Yes, boys and girls, Andersen=stiff.  Canada grade A, certified.  

Like most stiffs, he will have his moments here or there, the stars will align in his favour, but the body of his work screams, "Stiff!"

He's also not Grant Fuhr, as your friendly neighbourhood columnist wanted readers to infer in the accompanying article to the glazed-over stare of the vast majority of hillbilly Nation.  Well, 1 thing for sure, Mr. Shoats knows his readership, at least that Your Leafs mindless zombie part of it.

Andersen is as much Fuhr as certain posters are reasonable and open-minded.  Not much.

But, again, who cares.  When/If Your Leafs flunk out once again, the rallying commiseration, centtering on this was just a re-building year anyway will carry the day.

MLSE knows its fan base.  By missing the playoffs--again--but being in the mix after maintaining this was just a re-build, ownership can again raise prices, and the goombahs will all nod happily, as they've done for 50 years, and counting.
