Didn’t watch. Was Anderson bad?
No.
A trend in this game was that the Senators were causing themselves tons of trouble with how they managed the puck when trying to maintain the offensive zone, and this would lead to FLA countering and scoring. 2/4 goals that I saw were a direct result of this, with 1/4 being an indirect result (I gave up a few minutes ago 7 minutes left in the 2nd so I can't comment on anything after that.)
The first goal against Anderson was the only one that came from an actual in zone hockey play where he could realistically be blamed. It was a point shot that was tipped in front. Maybe it's hanging a goalie out to dry to say a tip was on him.
Second goal came at the end of a shift when the forwards were tired. Right side D had pinched and Smith was the last man back. He made a bad choice to try and prevent the breakout at the blue line rather than retreat and play it safe covering for the D who made the failed pinch, lead to a 2 on 1 against Mark Borowiecki who then slid NHL 15 style. Can't really blame Anderson there.
Third goal was the one indirectly caused by a FLA counter with the Senators once again doing a poor job of maintaining the offensive zone. Same thing, failed pinch (Boro), the forward (Chlapik) failed to recognize the D pinching and did not sufficiently cover. Odd man rush the other way. Ceci saves a possible goal here with his play defending the 2 on 1. All is going well until Gaborik just decides to take a nap and let Dadonov sneak in completely uncovered right behind him. I can't tell because of the angle on TV, but I don't even think Ekblad is in the zone at this point yet Gaborik chooses to cover against Ekblad's shot while letting Dadonov just chill out waiting for a shot at the right side of the net. Dadonov is uncovered for what feels like an eternity. Some EASHL shit going on here. So in short, Anderson has to contend with a completely uncovered man in a high danger area because of Gaborik.....so not really his fault here.
Fourth goal. Again, another goal that comes from the Senators being unable to manage the puck at their opponents blue line and the Panthers countering. This time, it's Sieloff who makes a bad decision to pinch when his D-partner (Harpur) is already caught in deep. This leads to a bouncing puck against Gaborik who shows his age of 104 by being blown away by McCann who scores on the break away. Again, not Anderson's fault.
I think the pull was a mercy pull because Anderson was being hung out to dry. Honestly, from what I saw, there's a very common trend to the goals tonight. They almost all came directly or indirectly from the team executing Boucher's system poorly and making bad choices at their opponents blueline. Whether this is on the players, or whether it is on Boucher for having what might be a futile system that is hard to properly execute, I don't know. I honestly haven't been paying enough attention to the last dozen or two games to know if this is a more common trend for where our breakdowns (and eventual goals against) usually occur.
