Frederick Andersen, the, the Canes goalie, had a shutout in game four, but he's been kind of up and down throughout the course of this series against Montreal.
But with that being said, would he still be your pick for Conn Smythe this year?
Yeah, I think Andersen is interesting.
I think you also couple that with the lack of just shots on net for, for, for the Canadians has been a little surprising.
But I have to say, he's kept them in, in games as well.
Just, you know, from, from the beginning of the playoffs to now, he's been really the anchor for that defensive core.
Obviously, Carolina is know f- known for their relentlessness, kind of their grittiness, the way that they forecheck, and so Andersen has just been a wall for them on the back.
They've l- had to rely a little less heavily on their defensemen because they have him.
I think that he's definitely been the most, best goaltender through these, through these playoffs, and they're gonna need him to, to continue to play that well if they wanna make a run at the Cup.
