Player Discussion Trent Frederic II

[Over the volcano]

How’d the game go again? They won? No? Lost in OT? No? Close game? No?

Who gives a flying f*** about a dumb fight when they played shitty sub par hockey, yet again?

This is why we can’t have nice things.

If you think its why we can't have nice things, then you give more of a flying f*** than anyone .

They lost 8-1 and it should have been worse. This is a fraud team. Instead of fans saying why did the front office put together such a flawed team though, we have fans celebrating carnival side show bullshit.

And the front office not only understands this dynamic, they play to it.

 

[Gordoff]

Though Frederic had his only productive seasons with Monty and the only productive playoff as well.

Good, trade him to St. Louis. Tired of seeing his goofy smirk.
He has no continuity to his game.
God only knows the "how & why's" when it comes to what gets
Trent Frederic going.
So, I don't want DS hanging on to him the way he did with Eriksson
and even DeBrusk. If you're fairly sure a guy wants out, facilitate him.
That's what that ****** Sinden would do.

Game one he pressed the issue with Tkachuk who said he'd go but didn't and left Frederic with a 2 min minor and Thachuck and Bennett at his feet. Larson had it coming after blindsiding Poitras.

He's challenged plenty of guys since then but isn't going to take an instigator or put his team on the PK. I'd love to see more guys agree to go. Winnipeg comes to Boston in a month or so, they'll have their chance.

Freddy better be ready because you know Lowry will come looking

I'm looking forward to that game for sure. Primarily to see how the team responds, but if Lowry's willing that'd be fun too.

Winnipeg had chances to go with Frederic in the 3rd if they wanted. Maybe it'll spark some fireworks in Boston. Too bad we can't have nice things.

Yea. It’s hard to say without being in the know on what went on down on the ice. Maybe Gustafson egged Freddy on and bit off more than he could chew.

I do know Lowry and Freddy talked nearly the whole time they were in box and then skated 3-4 shifts against each other afterwards and nothing happened.So it’ll be interesting to say the least. Also I’m not sure but I don’t remember Zadarov taking a shift after his fight with Lowry.

Sure, the guy with 6 penalty minutes in his NHL career was looking for trouble.

 

[LouJersey]

Gustafsson was giving as good as we was getting till he dropped his gloves. Maybe Frederic should have shrunk away from it.

Last year he fought 7 times, this year he's on pace fro roughly 5 or 6.

But I get it, there are different expectations for Frederic. We expect him to fight heavyweights and put up 20g 20a. No one else on the team, and maybe 1 or 2 guys in the league carry that.

Not what I said. I like him. I also like when the Bruins beat people up time to time. I do want him making statements vs Olivier in blow outs though. Either you're a tough guy or you aren't. Either you push the issue or you don't. I think he's done well the past few years, but I'm sorry he's a shrinking violet this year. Maybe because of Kastelic and Zadorov? Dunno but this team is not that good so far and there have been plenty of times to get mad, or make a statement or try to turn the tide with a good tilt and he is nowhere to be found.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

When do we start calling him Brave Trent?

I think one problem here is we have no idea the role he is being told to play. Perhaps this year they have told him to let those two take on the heavyweights which is why we see him picking his spots more often? Or I'm just making excuses for him

Nah it could be, like I said I like him, just disappointing he only seems to make statements this year vs powder puffs.

The thought that Frederic is supposed to fight Olivier is bonkers. Trent is not a heavyweight. He has no business fighting him, nor should anyone expect or want to see that. It’s like saying Sugar Ray Leonard should have fought Evander Holyfield.

I'll agree with that.

I'm sure Frederic remembers the beating he got from Tom Wilson back in 2021. Bruins were up 5-0 at the start of the 3rd period and Wilson picked him out at center ice.

He had Wilson in fits. Ended up getting a 7 game suspension that game for charging Carlo after Frederic knocked him on his ass when Wilson tried to line him up.

Who else in the league do you expect to fight the heavyweights and put up 20 20? Is it just Frederic and Tom Wilson. . . who else?

Good memory.

 

[LSCII]

Freddy has never scored 20 goals. And he's only done 20 assists 1 time, which right now is the outlier for his career. So Tom Wilson and?

Nah, I'm not a psychic, but I hope he does. I called him to break 20 goals this year, actually. . .

Not sure who you're arguing with . . .

 

[LSCII]

Not sure who you're arguing with . . .

Me making a guess versus his reality are wildly separate things, no? He's never scored 20 goals. That's a fact. I also said I expected he'd do so this year, in a clearly misguided post. Also fact.

 

[Fingertools]

Sure, the guy with 6 penalty minutes in his NHL career was looking for trouble.

The irony is that if Freddy walked away from Gustaffson after their mutual stickwork this board would have been all over him for not doing anything.

Fine. Commence with the spot picking vs the guys that don't fight and leave the better fighters to Kastelic and Zadorov. Guessing that's part of the reason they were brought in

 

[Hookslide]

This team can't score and all you worry about is talking about fighting

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Im sure he's shaking in his skates. He could have found him last night when he was on the ice when it happen.

Freddy will be ok, no need to worry about him.

Not fighting the best fighter in the NHL who beats the bag out of other heavyweights is not spot picking.
