks truck for Thom wilson or worked out a trade with greedy willi before the league realized how worthless he is🤦‍♂️

he brings more value to the craps than pencil neck, alligator arm greedy willi brings to our roster🤦‍♂️ probably less cap hit too 🤦‍♂️

there skilled and get points tho🤦‍♂️

Pretty impressive that a human being could not only have alligator arms, but learn to skate on them. I don't even know anyone that could skate on human arms.

This take on Anderson does top some of the other absurdity around here. Like the shock of the Canes in a playoff spot this year when, according to Ek, nobody expected them to be since last year was just smoke and mirrors and they also lost Justin Williams. He picked them to finish last this year and said they are a huge surprise this year. Solid take. Or how teams looking for help at center should consider Jesse Puljijarvi, who I guess is listed as a center on a couple websites, but is clearly a winger. That was a hot take. But labelling Anderson as a back-up and thinking this is the Leafs problem right now...that's gold!!

Andersen is a good goalie and 100% a starter. Leafs just dont do him any favours.

Try being an "elite" goalie playing on the leafs with how bad their defense is. Andersen is a top 5 goalie in the league, easily.

The problem is bacock. The team is losing but he keeps putting out the same lines every game. Yea, let's keep playing Ceci 21 minutes a night. Let's turn Barrie who was a 60pt defenseman into a 20pt guy. Let's not switch up the powerplay at all when it isn't working. Babcock is so set in his ways there is no climbing out of this problem with him behind the bench.

Awwwww I feel so bad for the Leafs. So much talent. and no one to help them expose it. Sometimes the the talk about this team baffles me. Almost like if their not in first place and over powering everyone, something must be wrong with the world. Oh well, sometime teams just don't gel, no matter how many stars you squeeze on it. Get over it, learn some humility.
