Player Discussion Josh Anderson - The Rene Bourque Edition

[Runner77]

Any news about the injury from his last game??

None yet, probably tomorrow.

Meantime, an internet physician speculates …

 

[LaP]

Looking at the replay i'd say he's done for the year.

 

[Habs]

A lot of Hab fans don't like Anderson.

I think Hughes refuses to trade him because Montreal real small in spots. With much coming in Mesar, Hutson, Farrell

a lot of hab fans know nothing about hockey and think small teams can win. I agree the smurfs are coming in full force

 

[sampollock]

HE IS AT PRACTICE ..and skating.. great to hear

 

[EXPOS123]

Just trade him already. The guy will never be anything more than an injury prone low IQ 15-20 goal 35 point player

That he’s big and fast means nothing as he does nothing with it

Whoa really?

 

[Skip Bayless]

The medical staff wants to finish his knee so that he’ll be ready for september.

Online physician loses credibility here.

Only Dr. Recchi is legitimate. Everyone else are pretenders.

He left himself an exit, with the first and last parts of the post. The team is lucky.

If there was a crack there, the Habs could easily employ someone do run a Lidar scan after the Zamboni finishes, either at home or away, and run image analysis on it (within a few seconds). If away, alert the crew to go back and fix it, since both teams benefit from the ice being professional-grade. The Habs need to take an innovative approach to get out of this injury quagmire.

Meanwhile, they should innovate with flexible boards, encourage other teams to do likewise, and fund research on innovative injury-preventing training methods and equipment.

That's what the NHL is comprised of, not sure what league you are watching? He's a 4th round pick that will get you some goals and some grit, what do you think your bottom lines are filled with? Do we want more 12 goal smurfs running around here doing the same thing, minus the physical play?

 

[McGees]

Him being 'fine' then in a game or 2 having a knee injury would be the most MTL thing ever.
I remember seeing RHP looking hurt 2x and he kept playing and within a couple game....well we still haven't seen him.

Not at his salary - that’s the point

Salary? lol, Cole makes 8 million and has 12 goals, lets spread the bashing equally. Who isn't overpaid on this team if we are going by stats?

Cole is another story completely I’m talking about Anderson

He is massively overpaid for what he brings and what he brings is not much

The sooner we move him (if we even can) the better

And if you want to talk about Cole, I’m the wrong person for that because I went on record (and against the public) as saying they should have gave him a bridge contract, especially given his major shoulder surgery

Josh Anderson has 3 more points than rarely used Michael Pezzetta, Let that sink in.

I was an Anderson defender, but he just plain sucks.

 

[x-bob]

I was an Anderson defender, but he just plain sucks.

I’ve rarely seen a player with such a good package of skills/athletic ability be so ineffective. He doesn’t pick up points, he doesn’t impact the game, he’s just there.

 

[the valiant effort]

To call him a low-IQ winger is a disservice to the many, many excellent low-IQ wingers this league has had over its 100+ years. This mother****er doesn’t even have the most innate understanding of geometry that present day humans and our predecessors have possessed for thousands of years.
