I wouldnt expect any cheapies like Nabokov was handing out but at the same time Anderson is not some kind of Patrick Roy or Dominik Hasek.

Exactly. I'd rather play against Anderson than Lundqvist any day.

He's played in 7 Games against Pens, and has allowed:

5 goal once
4 goals twice (including once in 9 minutes before getting pulled)
3 goals once
1 goal three times (once being in relief)

He's had some issues against the Pens

So when do we get to see game one? Ticket sites are saying Thursday that's kinda crazy though isn't it?

I'd love to see an encore of that performance!

Alot of people on twitter are saying Tuesday. What is crazy is that they are saying Game 1 is Tuesday then 2 is on Friday but then game 3 is Saturday? If the NHL does that they are (frank)ing stupid.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I believe MAF will be in net game 1.

I will say it, it's wrong. Love Fleury, but this is a results driven business in the playoffs.

I disagree. Bylsma has been loyal to Vokoun while playing well this season, and I believe that this trend will continue. Starting MAF would be borderline disrespectful to Vokoun.

Those are the two dates that I've seen too.

Tuesday seems like it would make the most sense, but I'm wondering if they are waiting to figure out Game #2 for Toronto/Boston.

If Toronto loses, you'd have to think that GM#3 would be Saturday night for NHIC, right? Likely pushing GM #2 to Thursday.

If Toronto wins, then they get the Sat night slot, and Pens/Sens play Fri/Sun.

Who knows...

Agreed. Toronto will almost definitely get the Saturday night slot if they advance.

Anything can happen, but man, did the Bruins look tired last night. And they have to turn around and play again tonight... They are really going to get a a push from the Leafs tonight.

Not sure how he doesn't, but it's such a pointless award. How can you quantify a GM's work on one season?

Unless it's a guy who made a bunch of good moves (Shero) or a new guy who makes a big splash in his first year (Bergevin), how else can you give a guy credit for one year.

Is Bryan Murray who resigned a couple of his own players having a better year than Stan Bowman even though he had a quieter year?

Jay Feaster should be the front runner.
