Silver Seven Exclusive: Craig Anderson's "Welcome to Ottawa" pamphlet

PrintYesterday, Ottawa announced they had signed goaltender Craig Anderson to a 4-year contract worth $12.75M, meaning a cap hit of roughly $3.18M per season. You can find our analysis here, but Anderson has only played 11 games with the team, so we were suspicious that he might not be as familiar with the franchise as he said he was. Did Bryan Murray bait and switch our latest franchise goalie? We were able to get our hands on the pamphlet the Sens GM gave to Anderson only after the contract had been signed, and we reprint it here for you to decide.
(read on for the back of the pamphlet...)
Huge thanks go out to Ryan Classic (who else?) for the "Welcome to Ottawa" graphic, and poster Sharkridingbear, who came up with the "goaltender anxiety" and "Jumbotron" bits.

The genius is all Ryan
That header is his creativity, not mine.

This is why I said Ryan will be the creative guy in a rebuilding civilisation scenario :D
Trying to be Erik Karlsson's agent since October, 2010.
So awesome
I love the header image. I can’t wait until we can incorporate the new logo this team will inevitably release next season.

This has got a distinct DGB feel
and I love it. Great job guys. The part about the defensemen is absolutely hilarious.

Funny stuff!!
You can talk shop about hockey on a lot of sites, but this place stands head and shoulders above the competition on the creativity front.
But we also talk hockey well, too, right?

"This is not OK. Ever"
Made me lose it. Really the entire thing was chuckle-a-minute.

For the links
Don’t forget to link to the Citizen article that lists all the goalies in franchise history and their games played in a Sens uniform. That is a real trip down memory lane(and some of the memories are pretty gruesome!)
Also: Screw the Original Six, we're a Founding NHL Team.
Totally more important.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
