I think the larger question is...
Did the Leafs do enough to defensively to lessen Andersen's nightly load?
I mean, there's playing 65 games.
then there's playing 65 games for the Leafs the past 15 seasons.
Yup, Leafs were only 4pts away from being out of the playoffs last yr. Crazy how they were 2 games away from missing the playoffs

Leafs Captaincy is coming.
Morgan Rielly
Auston Matthews
John Tavares
Who’s it going to be? I really wish they would give it to Rielly because he is by far the most deserving. Been there through it all and is great off the ice - a class act. Unfortunately it seems it’s going to Matthews. My second choice would be Tavares. Nothing against Matthews but he just doesn’t seem a good of a fit as the other two.
Rielly would be my choice too.
Then Matthews.
I just prefer the homegrown Captain
Not sure I want a big capital C on an Island Snake.

All depends on contract talks with Morgan Rielly....even though he's got 3 more yrs.

TSN just posted a picture of something.

I don't see it. If anything it looks like an A more than a C.

Link doesn’t work and I don’t see anything on TSN’s feed, must’ve deleted it. But if you watch the video the Leafs instagram posted yesterday and take a still imagine if Matthews in the beginning it sure looks like a C on his chest.
Ya they deleted it. I wonder if the Leafs were like, "Yo, wtf"

Speculation that Neuvirth is already injured. Didn’t take part in practice today and skated with the other injured players. Not on tomorrow preseason roster either.

Andersen also said his ideal GP is 55. Babcock said the standings dictate that. Babcock is right, but you need to give your backup games to start the season. Leafs only made the playoffs by like 4-5pts last yr after finishing 3-5-2 or something like that in the final 10 games.
But we all know effing Babcock, backup only comes in on B2B. Ugh. First Month though, has 4 sets of B2Bs.
First month of games:
Oct 2nd vs. Ottawa - Andersen
Oct 4th @CBJ - Backup
Oct 5th vs Mtl - Andersen
Oct 7th vs STL - Andersen
Oct 10th vs TBL - Andersen
Oct 12th @ Det - Andersen
Oct 15th vs Minny - Backup
Oct 16th @ Caps - Andersen
Oct 19th vs Bos - Andersen
Oct 21st vs CBJ - Backup
Oct 22nd @ Bos - Andersen
Oct 25th vs SJS - Backup
Oct 26th @ Mtl - Andersen
Oct 29th vs Caps - Backup
