Injury Report: Freddie Andersen to be out until early February or March following knee surgery

[Stickpucker]

Except if it is a mental issue, that isn't a question of "compete." That's a serious medical condition that he likely has little control over. So you constantly going after him for "the Freddie flu" is in poor taste, to say the least.

My question would be, if it is a mental problem, why has he not reached out to the NHLPA about it (that we're aware of)?

Maybe because we never pushed the issue and gave him the time he needed?

I do think we need to explore all options and probably consider finding another good goalie for insurance. But many thought Freddie wouldn't make it back last season and he did. I imagine he will this season as well and it makes things difficult to juggle.

Am I crazy or is 8-12 weeks not at all late March or early April as the thread title suggests?

Edit: Its a Freddie joke, I get it. Carry on.

I mean, day to day ended up being effectively a season ending injury if the current timeline to recover from surgery is correct

If the current timeline is to be believed he will be back with over 30% of the regular season left.

That’s is almost as far off from effectively season ending as the original diagnosis. Whether you buy the new timeline is a different discussion all together.

Hmmm now that I am checking again that should be early Feb or March, I think my math didn't math well

12 weeks is right at the Four Nations face-off break. In theory he could rehab in Chicago during that break at the tail end of the timeline. Now obviously its Freddie so we may never see him again anyway.

Plenty of time to squeeze in one more week-to-week injury.

even if he makes it back I dont want him in the playoffs unless hes backing up.

I'm done with his failures.
