Steve Valiquette

He's had the most outstanding playoff with no victories.

Now, I think the counterpoint to that is after game one, which we saw a couple of soft ones go by all mark in that game, he was lights out.

And then as soon as you got into garbage time, the better he played.

So I still wonder about how it's going to go for Ottawa next year with him and Nets.

But that was not their issue in the series at all.

So I feel like it kind of leaves Ottawa on a pretty hard spot.

What do they do for next year?

Do they still look outside of Allmark?

I think they have to get somebody to at least be able to carry the load when he's absent because he is prone to absence.

Now, the series itself, I thought it played out pretty strange because...

Anderson was almost equal to Allmark in the series.

He wins four straight.

I thought that Ottawa played their game into Anderson's strengths.

A lot of what Anderson was doing in the postseason reflected what his strengths were in the regular season.

So his breakaways...

I've said this before where Carolina has allowed the most breakaways in the league.

I thought Ottawa was going to have an opportunity to score off the rush and specifically breakaways in the postseason.

We've found that breakaways do have that lever of momentum swing.

So in the postseason here, Anderson only faced nine screens in the entire series, no goals against.

He only faced six rebounds in the entire series, no goals against.
