Have you wondered "why" Hutchinson isn't played much?
Coach Keefe said last night that Hutchinson isn't used to playing back to back games, which is why his body doesn't respond well to it. Well no wonder!! The guy never gets the chance to play very often. There's a big difference between game play & practice. Andersen needs to be traded, it's that simple. Andersen is played
far too much, but Keefe never mentioned that, did he (sarcasm here).
So, have you wondered truly "why" Hutchinson isn't played much?
I agree with Leafsfan29-Embracethedraught...I think Andersen's game has gone completely off the rails, & I do not believe he's seriously injured. He's on his knees far too much., & goals are scored over the shoulder. Opposing teams do watch videos & they know a goaltender's weaknesses. I think Andersen's "touch" has gone. I don't think he's nursing an injury,but having intense re-training. I'd like to
see him gone & Campbell as #1 goaltender.

Hutchinson clearly stinks, he's a third rate goalie that's why they try not to play him. The Leaf's played the heck out of Anderson for quite a few years and gave up a lot of prime chances with very mediocre defense. I agree he's looked worn out in recent years at times. I wouldn't trade him personally, I wouldn't even think of it because going into the playoffs with Campbell and Anderson is a lot better than any alternative they have really. Campbell is certainly #1 now.

No, I haven't wondered why at all. It's not rocket science why he's not getting games. He's the Leafs 3rd-string goaltender, and he's only getting games because Andersen or Campbell have been hurt, and would normally be on the taxi squad or with the Marlies.

Andersen's contract is up at the end of the season. His trade value is virtually nil; he's been below replacement level so far this year. Like the guy but he's either seriously injured or his game has completely gone off the rails.
