bad Andersen is back

Just correcting back to the goalie he's always been, I thought I was going crazy when people started talking about him like he'd be a .930 goalie forever

For all their size difference, I think Carrick is better at most physical parts of a D-man's game than Polak. Playing in front of the net, knocking someone off the puck, etc.

It's interesting because one thing that Carrick mentioned when he was scratched earlier in the year was that the coaches wanted him to be smarter about when he chose to engage physically. He's not bad at it but that might be why he was doing it too often.

Roman Polak just sucks at everything, his physicality is entirely shoving dudes after whistles.

Andersen's 27, 28 this year. He's not old but it's kinda unlikely that he's going to find another gear. He's about an average goalie, meaning he'll have hot streaks and cold streaks.

He's really, really struggling tonight though, hoo boy.

The other thing about Andy is that he re-entered the draft after not signing with the Canes, so his NHL career and contract status belies his age/development.

Terrible start but the Leafs are clawing back pretty well. Andersen having no control/composure is going to be an issue though

Hey Jackets, why did you play well for the most part against the Rags, then have a pretty good game and steal a point last night, but are now playing like relative poo against New Jersey?

I've always been unempressed by Marincin. He's not as bad as Hunwick or Polak but he's guaranteed at least one big fuckup a period.
