Yah man, our #1 goalie sucks. He's never gotten this team into the playoffs before! What a loser!
Haven't you heard?? Hammond's incredible success in the past 9 games has completely erased Craig Anderson's credibility as a starting goalie, apparently the players even forgot who he is! For every game Hammond won while Anderson was recovering, Anderson in fact got worse...because the abilities and success of a rookie AHL goalie is measured equally to a veteran NHL goalie.
Seriously though...I'm not trying to diminish Hammond's success or elate Anderson's, I'm just trying to make a point that viewing this situation in polar opposites is ridiculous...supporting Anderson does not equate to bringing Hammond down, and vice versa. And to be honest these two goalies are so far from being comparable skill wise and experience wise, which is exactly why the coaching staff gave Anderson the start tomorrow.
Hammond is too green to play in a must win game. Anderson is the reliable and more predictable choice, questioning his ability to give us a chance tomorrow is absurd.
