I have never been a fan of Freddy’s. I think he is a solid goalie but midnight will eventually strike with him in net. During the playoffs Freddy was helped a lot from our defense not allowing many SOG and puck luck. Any goalie only getting 10-14 shots against him is gonna look impressive on the stat sheet. We need to do something about the goalie in the off-season. But if history is any indication we won’t. -

Game two will tell a lot. If we go down 0-2 that may be series. -

Maybe I’m ignorant, as I know sometimes the skaters can leave their goalie out to dry - but, I have not understood the love affair for Freddie. I keep seeing the argument that he doesn’t make all of the saves, but he makes the ones that matter - but I’ve felt like that’s bullshit. It’s relative easy to look good as a goalie when the other team was only getting 15 fuging shots a game. The thing that troubles me about last night, as anticipated, was that I knew it would be Freddie’s first real test in regards to a team that was deep enough and loaded enough to match us physically, and consistently. And it seems once we’re not able to bully teams with the forecheck and force them out of being comfortable and they’re able to actually get SOG, then last night is the result. But, aside from me not trusting Freddie, none of the games I’ve watched this playoffs (I missed GM 1 vs Montreal), did we look so sloppy. Sloppy passes, sloppy/non-existent reception of passes that did get through, sloppy puck handling… shots were pretty damn high-quality, we just had a much harder time getting into positions to shoot them. Again, I know it might be over simplifying things, but we were almost dead even in SOG, and they won with both goalies having less than stellar save percentages as a result of the relatively low SOG for both teams with respect to the final score. And that’s why I just haven’t trusted Freddie despite the halo of protection that most have when talking about him… when a team’s skaters are close to or equal to ours, he doesn’t “save the ones we need.”
