Player Discussion Josh Anderson - Power Forward 101 Edition

[tnq]

Oh wow, that's cool! Both were online yesterday! Remember that KILLger poster too, what a blast from the past.

Coincidentally, I completely forgot we ever had Chad Kilger on the habs... almost like ancient history at this point.

Josh Anderson reminds me of a young Chad Kilger, and if I recall, Kilger was pretty darn fast for a big man too.

Anderson is like Kilger, except better hands, better passing, better shot, better player.

Kilger had everything except hands

Kilger had everything except hands

+ Hockey sense, courage, desire, etc

Any updates on Josh Anderson guys? He left after being slew footed during the first period of the Jets game , and didn't return..
I' haven't heard what type of injury he has? It feels like this has been his 3rd or 4th game where he left the game early due to some sort of ailment. I hope he can stay healthy

The lack of updates is concerning and the lack of people asking is telling. That's how despondent people are about this team right now. If he's out any length of time, this could get ugly.

Thanks for the update!

 

[Hannibal]

Looked like a left knee injury from the way he felt. Hope it’s not serious, we need him.

 

[domiwroze]

Anyone has a video of the slewfoot? I missed it.

 

[Habs]

What is wrong with old panty-waist after last game? Every shift I hold my breathe wondering if this is going to be his last shift before a season ending injury.

 

[Bacchus1]

Why wasn’t that slew foot reviewed for additional suspension? There wasn’t even a call on the play.

DOPS probably has any video reviews with “From: Montreal Canadiens” setup to direct mail to their Junk filters.

[Tuggy]

He's a legit difference maker.

I really didn't expect this type of player.

Very pleasant surprise.

Hahaha oops, that was supposed to be in the GDT.

Very pleasant surprise.

He’s almost already become our marquee player.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Anyone still miss Domi??...

Nice of you to add Domi's recent production in bolded. Was curious about it! (0 point and 0 shot on goal in the last 5... )

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Hahaha oops, that was supposed to be in the GDT.

Don't worry, it's relevant everywhere

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He and Tafoli have been absolutely great pickups. Anderson has probably been our most consistent forward this year.

 

[Redux91]

Sorely missed.

 

[DavePeak]

We've been looking for quality centers for years, but we were also missing a real power forward. Anderson is exactly the definition of a great power forward but even faster (a little fragile maybe). Gives his 100% every shift, no lazy/dumb plays. Doesn't always get on the scoresheet but always brings so much energy. Fantastic pickup especially when you look at Domi this season so far. Contract might be a bit long, but at least it's not a 35+ contract.

 

[japhi]

I agree, he has been consistently good each night.

 

[JianYang]

Sorely missed.

Yeah, he stands out with his size and speed. When he's not there, you notice it big time, because nobody else on the habs brings that type of package to the game.

He's probably been my favourite forward to watch on the habs.

Now, let's trade Lehkonen for Boone Jenner or Lawson Crouse .
