Craig Anderson might not have spent all his years as an NHL goaltender in Ottawa, but he did spend his best years here. The Sens will honour him with a retirement ceremony on Tuesday night versus the Buffalo Sabres.Craig Anderson, who joined the Ottawa Senators in 2011, is the team's most successful goalie in its 30-year history. Craig Anderson might not have spent all his years as an NHL goaltender in Ottawa, but he did spend his best years here.
Speaking to CBC, he shared the importance of giving back to a community that showed him and his family so much support over the years."When you're done being a player, what's left is the memories and the friendships. They're kind of the feel-good moments that people will always remember," said Anderson.Anderson never received the sendoff befitting a team's winningest goalie.
One of his biggest seasons with the Sens, on the ice, came in 2016-2017. But it was also one of great personal pain off the ice. "That night he probably played the most memorable game I've seen a goalie play," said friend and goalie coach Pierre Groulx. "It was all on emotion. It was a tribute to Nicholle. It was a tribute to him and the person he is."
