Best scenario for everyone involved would be for Andersen to get injured and Leafs bring up Bibeau or Sparks.

Meh...
Not a lot of time left for the Jets.
EDIT: Stars win. Yay. Second half of this home and home should be interesting.

They're any better?
? I know you've got a hard-on for the Canucks, but Benning has drafted well overall (or at least his team has). Virtanen was always a poor pick even at the time, but he's still 'commended' otherwise.
Leafs will get more. But Matthews will be ROY no doubt.
what do you say NHL-GAF?
I already had a banner printed for most points after 1 game, I should have waited...

What'd you guys do to Frederik Andersen?

At least Andersen didn't have a regulation loss until now
corny attempt at hating on a kid doing something cool, it's not "6 games" it's his first 6 games ever played in the nhl, it's an impressive thing to do
if he was a blue jacket or something people would give him props and move along rather than reacting with hostility

Bernier injured. We'll take back Andersen. You have to pay most of the salary though
That would be Anti-Carlyle 2012-2013 Leafs, yikes
👀
not hating on Matthews lol, just joshing with leafs-gaf
and if he was a blue jacket he'd have been traded to la by now

Waiting on my Gwent beta invite...
So apparently Subban played&got pulled for the 2nd time in his 2nd NHL game.
ouch.
same. When are they supposed to go out?
Civ in the meantime has me hooked. Fuck Religion, but districts are the greatest addition to Civ in a long time.

Invites go out today.
Religion is pretty weird, you can't build up a defense in the late game if you haven't properly invested. Plus it seems like your religion can die. Gandhi invaded me with a flood of apostles. It's a little weird there's no UN either, bet that'll be an expansion. Diplomacy can be iffy right now. Yeah, love the districts, I always feel like I can do better, which is nice.
Also kind of eliminates the "let me just build everything" endgame that usually happens - you gotta plan your districts/cities more according to your win strategy and diversify. Campus near mountain city, commercial hub near rivers, etc. I like it.
And yeah, endgame religion is just a damn zerg-rush. Honestly I think what I'll do next time it happens is declare war and mow down the religious units with my army. NO YOU WILL NOT CONVERT MY CITIES. Or build a wall. Of Apostles.
Or I'll just keep doing what I did last game and play as Kenya lol.
and yeah, once you have all your cities converted to something else you're screwed. All you can do is isolate your cities and hope that over time your founder-holy site converts a city back because that's the only pressure you have left from that original religion.
He was at least 5 feet from the net. Not sure his wrist shot could even reach it
Something to consider for Leafs-Age:
everyone is giving Andersen and the defenders a lot of flak atm, and justifiably. But they are icing four forward lines, and only one of them is any kind of good in their own end (the Kadri line).
the Matthews line is 3 rookies so what can you expect defensively from them?
with JVR-Bozak-Marner, Marner might be the most defensively sound of the three. that's... a problem!
and the 4th line as it currently stands is just whatever. they hardly play.
a line shuffle might be a good idea. the only two players that I would not consider splitting up at this point are Matthews and Nylander.

Andersen uses mostly his size and solid technique to stop shots, plays the percentages. He's kind of out of position, a little too aggressive, skates should be top of the blue paint not past it. Doesn't have the athleticism to react to rebounds and redirects. Just needs to adjust a bit and get used to having Toronto's defense.
You know, Clayton Stoner is very available for future considerations (or nothing in return). He'd help Andersen get back into fine form

man, almost perfect in OT. Just a turnover. Good game considering the injury to Getzlaf and Bernier. Plus San Jose being the finest team in the western conference
At least Stecher was mostly solid. Dude has some skill
I may have bet a friend when they were 4-0 that they'd be under .500 by December...looking good right now.
That's what I'm seeing as well, and some goaltending experts on twitter have pointed out similar things. but babcock said they aren't trying to coach him to change his style so idk
ultimately i don't care if he sucks for a couple months even if it tanks the season, since Leafs aren't making the playoffs anyway. hopefully he figures it out eventually, cuz he's here for the long haul.

I can't tell what is going on with Andersen. The opposition seems to have so many high danger scoring chances that it's impossible to tell whether or not he's being told to do something different, or he's feeling he has to do something different.
