Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson said he has no idea when he will be able to return to the lineup. Anderson has been sidelined since severing a tendon in his pinky last week while cooking dinner at home last week. He underwent surgery to repair the tendon and still is not able to grip his stick. "Obviously the timeline is wide open right now," Anderson said Thursday. "All I can do right now is make sure I stay in shape. I'm able to go out there and skate with my gear on. The main thing right now is keeping my legs, keeping everything strong, so when I do have a chance to come back, I'm physically ready to go." The 30-year-old Anderson has a 29-19-6 record and 2.85 goals-against average to put Ottawa in the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference entering play Thursday. Robin Lehner has won both his starts since he was called up from Binghamtom, including his first career shutout in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Boston.

Craig Anderson Doesn't Tip His Hand

Via The 6th Sens  |  March 02, 2012
* Thans to @SensForLife11 for the Photoshopped image. For the first time since suffering a cut to his right pinky finger that severed a tendon, the Senators' number one goaltender addressed the media for the first time but refused to comment or elaborate on how he sustained the injury itself. In concealing his right hand with his jacket, it aroused the interest and suspicions...

Anderson Avoids Talking About His Cut Hand

from Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun, If there still exists any suspicions over how exactly the right-handed Craig Anderson sliced a tendon in his right hand, the Senators’ No. 1 goalie did nothing to squelch them when facing the media for the first time one week after the incident. “I really don’t care to talk about the details of it all,” Anderson said Thursday at Scotiabank...

Travis Yost: Ottawa Senators Franchise Future in Doubt?

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 29, 2012
Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter and Facebook! -- A scathing report released in the Ottawa Citizen's Lee Greenberg late Wednesday night is probably the last thing a proud Ottawa Senators fan base wanted to read. The Ontario province has been looking to scrap tax exemptions for businesses who write off sports tickets, much to the disbelief of President Cyril Leeder,...

Who On Earth Is Robin Lehner?

Via Hockey Fan Land  |  March 03, 2012
I would like to say that I knew two weeks ago exactly who goalie Robin Lehner was.  That he was a second round draft pick for the Ottawa Senators who won the Butterfield Trophy as the AHL Calder Playoffs MVP in 2011.  Also, that he was now minding the net in Ottawa due to an injury to starter Craig Anderson.  Furthermore, his father Michael coached New York Rangers super goalie...

What To Pay RFA-To-Be Erik Karlsson?

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 01, 2012
from Ken Warren of Senators Extra, Erik Karlsson is going to strike it rich this summer, whether he wins the Norris Trophy as the National Hockey League’s top defenceman or not. Here are a few words of caution, though, for those asking Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray to lock him up to a contract for the next decade or so: Alexei Yashin, Rick DiPietro, Vincent Lecavalier...

Travis Yost: In Defense of Erik Karlsson: A Response to MC79Hockey

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 01, 2012
Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter and Facebook! -- On Monday, Tyler Dellow of MC79Hockey opted to publish a detailed response to some of the local media rhetoric in Ottawa, who are currently painting Erik Karlsson as the next Bobby Orr during his stunning 2011-2012 statistical output. Fifteen goals and fifty-one dimes in sixty-four games played? Gaudy, gaudy numbers. In...

One More Thought on Karlsson's Norris Candidacy

Via The 6th Sens  |  March 01, 2012
Earlier today I had some conversations with Scott about the Norris Trophy debate and how it is an exercise in futility trying to convince people in outside markets who don't have the luxury of being able to watch Erik Karlsson on a game-by-game basis that despite his offense overshadowing whatever defensive capabilities on the ice, he is far removed from being a defensive liability...

Thursday Thoughts

1) After watching Erik Karlsson race back to his end to get an icing call in the second period of Tuesday’s game in Boston, I’ll be the first to acknowledge that a potential Bruins versus Senators first round matchup will take years off my life. Had Karlsson been racing against any other Bruins forward not named Tyler Seguin, liberties would have been taken. I cannot imagine...
