Craig Anderson has been superb in the postseason for Colorado -- and really all season long as well. SBN’s Panthers blog, Litter Box Cats, examines his rise and asks the old “what if” question:
Anderson’s Phenomenal Play Leaves Panthers Fans Asking ‘What If?’

Management knew going in that 2009-10 was set to be a rough ride, scoring-wise, which may have tipped the scale to Vokoun's "advantage". Armed with the knowledge that realistically the Cats were quite probably geared to spin their wheels for another year, hanging on to the longtime NHLer was the proper route to travel.
