Excerpt from The Athletics about Josh Anderson:
He’s a commodity in low supply, and the demand for the commodity remains high.
“Playoff hockey is still heavy hockey,” that scout said. “The standard drops, it just does. And he can help you play heavy hockey.”
We saw that from Anderson in the 2021 playoff run, most glaringly in the first round against the Toronto Maple Leafs. At one point in that series, the Maple Leafs defencemen — Jake Muzzin in particular — started just getting rid of pucks that were dumped in their zone. They had enough of Anderson coming in with a head of steam and ruining their lives, one hit at a time.
