He put in the work last night. I was happy to see him rewarded.

agreed Wally, I want to see that focus consistently, I know it can`t be there for 82 games but bring it more consistently and I`ll be less inclined to hammer the kid which I find easy to do sitting on my fat ass at home

Great to see him settled into his game and getting rewarded for it.
He’s not trying to do too much and ain’t playing afraid to make a mistake

Best consistent 2-way(the McKinnon backchecks) game that I've seen from Freddy. Bottle it son, bottle it!

Freddy is turning into a solid 3rd line presence and with Hall super charging that line, he's going to keep getting offensive chances. I like the willingness to flex out to his off wing and still play well. I'll admit, a part of me wants to see them try Freddy at center in-between Hall and Coyle, but it's working as is right now.

Great to see him get rewarded with two goals. He also made some fantastic passes. Jack called out a soft area pass to Hall in the neutral zone. He fed Nosek down the middle on a zone entry…
Good defensive plays too and the MacKinnon back checks showed off his speed.

That line is clicking- certainly wont mess with it and they're not going to shuffle guys like Coyle and Hall to experiment with Frederic. I mean he's a center/left wing they have playing RW on that line as it is.
I do see him at C in the future though, he's got the size the 2 way game and the vision/passing skills to be most effective down the middle

have to think playing for a coach who won`t staple him to the bench or scratch him after a mistake has eased his grip on the stick too. Freddy created much of his own trouble previous years though, super inconsistent, took stupid penalites etc...I`ve been hard on the kid, not sure I was a "hater" but I was definitely a non-believer
So glad they were patient with him. Kid's going to be one of our future centers

Trent Frederic leads the team in 5 on 5 gf/60 and the h8ers who were suggesting he be waived as recently as a few weeks ago can’t stand it

He’s eliminated the stupid penalties and playing with Coyle and Hall he can just do his thing.

I’m excited. He has a long reach, disrupts plays, and is winking battles more and more … just a really difficult player to play against. Coyle is a possession monster. Hall is just playing incredible 3 zone hockey. Frederic is only going to get more confident and stronger in my opinion.
The impact this line is having is tremendous and so enjoyable to watch. I love it when Frederic, Coyle, and Hall are in the ice.

Hall on the third changes that line dimension. I am impress with the line and with Hall getting there and doing the job done. As per T Frederic, he is just starting to show us what he can be s a hockey player. I just beleive in him and all what he can bring to the game. Happy he got rewarded with 2 goals last night

I hope he gets a hat trick against Vegas Monday night and gifts Cassidy the puck. In fact Krejci, DeBrusk and Foligno can get hat tricks as well.
I agree , like Hall says he does not consider 3rd line a demotion playing with the best 3rd line center in the league . I am glad for Fredrics ,his confidence is soaring and starting to show...........

Don't get ridiculous. No way they score 12 goals. At least one of those players is not going to get a hat trick.

I was just stating that I hope all the players Cassidy messed with get the chance to have great games and shove it down Cassidy's throat. They could beat Vegas 15-0 and I would still want more of a beating administered to Vegas.

You know a team has ridiculous depth in the lineup when Coyle and Hall are the anchors on your third line. Basically perfect for Frederic to thrive if he is ever going to. A bull at center and a superb playmaker drawing a lot of attention at wing allow Frederic to get more space on the ice and not have to press as much as he has in the past. Confidence can do remarkable things for a player trying to find his place on a team.

Every line needs a driver. Sorry neither Coyle or Freddy are drivers. Hall is. Makes the line work.
Nah. Can't be it. This is hockey.
Or maybe it's something as simple as finding a third person to play on the line that can drive play?

Or maybe it's something as simple as a combination of his own improved play, confidence and support from the coaching staff, and Hall on the other wing.
I will say Frederic's game hasn't really changed that much all year, the pts are just coming now. He might not be driving play but he is real complimentary piece on that line and only taking up 8% of its cap space.
