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.

      They also didn't mind it last year during four nations, or when they beat the fins lol. Sour grapes, they had 3 pf the top four players in the world on the ice when we beat them.

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      The tag for '26 is 28M. No way they tag him.  He is projected to be worth around 60M for 3 years so they could still try to sign him on an extension for about that amount: JagsWire   As someone else mentioned, the tag average factors in outside linebackers, aka, edge rushers, in the line backer formula.  If they would distinguish between olb and ilb, the ilb would get a lot less.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.
