With the 187th pick in the 7th rd of the 2010 NHL Draft the Carolina Hurricanes select Frederik Andersen....ok Frederik, you had your moment in the sun, enjoy it, have a nice life...........or did you??

Frederik is in his rookie season with Frolunda in the Swedish Elite League (SEL). After 35 games he is leading the league with a 1.69 GAA and a .940 SVS%. He is a huge goalie at 6'4. He beat out a top goalie prospect for the starting position. Magnus Hellburg, who was drafted with the 38th pick in the 2nd rd of the 2011 NHL draft by the Nashville Predators.

For those unfamiliar with the SEL it is the fourth best professional hockey league behind the NHL, KHL, and Czech league.

Wow... yeah he was one of those guys who I thought would fade away - into the wood work, but this is really good news! Ironically, we are in a tight spot with goalies as Wardo is out with an injury as well as Boucher, so Peters in net but no back-up because Murphy is also injured in Charlotte. Soooo, where is the extra help going to come from? Well, Ty Conklin is rumored to be placed on waivers soon, so maybe he'll be an option. Would that be funny? The guy who Rod Brind'Amour undressed at the end of Game One 2006 SCF for the winning goal playing for the team who eventually beat his Oilers for the championship? I guess he'd be joining Samsonov in that regard... but still it would be funny.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      Those TDs passes you saw Sunday is what I think you will see bryce at his best. Those touch passes he can lob to receivers over the defenders heads. Long as receivers can get significant separation and bryce does overthrow those passes which we seem him do a lot. He is never gonna be a guy that can throw a laser into a receivers chest with a defender draped on him downfield unless its short pass or within a couple feet from the endzone.

      Dream scenario for ending out the season

      By strato · Posted

      If teams play us honestly and take that deep stuff away we may be able to operate good enough underneath to counter that. It is about time we started trying to force them to respect it.    But I think people should enjoy the win for two weeks because what’s in front of us doesn’t scream playoffs to me. It would be shocking if we swept TB. They aren’t Atlanta.  And even if we sweep there can be no let down.    I saw the stat of our record coming off a loss. Pretty good. What would it be coming off a win lol? Without looking, it has to at least be pretty upside down  (I count it to be 2-4).

      Win the division from Bucs........BY implodes in the playoff worse than Delhomme and we finally get rid of BY as our QB. Get ready for 2026 with momentum for once.
