That's not  good look from Andersen really on either of the goals. 

Not sure what else he could have done on the first goal, maybe play a little less aggressive. But he read shot. The second one, yeah even if Matthews shouldn't have let his guy get to that point that puck still probably shouldn't have gotten through him.
I think it went off Marincin foot but still not a good goal.
 
I'm not sure why Marincin is escaping blame on that goal. Feels like that's a sort of spot that a defenseman should be guarding in the event Matthews loses his man.

I guess you can call out Andersen somewhat on both of those, but that's flat out unacceptable lack of effort on 16 & 34. 
I wouldn't. 16, 34 and 52 for me.

Totally agree. He can't allow that guy to cut in front. He's the left side D man and needs to step up and fill that guy in.
 
Leafs are an incredibly soft hockey team.  I don?t quite understand it, they simply don?t want to move their legs.

He overplayed the shot.  A few of these early in the game goals have been partially due to Andersen either fumbling rebounds or overplaying shots as much as the Leafs have been awful at bad turnovers in the defensive zone.  The whole team seems to come out flat.  That seems to be a problem over and over again that maybe the coaching staff should try and work on.

Well because 52 was being hocked. That why, plus is not earning 10+ million a season IMO.
 
Outside of the turnover it really has been a game controlled by Toronto.  The team still can't draw penalties.  Sitting on 2 powerplays over the last 8 periods.

I don?t really want this one.
