Injury Report: Freddie Andersen

[Nikishin Go Boom]

As expected, he just got tight from a play or felt pain and the team was just overly cautious

As much as well gasped this was a smart move. Pulling him in a "meaningless" mid season game against a western conference team is 3d chess!

Pining for the fjords! Wake up Freddie.

Not dead yet

Still could be zombie status though. Good news is that Pyotr was not called up.

Raanta against the sharks, Freddie against the Bruins?

makes sense

When Freddie has played, he's clearly looked better than Raanta or Kooch. He gives us our best chance to win in the playoffs. And we know he's fragile. Put two and two together and the objective has to be to maximize his health for the playoffs.

The best part is that we're pretty much guaranteed to make the playoffs, and we have two really decent alternatives in goal so there's no urgency whatsoever to give Freddie a bunch of starts. Raanta is reasonably reliable as long as they don't start him too many times in a row, and Kooch has been brilliant when he has confidence.

So, other than worrying about his conditioning when we get closer to the playoffs, I really like the decision to be super cautious about playing Freddie.

The thing that worries me now is that it does seem that when he starts to shit the bed, he's suddenly "injured".

Maybe he was injured. Maybe it was a little ding. Maybe his game was off and he said " I don't feel right". I just hope it doesn't become a pattern. This is a contract year for him after all. There will be questions.

Hope it's a rest day?

Andersen looked funny after catching the stick in the gut

 

[Canes]

Hope it's a rest day?

He just had almost 2 weeks off.

He just needs to be coddled and put into a bubble.

"fine" but worrying fragile though
