It's the defensive system and situational awareness that matter. If both are there, you can play Andersen or Campbell and have good chances.
We didn't have that last season. Leafs had improved tremendously earlier this year, during their winning run. They need to revert to that for the playoffs.
I can't believe how bad the tying goal by Vancouver looked on Sunday. Gee I hate that kind of system so much, with Rielly too high in his zone, almost at the blue line, for some kind of BS man to man coverage. Of course, this will leave someone completely alone with an empty net. Sorry, but it's not Jack Campbell's fault that his defensemen are out of position. You can clearly see on the play that Matthews was not expecting that system at all. (Who would?) It's a coaching mistake, not a goalie's mistake.
They didn't do that kind of nonsense earlier this season. Keep that nice box in front of the net, and the goalies will be fine.
