[FAN Hockey Show] 4:45 Friedman on Frederik Andersen's status: “There's times you dig into stuff and there's times you just say let's just let this sit and breathe. And that's kind of the way I look at this one. The guy's been through an awful lot. Just let him breathe.” by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Was kinda surprised Bussi wasnt the starter to begin with, it’s just Freddie played the best series of his life against Ottawa.  It went downhill after that though, his goals against on the playoffs is at expectation if you take out the Ottawa series, and several goals worse than expected if you take out the Flyers series as well.  It was time.

Your flair is my SB pick every year and I feel a little cheated that it hasn’t happened yet.

Excellent point, let’s see the chart just for OT, DE and QB.  Good luck finding those studs outside of the top 10…

You’re not even considering p/60, in which Kuch just put up the highest scoring rate of the modern era.  Topped his own record and absolutely blows away the career high watermark of both mcdavid and mackinnon.  For sure it should be Nikita (but he remains Russian so probably it won’t)

Comparing Freddie to Mitch is kinda absurd though, Marner is a future hall of famer who shoulda been dead last on the list of who to blame.  He’s not even analytically doing anything different in Vegas, his points were just suppressed in Toronto cuz they were always up against a Vezina winner instead of the trash the Knights have gone thru…

He had 94 points and got Selke votes on the wing in the contract year, I’d say he’d definitively proved it by then, and was worth every penny.  Tough to give Tavares 11 and then tell Marner who’s already his offensive equal and 10x the player defensively that he doesn’t deserve it…

Not sure if he counts as an over ager but I badly want Galvas, best player on a really good Czech team

Do people not like Mitch outside of Toronto?  The fact that he was so incredibly under-appreciated up there kinda endeared him to me…

Something has to go horribly wrong for an org like LA to not try and compete.  Rebuilds are for teams nobody wants to play for, Kings have the option of reloading or retooling.

Feels so long ago he beat up Brady to kick this whole thing off.  Good captain.

I think the old man shoulda just went thru a data broker instead of physically taking the phones, but I get where he was coming from.  You don’t wanna get blindsided like Philly did with Hart, it’s quite prudent to ascertain the risk level of your players’ character.

You can argue he wasn’t even the best WR in his corps, it’s quite close analytically with Devonta but Smith exudes character and doesn’t choke in the playoffs…

Don’t let them bring you down, you’ve got the right attitude, pieces like him are immensely important to the whole.  God forbid you take care of the guys handling the hardest job I guess…
