Craig Anderson will start tomorrow.

Would of rather had Lehner in to get the chance to prove himself against Lundqvist. And based on last nights game, Andy doesnt deserve the start.

I think the reason Andy is starting is because this team has finally jelled. If you don't start him, you are telling him, "we would have won if it weren't for you, loser." I'm sure he already knows he cost the team the game, but you don't want to put your teammates on the spot like that. Give him a chance to prove himself, he was playing really well for like 10 straight games, and I'm sure he can do it again.

That said, I was hoping Andy would have played well against Montreal so that Lehner could start this weekend sans issue.

If Andy struggles, this place will implode.

 

[MainDotC]

Andy is 6 - 0 - 2 in his last 8 starts. Lehner couldn't do that down in Bingo much less up here.

I hope VLC is working because this will be blacked out in my area...ya know...because Morrisville is so close to the NYC area...

 

[Super Cake]

I would have liked to see lehner start, but whatever i guess.

Maclean gave Anderson a ton of rope to find his game and it finally seemed to pay off til last night's OT stinker.

I have faith in Maclean now that if Andy falters again, he's not going to hesitate to go back to Lehner.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Anderson back in is the obvious choice. Don't want to shatter his confidence after yesterdays game. Rebound game. Hopefully

 

[Qward]

Hope he bounces back. Just a bad game. Shrug it off.

 

[MainDotC]

I think the real matter with which we should be concerned is whether or not the Kaptain will be in the lineup.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Playing Anderson is fine. The thing that the 'Stache did wrong was not pulling him after the 2nd (or 3rd) goal yesterday.

 

[Qward]

I think the real matter with which we should be concerned is whether or not the Kaptain will be in the lineup.

If Neil is in, I doubt it

 

[Benjamin]

Best players play!

OTA antenna doesn't pick up CBC from Morrisville?
edit: just checked, no.

Anderson did not lose the game for us yesterday, Cowen did. If Cowen doesn't score in his own net, the game ends as a 4-3 victory for us in regulation time.

Pretty much my thoughts...just one of those games.

 

[RedWhiteBlackGold]

Anderson did not lose the game for us yesterday, Cowen did. If Cowen doesn't score in his own net, the game ends as a 4-3 victory for us in regulation time.

It was 3-0 Montreal on like 7 shots in the first...Anderson didn't help much with this one.

Cowen fudged up for sure, he's part of the reason we lost but he's not the only reason.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Biggest game of the year!

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I hate it when our coaches show confidence in players. What are they thinking?

 

[Indrew]

Best players play!

Anderson is better than Lehner, yesterday and today. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[Benjamin]

Anderson is better than Lehner, yesterday and today. Maybe tomorrow.

Not yesterday.

 

[Indrew]

Not yesterday.

We'll never know.

 

[Icelevel]

Not yesterday.

he just has to be better than the other team's goaltender. neither would have outplayed price yesterday.

 

[WhiteLight*]

you didn't have to outplay Price to win. You just needed to be solid

What are you talking about? He's shown zero confidence in Lehner and Wiercioch. Zibanejad at the start of the year. He treats players unfairly
