Christiansen was never one of the foremost stars in the league but during his long career in the league he was always a player you could rely on to play responsibly in his own end and score for your team. In his 17 seasons in the SHL he never once dipped below 0.5 points per game, a very impressive feat during an era when scoring was down from where it is today. The other thing that comes to mind when you think of Christiansen is finesse. He never was a particularly physical player (at least not for his era), but he still managed to play a good two-way game and was solid as a rock on the ice every night. He had the skill and ability to play the game his way and force his adversaries to adapt to him rather than the other way around. Drafted 42nd Overall in the S39 SHL Entry Draft by the Toronto North Stars, the young Norwegian center would go on to become a quick hit in The 6, proving to be one of the biggest steals in recent draft history, before going on to play for New England, Calgary and finally finishing his career Atlanta. “Anders has 4 nominations as a player as well as an award win, and even towards the latter end of his career was a sure thing to put up 0.5 PPG or better. His career longevity is impressive. “
“ …Anders Christiansen was a dominant two-way forward on several different teams. “
“ Christansen put up most of his numbers in a harder to score era. He was recognized multiple times with several all star teams, and awards nominations. Unfortunately he was not able to lift the cup in his career, which could be attributed to playing on non powerhouse teams, which makes his point production all the better. Over 1000 hits from an era where you either hit or didn't showcase his versatility, and his minutes average shows he wasn't over played, so he produced without being spoon fed. “
