It's been inconsistent- Anderson, when he's on his game is lights out. When he's not on his game, the Sens are just about a bottom-10 team. As he ages there's gonna be more "off his game" seasons.

Hey, take a look at the Standings, the Senators have the 8th best record in the NHL.

No amount of idiotic spin, will convince anyone over a grade 2 education, that Ottawa is realty a "bottom" 10 team.







BTW, looks like Condon starts tonight, so good thing they're putting in their "lucky goaltender" as he's much younger, and not "off his game" .......... perhaps a "lucky hot streak" eh?

A look at history is all you need. Ottawa goes with their goaltending. They haven't had a good roster in years, but have had hot goaltending on and off. This is one of their "on" years. Last year was an "off" year. The trend continues pretty consistently going back.

As for your final point, I think you misunderstood what I said, but that's not surprising.

No. I didn't see it. Without having to read it, Sens are obviously ranked first having 3 of the top 2 prospects.

that's only because they include guys like Matthews, Marner, and Nylander.

Get rid of those three, and Ottawa comes close!


The pre-draft prospect rankings always are pretty wonky. It's how Brayden Schenn and Cody Hodgson were the greatest prospects in teh world! for a time.

You forgot Filip Chlapik! How will they find room for 4 of the best 2 players in the world outside the NHL? I mean, they're the odds on favourite to win the cup already, spazzo tells me.

Those sens. They're the greatest of all time.

what I'm saying is, he's better than most when on his game, but more inconsistent on a season/season basis. And the Sen's lack of quality skaters means they are far more at the whim of their goaltending.

Easy, they traded away Dahlen, otherwise we'd be hearing how they have 5 of the best 2 prospects.

Well yeah, but Anderson goes on long stretches of top notch play. Like comparable to top 5 in the NHL. then disappears and is terrible. His season to season stats are all over the place too.

He's far more inconsistent than most goalies in the NHL.

He's a decent, even above average goalie, overall. But he's too old, he won't be around by the time the Sens can compete for the cup. He's the same age as Belfour when he signed with the Leafs. Belfour had 2 good seasons, then totally fell apart. Anderson is at the age that, you have no idea if he's going to even be starter caliber next season. Very few goalies last in the NHL to the age he is right now. I looked a little while ago, and he's the third oldest goalie in the NHL IIRC.

In recent years, almost like clockwork, he alternates between good seasons and bad seasons. On top of that, half his seasons he plays less than 40 games, half of them he plays more. He's really all over the map.

You have to remember, that's the advantage of having so many players ready to step in as elite NHLers. They can trade a few away because they don't need them. Or draft picks. What good is a draft pick, when you've got all the best players in the whole wide world about to play for your team? Anyone you draft would just end up playing on your farm team. Might as well just trade them all away, instead of having them sit there trying to crack the greatest roster on earth, which is obviously futile.

When a goalie plays well the teams tend to do well..shocking

I think you are overstating how inconsistent he is...if you look at any goalies you will see similar trends

Sens starting Condon. They will not do anything to help Leafs stay ahead of Tampa. I don't think Sens start Anderson in any game that involves a team in a fight for the last wild card spot.

Interesting choice by the Sens to start their backup tonight. You'd think they'd be more interested to put some distance between themselves and a divisional rival, and not trying to lose a game to help another team in the chase for the playoffs pass the Leafs.

Or maybe they just don't want to finish too high in the division, out of fear of facing the rangers in the first round.

Either way, questionable coaching.

- senstroll

His inconsistency goes beyond the regular ups and downs of a goalie. You can't consistently count on him to be able to start a game. The guy has been injured a lot. Not a trait you want in the guy who's keeping your team together.
