Player Discussion Trent Frederic II

[CDJ]

What in Bruins lore was the biggest folktale?

Kessel - 40 goal scorer
DeBrusk- 30 goal scorer
Freddy- 20 goal scorer?

Kessel 40 imo, everybody including myself would be like “well it was 36 in 70 that’s basically 40”

And it got to a point where I actually thought he ended up hitting 40 at some point lol

Oh shit dude didn't realize you called out Marchand, clearly that means you couldn't possibly dislike Freddy. My mistake, clearly just an unbiased guy who constantly posts in one guys thread more than anyone else's.

Right. So you’re butthurt for Freddy? That’s some next level fandom bruh. Maybe if he didn’t suck so much this year and actually did something positive on the ice, I could say something nice. Good thing we don’t need to worry about that happening, huh?

You can’t go 3 hours without thinking of Trent Frederic

lock : you will dream about him tonight

Frederic + for Crouse.

I think we need to move him for more speed and skill. I'll gladly sacrifice any sort of physical play and toughness for some more talent on the wings.

Literally had to make sure he didn't score 40 before I posted, couldn't remember.

I hadn’t thought about him at all until I was accused of being a big ole meanie jerk face to some guys favorite player…

I mean JFC, grow up. The dude is a well compensated professional athlete that isn’t performing well at all this season. Yet we can’t say that because it’s not fair to be honest? LOFL

 

[CellyHard]

Barclay Goodrow in his 4 seasons leading up to his FA deal he had .32 ppg

Frederic is currently at .39 ppg

They both play a very similar type of game. Goodrow really only has a slight edge in cup experience and was more of a natural center at the time.

Would anyone do a similar deal of 3.6 x 6 for Freddy?

The more I think about it, the more I think he's starting at 4 million and I'm not sure if thats the best idea

Call me when Frederic has two cups. Bruins 10-12 with Frederic in their playoff line-up.

Wasn’t there a Hockey News cover Ruins

It was so bad - thankfully pre internet

I used to love the Hockey News. I also got the Pats Weekly and Rolling Stone. Of course now magazines, papers, etc are all old news thanks to the internet. I still also miss Dana Hersey telling us we weren’t going to see regular programming on TV38 because of the following Boston Bruins telecast. Then again, I still miss Willie Whistle. He was a freakin’ legend.
The mid-90s set the stage for Joe Thornton, who set the stage for the terrible trade of Thornton, who set the stage for Chara and Savard who set the stage for 2011.

I don't think you get I don't take anything you say in this thread very seriously lol

The lengths you'll go to "prove" you don't dislike Freddy is quite intriguing, though at this point I'm not sure if you're trying to convince me or yourself

Actually in 2008-09 Kessel had 36 Goals in 70RS Games and added 6 PO Goals
in 11 PO Games, so viola, 42 Goals in 81 Games in one season were every game mattered.

Using the same logic all three would meet their 20, 30 and 40 goal myths.

Frederic doesn't because he played an entire 82 game schedule of games that mattered.

Geekie may have if he potted his 20th by G6 of the Toronto series.

Who said I didn't like him? I don't like him. He's a frustrating player to me. That being said, there's a difference between not being a fan of a specific player or more accurately, how they play vs actively rooting against them. I don't root against a Bruins player because I want the team to win. And that's regardless of whether I like their style of play or not. Those things are not mutually exclusive.

No one could read your comments about Frederic over several years and come to that conclusion whatsoever.

 

[Sheppy]

I want him to succeed and play better, but he's an annoying player to watch more games than not.

Good to know my point was made. He's a clown with a low hockey IQ. Still rooting for him to produce though.

Exactly. And why is that controversial to say?

We should make this into one of those spot the difference challenges with words instead of pictures

Level: EASY

"He's an annoying player to watch more games than not"

"he's a clown with low hockey IQ"

So you want to argue semantics?

 

[TD Charlie]

There can't be anyone that is happy with this guy's game right now, right? Call it whatever you want, excuse it however you must, but he's been less than he should be. I don't think that's an outlandish take at all

 

[Sheppy]

I fully admit I'm hard on Trent Frederic. Not because I don't like the guy, but because I expect more from him.

I feel like a broken record when I say I'm not sure what type of player he wants to be.

1 game he's engaged physically.
5 games you don't notice him.
1 game he scores a goal
5 games you don't notice him.
1 game he's engaged physically
3 games you don't notice him.
1 game he scores
5 games you don't notice him.

Overall for me it's the lack of consistency in his game. I use a Lucic comparison (not that he's Lucic) but when Lucic would go on cold streaks, he'd be mixing it up, trying to get involved any way he can if he's not producing offensively.

Frederic seems to be on Frederic time.

When he first came up, he was engaged every shift it seemed. He was drawing penalties, being a pest, and then started getting a bit more of a scoring touch. Once he found that he kind of abandoned everything for a bit. I'd just like to see him take initiative and get himself going any way he can.
