Round 1: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens

[Guilt Trip]

Keefe is not Babcock, So, there is no way for Andersen to be the starter, right? RIGHT ??

Freddie could be the starter if Campbell could get hurt, sick between now and game 1. Relax, the plan is to run Campbell. If he falters or whatever, Freddie will take over.

Isn?t nice though to have Andersen as a backup option? It?s better than the no backup goalie options that the leafs haven?t had for 25 years.

Andersen is a notoriously slow starter. That would be my only concern if /when he is called into action. No way to ease him in slowly during the playoffs.

He did fine after a long layoff before playing in the bubble last summer. If he's fully healthy, I don't really have concerns about him getting up to speed.

Let?s hope so. I wonder if Andersen gets the net after 1 loss by campbell?

I?d hate to see a scenario unfold whereby the Leafs are up by two games let?s say, Campbell loses so Andersen comes in the next game, isn?t quite up to the task and suddenly the series is tied.

 

[Joe S.]

I wouldn?t say loss. I?d say bad game.

Yeah. It'll take a poor performance for Campbell to lose the net if the Leafs are ahead in the series.

Barring an absolutely terrible performance in game 1 I think Campbell is pretty much guaranteed 3 of the first 4 starts. He'll get games 1 and 2. Then him and Freddy will split games 3 and 4 because of the back to back. Assuming the series continues the staff will revaluate at that point. If Campbell looked good in his games he'll keep the net. If Campbell only looked so-so and Andersen steals his game or something then maybe he gets game 5.

The back to back is actually kind of beneficial to us in this way. Gives Andersen a guaranteed playoff start early on without the need to "take" a game away from Campbell and cause some sort of controversy.

My gut tells me Andersen comes in and stands on his head at some point and runs with it the rest of the way.

What's the word on Price and the rest of their injured brigade

Price, Gallagher, Weber, and Danault were all skating recently. We'll probably never know if they're 100% but seems likely they'll all play game 1.

I think it will depend on where the series stands and how Jack feels if Freddie gets in the B2B game.

No guarantee this is what we see game 1, but that's what they practiced with today. No Weber at practice.
