Getting hemmed in their own zone? :)
Yea, I don't see McMichael getting in the lineup unless someone else (+ Eller) gets hurt.. Kuzy has to play tomorrow, imo. Either way, the "aces" didn't even make the trip to Boston, per Lavi..

If Eller is out....we are in deeper shit. He doesn't get a lot of respect on these boards, but he does a lot for this team that doesn't always get noticed. If he is out then Backy becomes your shut down guy - or your 4th line is going to get top line minutes to match up with Bostons top line guys. Either way, it hurts everyone else's line when Eller is out.
Not knocking Anderson, he has played well enough, but he has glaring holes and I don't see us advancing with him in net. We already had these questions with any of our goalies going in, but I really don't think anyone expected to ride a former retired 40 year old taxi squad/practice goalie into playoff promise land.
Samsonov seriously fucked his team this year with his "antics". He was supposed to be the #1 guy and at least the near future of this team and all he has done this year is show he can't be relied on, and that's pretty much the opposite of you need from a goalie.
And For Fuck's Sake....Hathy gets not one but TWO goals in a playoff game and you don't win it? Where the hell were the stars of this team? :raised-eyebrow:
Go Caps

i feel your frustration For sure.
I think you're doing Anderson a little bit of a disservice there though. He's certainly NOT been any worse than our top two have been. VV got hurt, but Sammy is just a stupid little fuc and the sooner he goes crying back to his mothers bosom the better, imho. >:( Stupid little fuck.
All our goalies have issues. None of them seem to able to stay in their paint let alone their nets.
I would have Anderson in goal over Sammy any day, just because he has that experience. the Bruins ran him at least three times last game and he didn't bat an eyelid. He knows the score.
Surreylily:
who is our goalie coach these days? Do we even have one?
Surreylily:
I hope somebody put in an official complaint against the refx this game. :cross:
Not holding my breath. :-|
