Did he play tonight?
As has been said, he's one of a long list of guys that are candidates to be crapped on.
But he's very clearly shying away from going for pucks and making physical contact. I'm not sure how I can accept that from a guy who has shown himself to be more than capable in these areas. He really is just a designated sniper now? That's supposed to be his identity?
Gross.
Sniper?
Who are you talking about?
That whole third line was pretty useless.He’s a special kind of useless. Just skating around
He came into the league trying to make a name for himself by playing that way, he did, then got comfortable.He simply is not the agitator some of you would like. He is a bottom six c/w who does not always process the play well-to say the least. (I do not believe for a minute they are getting lots of offers for him.)
Yes, I can see why some think of him as a "fake tough guy" and spot picker, but feeling with him is he is not an agitator.He came into the league trying to make a name for himself by playing that way, he did, then got comfortable.
He's been fine overall (the last two seasons), but he still leaves so much to be desired. At one stage he was mixing it up with the Tom Wilsons of the world, now he picks his spots and is the definition of the "fake tough" label that people like to toss around on opposing teams players.
I think if it's anyone remotely tough that leveled Poitras the other night, Frederic isn't so eager to drop his gloves and start swinging the way he did. Anyone else he's probably doing his collar grab tough guy bullshit waiting for a ref to jump in there.Yes, I can see why some think of him as a "fake tough guy" and spot picker, but feeling with him is he is not an agitator.
