I find this goalie issue similar to the "[insert superstar name] never wins" issue.
These guys are all putting it together, and Andersen no different than the rest.
Ceci + Bracco (and whatever other secondary asset it might take) for Lehner.
Bring Liljegren up. If he can't handle it, switch Derms or Marincin over.
gonna be a tough pill to swallow for the media that their hero Freddy is actually the biggest weakness on the team.
I still think Fred is well good enough to put together the hot streak that wins a cup, but many goalies are. He's just not dependable enough to be our only roll of the dice, though.
A pill they will never ever swallow. They will always blame the defense.gonna be a tough pill to swallow for the media that their hero Freddy is actually the biggest weakness on the team.
You see Fred as "putting it together"? He's having his worst season yet with the Leafs.
That's not even close to true. He had one good month. He's been shit since the beginning of December.Up until a few games ago, he was having the same season he's always had with us. If there's one thing about him, it's consistency. He'll go on a tear and get right back up to his usual numbers.

He is consistent in the fact that he will likely finish off the year at .918

How he gets there is the problem. We cant afford month long stretches of subpar play at this point
