Habs should offer Mrb1p a 1 week contract to play on KKs wing, much better option

All joking aside, he is clearly injured and based on the way his stride looks, I'd be willing to bet money it's lower body.

I think he has a hand injury as well. There were a couple times where he was in scrums and clearly was only engaging with one hand.

Thatd be worse for KK, instant career ender.

Habs fans, what’s the injury if you had to guess?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Habs fans, what’s the injury if you had to guess?

...looks like a knee to me...he's not moving around as well as he normally does...

 

[majormajor]

Habs fans, what’s the injury if you had to guess?

Back.

He's missing power in both his shot and his stride.

 

[le_sean]

Not many guys in the league of his size that can move and shoot and pass as well as him

Skate and shoot, sure. He’s an awful passer though.

 

[Canadienna]

Habs fans, what’s the injury if you had to guess?

Haha you've gotten two different answers, but in my opinion it looks like his hand(s).

He's bobbling the puck frequently but still laying hits and occasionally rushing the net.

Maybe it's his hands, back and knees

 

[ForsbergForever]

For everyone saying he likely got hurt in game 1 of the Leafs series, how do you explain him going goaless in his last 20-ish regular season games?

 

[Szechwan]

How about before ? He ended the season with 4 points in his last 19 games... He was injured too ?

Yeah I think Anderson is just a super streaky player, like many big men are; it takes a lot to play that game. Anderson has been known to go completely silent for long stretches of the season for his whole career; he started the season hot, and was pretty mediocre for the back half.

That contract won't age well, but hopefully he finds his game against Vegas.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Anderson has been invisible up to this point. If he was injured, I hope he recovered during the break. The Habs need all hands on deck in the series against the Knights.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I hate byron on that line. He might be injured, but he was very physical in the last 2 games vs the jets at home.
Still very useful, even if he's injured.
let's not forget he's missed 3-4 easy goals in the 11 games

 

[TT1]

def needs to start waking up, at the very least throw your body around some more

he usually loves hitting and finishing his checks so i find it a bit odd that he hasn't been more physical throughout the playoffs, could be injured

 

[The National]

He looks to have recovered.

 

[Ezpz]

Having a better game, rest has done him good. I'm sure he's not 100% but he's creating chances again which is good for the Habs, it gets all four lines rolling.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

That one rush he had was something we hadn’t seen in a while. Looks like he’s fresh again. Hopefully it lasts lol.

Ideally Drouin would be there. A playmaking LW would benefit both KK and Anderson. Byron makes the line much more of a simple north south line. Not a lot of passing or direction changing with those 3.

 

[TeddyBare]

Stop telling me he brings other things to the table
this is completely unacceptable

 

[Toene]

Hugely overrated. Needs to bring more.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

David Clarkson without the skill.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I like his game - he's fast, physical and big and very noticeable on the ice - but some Habs fans are sour on him. But then Habs fans get pretty sour on lots of things...

 

[Garbageyuk]

Habs fans, what’s the injury if you had to guess?

His ass because he looks like he's half-assing every shift.

I thought it was the shoulder But seeing other responses.

He slowed down at the end of the season

He was implicated in the first game against Toronto, since then, not much.
It's pure speculation

Same thing with Tatar, he played 5 games, nothing since then.

I'm trying to understand that stat...
Martin (13), Komarov(13) and Stephenson(14) played more games and have 0 goal.

Even though they said scored, they meant total points. Although even then Matt Martin has 0-0-0 statline.
