he looked good game 1 and scored, but got banged up early in the series. Saw him go to the dressing room a few times.He had a weeks rest to start the POs and that didnt help him. Stop hoping.

Just looked at the stats and if we include the playoffs and his last 19 games of the regular season, Anderson has 5 points in his last 30 games... People are speculating about an injury that happened during the first game against the Leafs, but how about before ? It's fatigue ?
Injury or not, he’d better do something offensively against Vegas. Players who can hit and not produce offensively are a dime dozens around the league, we need more than that from a guy who's paid 5.5M and is apparently a warrior.
If we can get this guy and KK going...........huge factor.I don't think we need Anderson to score every other game, but with his skillset he's a guy you should notice every night.
He has been a factor sporadically so far, but he needs to get more involved.
He did well with Drouin and Suzuki. I think KK and Anderson would benefit from a skilled playmaking winger. Just putting this out there but maybe Tatar would work on this line?

Especially against Vegas. Hard to think he wouldnt be fired up.I like the idea. I'd give Tatar another shot to show he can up his game a notch against his former team. The guy has been our most consistent offensive threat since joining the team, hard to believe he's getting benched right now.
I like KK's game, but he doesn't seem capable of driving his own line consistently yet, as opposed to a guy like Suzuki consistently making things happen for his linemates. Tatar could share the burden of creating plays. Problem is, who gets taken out of the line-up at this point, Byron?

I am curious to see, if a guy like BG being brought in to speak to the team, will have a positive effect on the crew?
I am hoping for a guy like Anderson to hit his stride here, vs Vegas the way Toffolli did vs the Jets.......hopeful.
12 points in 40 career playoff games; I wouldn't bet on him suddenly stepping up now, at his age. He's a regular season warrior, it's really no surprise he's getting scratched. It happened in Vegas too. Shameful and embarrassing for a guy of his age and experience. Hopefully we've seen the last of him.I like the idea.

He's also bigger, faster, and brings things that Tatar doesn't. He can still be a factor without scoring. Tatar on the other hand, is completely useless unless he's putting up points. Against a team like Vegas, Tatar would be eaten alive, both physically and defensively.Josh has 9 in 32.
Josh sure can lose his defensive assignments and make it harder for everyone to win games.He's also bigger, faster, and brings things that Tatar doesn't. He can still be a factor without scoring.

In any case, the coaches obviously see things the way I do because Tatar won't be starting the series against the Knights.Josh sure can lose his defensive assignments and make it harder for everyone to win games.
Tatar is better defensively and better in corners.
Anderson creates space and hits.
Both are very, very disappointing players when all is considered. Hopefully its just the injury for Josh.
Obviously they would. Hes signed for 5 more years and the other is UFA.In any case, the coaches obviously see things the way I do because Tatar won't be starting the series against the Knights.
Because they're thinking about contracts in the middle of a deep playoff run. If they thought Tatar could help the team win, he'd be playing.Obviously they would. Hes signed for 5 more years and the other is UFA.
Tatar has flamed out of the playoffs with Vegas and Montreal. What magic Genie bottle does he need to gain access to play well?I like the idea.

Injured Evans is better then tuna sadlyTatar has flamed out of the playoffs with Vegas and Montreal. What magic Genie bottle does he need to gain access to play well?
Byron>Tatar easily.
Everyone>Tatar easily
His slow doodling style works well in the regular season.He's in a slump, scored 27 already and then was on pace for 27 this year. And the guy bodychecks. Ya'll have lost your mind calling him a bad player. You guys have short memories.
Thats a helluva long slump. Closing in on 30 games with 3 goals and no assists.He's in a slump, scored 27 already and then was on pace for 27 this year. And the guy bodychecks. Ya'll have lost your mind calling him a bad player. You guys have short memories.
last 23 games injury , that's some heavy injuryJosh sure can lose his defensive assignments and make it harder for everyone to win games.

Exactly. Love the guy and hes a massive player, but hes not playing a Josh Anderson game right now.I get people want to see him as the player MTL lacked and he is provided he plays at the top of his game.
But lets call a spade a spade. He has all the tools but has been horrid for awhile now especially bad in the playoffs.
Stop blaming others or injuries, driving the net once a game and throwing a few hits isnt enough. Playing adequate defensively, winning a board battle once in awhile and plunking himself in front of the net would go a long way.
