Anderson Out For 2nd Round. Per NHL.com


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the NHL Buzz. Throughout the 2021-22 season, NHL.com will have you covered with the latest news.

 

Carolina Hurricanes

Frederik Andersen is doubtful to play for the Carolina Hurricanes against the New York Rangers during the Eastern Conference Second Round.

The goalie has not played since sustaining a lower-body injury April 16. Andersen has not practiced during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said he was hopeful Andersen could play at some point in the postseason.

The Hurricanes will host Game 1 of the best-of-7 series against the Rangers at PNC Arena on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; ESPN, SNE, SNO, SNP, TVAS).

"I would hope so, especially if we can move on," Brind'Amour said. "Until he gets out there with us, you might as well stop asking me."

Antti Raanta had a 2.37 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in six first-round games against the Boston Bruins, including 27 saves in a 3-2 win in Game 7 on Saturday. He missed Game 3 because of an upper-body injury.

"[Raanta] is the guy," Brind'Amour said. "Until 'Freddy' even touches the ice, it's not even a conversation. Antti obviously has been great."
 

 

looks like Raants is our guy again. Let’s go!

I don't think we need him vs the Rangers but we will vs Tampa

I'm not sure about that. With Anderson out the Rangers have by far the best Goalie in the league. We can't give up 3 every game and hope to win.

Igor has been boarderline trash in round 1. We worked him last time we played him. Goalies don’t play other goalies. Raanta will be just fine.

If we pelt Shesterkin with shots then we’ll be fine.

Raanta’a been solid, he has a .927 sv% through the first round and has been elite at home.

Kreider had an outlier season this year, the Rangers are another one line team without the same level of consistency or defensive play from sold line as the Bruins.... they have little depth Shesterkin has not settled in to playoff hockey he was out of position so many times in game 7 agaist the pens he had to have a rabbit's foot up his butt not to give up 8 or 9.

    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
    • Thank you for all the release metaphors!  It's helped make my morning 😃 But no...just eww..
