It was the kind of thing movies are made about. After shutting out the Canucks, Craig Anderson took a personal leave of absence from the team. As it turns out, Nicholle, his wife, had been diagnosed with cancer. But when backup Andrew Hammond went down against the Flames, Nicholle reportedly told Andy that his team needed him. And he earned a huge win, stopping all 37 shots against the red hot Oilers en route to his second shutout of the week. It was emotional to say the least, as a quick Twitter search of gifs will show you.
