He’s 4-0 with a 1.75 gaa and .944 this season.

..and he was the problem in Toronto... amirite?

I feel bad for him the way he left TO...

 

[keonsbitterness]

Maybe he came into their camp in shape instead of fat like he did here last year.

 

[LeafSteel]

He will get the shut out on his, and score an empty net goal while at it.

Leafiest thing to happen as is usually the case.......

No need to feel bad. The lucky ones are the ones who got out. Both he and Hyman are having elite seasons so far. The GM decided they were not as important as his coddled overpaid stars. If I'm a player on this current team I get out as soon as I get an opportunity. This place is a completely mess.

Nah we'll win tomorrow, its poetic justice that the game where we get our mojo back is against our former goalie.

The team will do what it takes to reinforce Campbell as the right choice between the pipes and we start our true hockey journey for the season tomorrow night.

For if we lose tomorrow, especially by shutout, I'm just going to walk away for a while. Big game.

Time to show some f*cking Character tomorrow night.

 

[saffronleaf]

Likely going to be a nice and easy night for Freddy + a shutout.

 

[Buds17]

There is likely to be a familiar player on the other side of the ice for a fair number of games in any given season. It would be great to win this one purely in the interest of righting the ship.

 

[JohnnyBerts]

There’s no doubt in my mind Freddie is better than Toronto’s current goalies. I wouldn’t have paid him 6mill but 4.5 x 2 was definitely a fair deal. Too bad Toronto can’t manage the cap properly to make the right decisions.

 

[rocketman588]

Hometown hockey tomorrow as well.

Do we hear people start getting restless on the broadcast?

 

[93gilmour93]

Leafs are expected to lose in Carolina so we will see a 5-2 Leafs win. It’s the way it works with this team

Round is a shape!

If they treat Feddie like their did Ayres, they will be 2-4-1 overall and 0-3-1 vs teams outside the Northern division.

 

[Nineteen67]

I watch a lot of the Canes and they are a fast, hard working, disciplined team. They’ll probably play like crap tomorrow.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Honestly at this point anything other than an Andersen shutout would be a surprise.

 

[Caesium]

Leafs lose, but no shutout.

 

[fahad203]

Maybe he came into their camp in shape instead of fat like he did here last year.

Or maybe he actually has players that play professional level D in front of him

 

[Cleetus]

Loved Freddie, but I hope we light his ass up

 

[TML11]

If leafs lose tomorrow night (which I think they will) people are gonna lose their minds. And I would be happy for Freddie. He was right , there's something going on in Toronto., and I bet it's Marner's attitude.

 

[keonsbitterness]

He did show up to camp last season James Harden fat, and you can't blame our D for how he played last season.

If only we could do some kind of controlled experiment where the exact same team plays in front of Freddie and Campbell to test this hypothesis.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Or maybe he's in a market where he's not under the microscope all the time and no one knows who he is. He didn't have the mental fortitude to thrive here.

 

[wingman75]

Leafs and Canes have played in some barn burners recently. Might be good to just play an all out offensive game to get some of our stars going. A 7-6 win would be perfect imo.
Really, just looking for 60 minutes of effort at this point ffs.

Freddy will feel pressure in this game I bet and let in a couple softies but will make some great saves too no doubt.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Glad he's doing well. He had some really great stretches here, too. Odd people think his play over a handful of games - play he's done several times before - is somehow reflective on last year's team.
