I feel the same. Anderson was playing at a very high level before his injuries. 

When Anderson is fully healthy (which I am is what they are waiting for right now and he's close) He simply doesn't have to expend the same kind of energy Raanta does to make saves due to his size, he is also less likely to give up softies on mental lapses.

I don't think Anderson will start until Game 3, if he's ready. I'm not sure you test him on home ice when you already have the advantage. No sense in experimenting and giving NY any chance to steal a road game.

I'm fine with that Raanta Is similar (although better than) Mrazek in that he's much better at home were he can feed off the crowd.... Anderson just has ice water in his veins because he knows exactly were our defense will allow angle shots and his size allows him to swallow them up.

Raanta just scare the crap outta me when the puck is behind him and the net. He always seems to be looking over the wrong shoulder.

That too he's frantic when the puck is behind the net, He's not close to being as strong at holding the post.... Even with the non-goalie interference call vs Boston I feel about 90% sure that isn't a Goal with Anderson in net.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
