Not saying that I don't want Vanacek to be okay and play, because at this point he's the better goalie or else he wouldn't be the starter, but lack of experience is nothing you should be worrying about. Andersen has a ton of playoff experience... Didn't know that. I think the announcers said that Anderson played in only 4 games this year. Vanacek is the #1 goalie. Not saying that Anderson can't get hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The concern with Anderson isn’t experience, it’s fitness and stamina. If Sammy is ready, it’s go time. #capsinsix 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't expect **** when Reirdon was behind the bench. Felt the SAME way. I expected this team to win tonight and they did so, I’ve heard that games 2, 3 and 4 are on NBCSW. I’m in SC for my brothers wedding for the week, will it be shown to out of state too? Edited May 16, 2021 by Cooleyfan1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was yelling at the TV on that play. Raffl had everyone beat to both sides. 4 hours ago, mammajamma said: Lots of skaters falling down on their own, and lots of stalled pucks. Feel like the ice isn't 100% I saw about 4 Bruins wipe out trying to forecheck behind our net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Well that was a shocker. Caps can't win faceoffs, calls were going against them all night and Anderson was giving up rebounds. This team is not playing as they did a month ago, I still don't like their chances. But boy was last night fun. OT in the NHL playoffs is about as good as sports gets.

Put all that together, and the Caps still controlled the game. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I absolutely love the playoffs. Today will be great if the Isles beat the Pens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Isles take the lead with a few minutes remaining in the game. Well ****. Pens tie the game right up after a dumb play by the Isles in their offensive zone gave up the puck for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) That's game! Suck it, Pittsburgh. Just like the Capitals, the Islanders saw their starting goaltender go down in the first period, and then won in the first overtime. Edit: Looks like I was wrong; I missed the first period and thought I heard something about Varlamov going down, but I guess he completely missed the game.

Thank goodness for the win. Huh? Here are some hard facts about Anderson that you have missed... Anderson was the 15th-oldest goalie in NHL history to play a playoff game. In 47 postseason games (46 starts) during his 18-season NHL career, Anderson is 24-22 with a 2.32 GAA, a .929 save percentage and four shutouts. His save percentage is second in NHL history among goalies with at least 40 playoff games, behind Tim Thomas (.933). Moreover... "I've been here before so I can share my experiences with Vitek and [Samsonov], and to now get the opportunity to live what I've been telling them, it's a great feeling to kind of be involved and be a part of it," Anderson said Saturday. "Obviously we're going to miss [Vanecek] with him coming out like that, but at the same time the guys are all looking to each other to bond together and pull together on this rope and I'm right there with those guys doing everything I possibly can to do my share."

Good to know and it gives me more faith in Anderson to come in and possibly be like Holtby taking over for Grubauer in 2018. Comparison might be a little too much given the end result that year, but who knows. Edited May 16, 2021 by SAli457180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 After the way Vanecek was walking off the ice, I don't think anyone expected him to be on the ice today. It looked bad. Like he tore/pulled his groin muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
