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

[Teeder Keon]

And the players are playing through
a “groin injury “ in the net

 

[Dekes For Days]

If he has a groin injury, I'm not sure why he's playing.

 

[ShaneFalco]

If he has a groin injury, I'm not sure why he's playing.

Yeah these weren't must-win games or anything - doesn't make sense they'd risk aggravating things

 

[zeke]

If he has a groin injury, I'm not sure why he's playing.

He wouldn't be.

Hey I just wanted to remind everyone that nobody considered Fred a real #1 goalie before he came to Toronto.

I like you, Budz!

I like you, Budz!

Fred is an easy move based on his actual $$ left in contract.

Also, we all saw what happened when Muzz went down in the playoffs. We need another D man.

The extra cap space gets us a top 6 forward

I wouldn't say we "need" a dman at all tbh.....but in this case Ekholm is just so damn good and so affordable that I'd be happy to add him and give ourselves the most stacked dcorps in hockey.

“need” may be the wrong word. If all 6 stay healthy the rest of the year - then he is not a need. I like having the option to choose Dermott or Bogo depending who we are playing in the playoffs.

If one gets injured - he is a need.

Eh not many teams have the luxury of having talent like Lilly and Sandin ready to come in as injury replacements. We're good in the injury depth department imo.

But again, ekholm is so damn good that I'm on board.

 

[Golden_Jet]

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.

So Ottawa claimed him, as D’accord is the third string with the first 2 injured.
Garrioch says in his tweet , Forsberg needs to quarantine for 7 days and 4 negative tests.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Let's talk about something that hasn't been yet. The fact that Andersen came into this season what was 20 or 30 lbs heavier than he was last season.

 

[peconcan]

The way Freddys been playing he probably won’t be resigned we should just trade him for something and ride Campbell the rest of the way assuming he’s healthy, and trade for a reliable backup to play behind or split time with Jack

 

[saffronleaf]

I'm hopeful but honestly was hoping Freddy was gone before this season started; just don't think healthy Freddy takes us deep into the playoffs.

But that said with our new and improved defense, maybe a healthy Freddy will be good enough. But I don't know, I'd still like Dubas to look into the goaltender market.

 

[saffronleaf]

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

lmao

 

[Joey Hoser]

Eh not many teams have the luxury of having talent like Lilly and Sandin ready to come in as injury replacements. We're good in the injury depth department imo.

I'm confident in those two as prospects, but not very comfortable with them being our injury replacements in the playoffs, unless they can show us something between now and then.

 

[zeke]

Well if we manage to go through the whole season with 0 injuries to our 6 dmen, then we can probably worry less about needing injury replacement in the playoffs.

 

[moon111]

What do you want him for?

A waiver claim? A roster spot? Honestly it really shouldn't be a big deal come or go, but it would be nice his position could step in.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Yo

u said punt him to the “moon” i was joking username hint lol

 

[justloveleafs]

Who honestly would want an injured Andersen? At this point, his only endearing feature is he looks a bit facially and lot physically like Turk the tub Broda.

 

[The Beyonder]

Was he injured all of last year as well, or in the play in round? He's been average to below for awhile.

 

[Mats13]

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

Probably because the alternative is Hutchinson. Don’t act like he has time to rest and recover in a shortened season.

Nevertheless, convenient timing but given his mobility recently definitely believable.

 

[Mats13]

Did the injury occur in February 2019? Because that's when his struggles started.

I’m going off memory here and don’t remember the exact month or year but Freddy hurt his groin about 1.5 years ago or so and he’s looked the same.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Freddy needs to rest. Our defense is good. We could use an extra person on defense, but if we can get soup and Freddy healthy and have that 1a 1b option in net. We could go for a serious run.
