Craig Anderson re-injures hand

[Big Ev]

Do you know something we don't? Is there a rift with Anderson and the coaching staff/management? Come on Ev, dish for us...he didn't like his new nickname, "Triple B" (Burger Boy's Backup)?

I have to say, him "re-breaking" his hand is awfully convenient...just sayin'!

I don't know a thing. My prediction is that he is the one who will be traded, because they will for sure be trading Lehner or Anderson this summer. Anderson has more trase value, and a great contract. I'd rather roll with Lehner and Hammond - that way you still have an older guy with more experience, and a young guy still trying to prove it. San Jose, Buffalo, Edmonton, would be great fits for Anderson.

Big useless piece of trash. Why'd I trade for this fool? He singlehandedly cost my leagues of winning first. Traded for him in early Feb hoping for 10 wins or so but only 2 pathetic starts in last 30 days. Just wow.

He got injured. What can you do.

Maybe it's time to go get the Hamburgler if he's still available and drop Anderson... particularly if your championship dreams could end soon.

He was also a big contributor to a lot of fantasy teams earlier in the year, putting up some excellent numbers. It's a crappy time for him to get hurt (I know because as I as mentioned earlier, both he and Lou are hurt on my playoff team right now) but he was also an excellent fantasy asset for me earlier this year.

Pewp happens man. It just sucks it happens at this time of year.

It's clearly more than a bruise in the traditional sense, there has to be some kind of bone problem. And rather than him quitting on the team it sounds like he tried to be the hero and play injured, which arguably cost the team the game vs Boston. That's unfortunate but understandable, players play hurt and hide injuries all the time. http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/03/17/...t-least-a-week

What cost them was not being able to score on Rask. Yesterday they did.

I said arguably, you state as a fact it is out of the question. c'mon. The winning goal was a soft goal, had it stayed 1-1 who knows how the game ends up.

Hammond let in a softie to make the game 1-1 the other night, then they actually went down 2-1. The difference is rask didn't play superhuman that game.

wd will need anderson if we want to make the playoffs and make any noise in it

Do you think Anderson will come back in the next week to play a few more games or have we already seen his last game in uniform?

I'm wondering the same thing. Been searching but haven't found any info yet, which is tempting me to drop him.

Heard he's back for B2Bs this weekend?
