News Article: Freddy is playing through a Groin injury.. Updated reveals Knee injury

[hamzarocks]

if he's playing through a groin injury why is he playing?

Same reason Matthews is playing through his wrist injury. We have no other option. We saw the mighty Hutchinson deliver against the sens

2 goals andersen would only let in to a 4th liner in the playoffs he allows at the start of the game. He is truly terrible

Andersen has been poor but if we are going with hutchinson we have almost no chance at winning

Campbell being so injury prone wasn't in dubas plans. The guy has played 3 out of 30 games which is just terrible when people thought ot would he like 33-35 starts andersen and 21-23 Campbell

 

[Muston Atthews]

No way he has a groin injury if they pull Hutch and put him into a back2back.

just an excuse for his terrible play

 

[PromisedLand]

jeez rest Freddy; find a way to play hutch with solid defensive games. if we can go .5 for about a 10 game stretch and then heat up that would be fine

 

[DaWatcher]

Do Canadians trust their news? I haven't done that in a very long time. This even has the weasel word in it - believed. Why would you put that in there unless you made it up? Either you confirmed he has a groin injury or you're guessing and feel the need to print it.

I like you dude....

It would be nice if our GM could get a reliable goalie that isn't made of glass.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Tough news he's certainly looked really off lately. Thing is this has turned into a multi-year thing. It's not just the last 6 games or this season. Freddy has looked off since last season or before and his sv% shows it.

I hope he heals up and comes back 100% with a big effort down the stretch but I'm not sure if he'll ever get back to where he was. We haven't seen steady Freddy consistently in some time now.

 

[Coachcorner]

So when is our secondary goalie Jack Campbell going to be healthy enough to play ice hockey no?

He has played like 3 games the whole season....... wow.

 

[paulhiggins]

It’s mentioned in this article. I though something is up. Not another p!ssed off at him word coming from my posts. Jeezus rest the guy and give the net to Campbell was probably the plan all along. Anyways, first mention anywhere is in this article. Kind of wish we’d known right.
What’s wrong with the Maple Leafs? Nothing a healthy dose of Jack Campbell and Wayne Simmonds couldn’t help

I posted suspected groin issues here last Wednesday! Hope they give him a rest.

if he's playing through a groin injury why is he playing?

because there is no choice, Campbell can't play and wr know Hutchinson can't start, and the idea that Woll who has barely played the past year is ridiculous.

There Is no choice

Who was it that brought it up last week. I missed that completely. They want/need Campbell back badly. Freddy playing backup or flat out healthy scratch would be awesome

 

[McSnypsky]

I'm assuming cause Campbell is injured and it's a contract year for him.

I don't believe these sentences neither sire. I'm a andersen believer and follower, but do not think these groin thangs is true. It can't be. We have other goalies to play.

Yes i trust mainstream news. Do i read right through their agenda and areas they are trying to drive public opinion, absolutely do. Do i watch it every day. Are you out of your mind lol. I’d need to be drunk 24/7 if i watched depression dripping news every day. F*** news. Luckily I’m a sports fan ha. Anything fun gets a pass. News,not dat much fun.

Dude don’t fret. Next thing you know you won’t even be able to watch a football game without thinking they are talking about you every time they go in to a huddle.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Freddy hasn't been good enough for more than a year

 

[LeafSteel]

Can’t we get the zamboni guy at least???

 

[grits207]

Anton Forsberg is on waivers today. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we claim him considering his cap hit is only $700k and he wouldn't need to quarantine for 14 days.

I didn't realize that the reptilians were that interested in the Leafs but it sure does explain a lot.

 

[zeke]

There is no way that the Leafs would let a goalie play through a groin injury.

It doesn't even make sense.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Boo hoo. Always an excuse with him. Always.

I've had a lot of experience spotting fake news in the last few years, so it's a bit of an acquired talent. This story had that smell to it.

 

[sxvnert]

ya sorry not buying this from the Media Freddy Defence Alliance

Its like clockwork. Fans voice their opinion on player X, media jumps into action to defend said player.

 

[Clark4Ever]

This will be an issue for Freddy the rest of the season. Groin injuries are extremely difficult on goaltenders in particular.

We can't count on him being 100% at any point moving forward. Campbell seems to be even more fragile, and despite his excellent play in a very limited sample size, we can't count on him either.

This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed or we're going to waste another season with our core intact.

 

[paulhiggins]

Robidas Island is only a boat ride away.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Well, rest him then. No point risking exacerbating the injury in order for him to play like crap.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Andersen's groin is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point, I can't imagine he's ever going to actually be at 100% for the rest of his career.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Do it if you can ...

Not right now I’m definitely not. After this sh!t passes maybe. I’m decent enough shape to.
