Was it ever not?
Freddy will be fine.
Our management spent months scouting him and all other available goalies. He was the best. Hell, Lou even hid in the shadows to watch his practice last February at the ACC. How is Calgary doing choosing Elliott?
Trust our management. It's the best in the NHL.
One thing I do believe in, Freddy is a physical beast. Enough of the puny midgets we've been acquiring like Toskala and Bernier. Dude is huge and very athletic.
Putting four nice goals behind Holtby is no mean feat. And there were at least another four near goals. This team can generate offense.
I can't believe we're in a situation where we'll say William Nylander is our 3rd best rookie this year. Think about that.
:thumbup:Marner has the highest ceiling of the big three, imo. He's got otherworldly talent that, if translatable to the NHL, will surpass the other two.
If Babs can get them dialed in a bit tighter defensively, or we make a decent add or two on the back end that helps him do the same...we might be 95+ point good rolling into the playoffs. Because yeah, the offence is starting to look more and more legit.
i diagree, i think they need a legit top 4 guy who can log big, tough minutes.... either a big minute top pairing guy or a hjarmalsson type.
still not sold on rielly as a matchup guy (though he was tremendous last night against ovy).
