Sounds like Brian is on his way to Col. for Craig Anderson
WTF
Holy Fire Sale now!
Wow.
Well, the fans were screaming for a rebuild, and we sure got one. Hope Elliot does well, but I'm not sad to see him go.
If they can sign Anderson before the UFA deadline, it could be the best trade in a while for the Sens. This is the goalie you have been wanting to get for the past 10 years.
Anderson is another Leclair. Can be very good at time, awful other times. And gets hurt alot.
If you get to Scotiabank place 30 minutes before the puck drops you can play for the Sens.
Put me in nets Coach!, I'm ready to play today!
LOL, yup just like leclaire was, or was it emery who was, or gerber, or hasek,Quote:

OUCH!Quote:

Nice grammar and did you even watch Hasak play; he was cash for the Sens before injury.Quote:

Ottawa doesn't kill goalies, they just come here to die.:P
I don't think anyone is assuming Anderson is suddenly going to become a legit number one guy, but having a 50 shot shutout as his debut is certainly a great way to start.
This whole Ottawa killing goalies thing is pure nonsense though. The goalies that have tanked here have done so because they lack skill, or desire, or both.
Hasek had a .925 save percentage while he was here. That year they had 52 wins, 113 points, were first in their conference, and second overall. Hasek was the best, and also, the only true number one goalie we've ever had.
ah shivas, i though you were the one who felt lecalire would be the true number 1 goalie Ottawa had NEVER had in the past? is that not the case?
What goalie has Ottawa "killed"? You need to be a proven goalie before you can be killed by a team. Ottawa has never placed a great emphasis on goaltending, or at least thats the way it seems based on who we have traded for/ signed in the past.Quote:

Dear gracious lord.
Is it too soon to nominate Anderson for the Hart trophy?!?!?!? :laughing:
Anderson...best goalie we have had...this week! :lmfao
I agree with Sensfan, if I understand him properly. Our goalies (lalime, tugger) have been good enough to make the Cup. Hell Lalime played an unbelieavable playoff series before he was gone. Our "TEAM" has cost us, not the previous goalies. Our window is closed, until 2013 at the earliest.
No love for Anderson!!!! Funny how it goes. Always *****ing about not having a good goalie in OTT and now that you finally have one, he is doing his job and nobody is coming back here to congratulating him. Pretty decent stats for a washed-up injury prone #2 goalie.
