If you look at the stats he has a bad year every other season.Need significantly better goaltending if we want to make the playoffs. A .896 save% wont cut it.
Ive said it before, but Anderson is slowing down since last year.
When does it become lethal?Statistics used without common sense are pretty dangerous
See, this is why it was smart to get that extension in as soon as possible. At his age, i only see him getting better, too.
Management's expectation that he'll perform similarly (for three straight years as the contract was an extension). And rewarding loyalty in getting the contract done quickly.That extension was very ill-advised. Why lock up a guy’s age-37 and 38 seasons before you know how he does at 36? Even with a quality season, was he going to get much more than 2/9.5 on the market?
I’m guessing he’s not going to be much better next year of the year after. I’m not sure how much of this is age, but getting older is not going to help.
I don't think starting your career later has any benefit to it at all. Tim Thomas could of been in the league earlier is about all you can gain from that. Average goalies look good behind a really good team. Anderson needed to be in the right situation to flourish. It's as simple as that.He started his career later though so you would think he could have more left in the tank than a lot of other starters. Kinda like how Tim Thomas was able to play stellar until his late 30's.
I don't know if this stat matters or not or tells us anything at all but our HDCF% is 25th in the league this season, but behind us are Yotes-Sabres-Canucks-Kings-Ducks-Capitals so I don't know. Andersons high danger save pct % is pretty bad this season as well.
