If this is true, then I wish all the best to Mr. Anderson in his Post NHL Playing career. He always struck me as an overachiever and and I found him easy to cheer for as a result.

I remember him going on amazing streaks of play in the Playoffs with the Avs against the Sharks as well as backing the Sens on their lengthy run to Game 7 against the Pens a few years ago.

He showed so much poise and class that Season after his Wife was diagnosed with Cancer. Together as a couple they were (and are) great role models for how sports celebrities conduct themselves in times of crisis.

Happy trails to you,

Always liked the guy, was glad he got a couple starts with my team, the Caps. Went out on a high note.

Anderson had a career .913 save percentage in 18 seasons as an NHL goalie.

Anderson’s best years were in Ottawa but after 10 seasons in Ottawa he signed for 1 season as a taxi squad goalie and played well when called upon.

I've always been a fan of Anderson. Glad he got some big games with the Caps at the end.

Seemed like he was always playing over his head and proving people wrong. Gotta love it.

Mr. Anderson didn’t come here to tell us how it’ll end, he came here to tell us how it’s going to begin.

Class act, happy trails to the dude.

One of the most underrated goalies in the post-lockout era. Consistently good every year but never got any crazy recognition. But now he should. IMO he was an ageless wonder that was still solid to the end. Can’t believe he’s 40 and played a game in 2002 lol
