Ya this statement is bad and wrong. Especially considering how well he played last night. He kept the leafs alive several times.

Officiating for the Leafs - Caps games have been horrendous. It's different then regular playoff officiating because they start off calling the game super tight. And then arbitrarily put the whistles away sometime between the 40-50 minute mark in the game. I really don't care if they call things or don't (provided it doesn't make the game too dangerous for the players). I just want consistency.

Yeah, I can take a high or low standard, but the third period let 'em play garbage with a changing standard is incredibly frustrating for everyone, and especially the players

Of the calls they did make late in the game I agreed with both, for whatever that's worth.

Andersen is a league-average starter in his career and isn't very young, I don't understand the weird insistence that he's secretly a top goalie in the league. If another goalie in this market let that OT goal from game 1 in he'd be getting crucified.

He's absolutely an NHL starter, but the guy evenly split months this season between .930 and sub .900, and people want to talk like the bad games never happen. If he was a true .920+ goalie the Leafs wouldn't be playing the Caps to begin with. He's made some great saves but he's also been extremely fortunate so far, in addition to giving up poor goals.

I think it's pretty funny to call people out for not watching him when he's actually been inconsistent all year and has a lot more Halak than Hasek in his performance so far.

the THRILL
I thought it was implied that my post was based off of each goalies regular season / career stats, not the 2 games each has played so far this postseason. Allan has stood on his head and Andersen has been fine, but I still wouldn't call them the best goalies in the playoffs.

not to mention that saying he has "2 cups" is dumb when he only started for one of them. and in '09 he had a .908 SV% in the playoffs.

MAF is to the Pens what Osgood was to the Wings. except Osgood isn't a lovely goalie (just a mere average/below average one).

I know making GBS threads on MAF is fun and often deserved but his stats are definitely better than Osgood and he didn't have the benefit of Detroit defense so let's not go overboard.

Also I can't draw my motor skills don't work right. And I went birding this morning and some nice incoming migrant warblers helped me deal with another caps failure in the postseason. And some LOONS flew over, and that's what you gotta be to be a fan of these Caps. A LOON!!!

On that note, if this past April hadn't happened I'd think Marc-Andre Fleury would be on the road to becoming the next Chris Osgood. We'll have to see how much that perception has changed after his monstrosity of a first-round series. But yeah, he's pretty average too.
