Freddy ranked 9th in NHL.com's list of top 10 goaltenders

[Critical13]

I don't agree with all of the rankings, but I think he's right around where he belongs.

Also, if you don't think there's an anti-Leaf circlejerk happening on the mainboards...https://hfboards.mandatory.com/posts/149079349/

I have him 11/10 so this is right imo.

NB they removed Price.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Habs Stan’s must be losing their minds over no Carey in the top ten

When we get "Stands on His Head" Freddie he's probably the best goalie in the NHL. When we get "Can't Stop a Beach Ball" Freddie, he's probably among the worst tenders in the NHL.

Given the percentages of games in each of those two extremes, 10-15 sounds about right.

I would like to see less of Bad Freddie.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Ranked* oops

Freudian slip?

 

[ottomaddox]

I think he's in good company there.

 

[nsleaf]

Freddy has not reached his greatness, YET. IMO he's got more to give.

 

[Moncherry]

That's surprising. Judging by this board, one would think he's a total sieve.

 

[thewave]

Should have ranked 11-14

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

McIllerney had a better GAA and Save %, maybe he should been in the top 5.

wouldnt those 2 extremes represent every goalie in the NHL?

It seems like any time a Leaf has been on one of these lists, the overwhelming debate has been why they shouldn’t be there.

 

[Jozay]

I think he's in the 12-15 range or so.

 

[Joey Hoser]

That's surprising. Judging by this board, one would think he's a total sieve.

Really? I think he's a solid-but-not-great starter, and this place seems to generally overrate him, to me.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Don't know if he is a 60+ start goalie. He seems to be burnt out by the time the playoffs roll around.

 

[56 Years No Cup]

No.

 

[DanM]

I love how Helle was trash last year in the Peg, and has less of a track record than Freddy, but is rated that high.

Some people lol

 

[Brown Dog]

Highly questionable. Not a top 10 goalie imo.

 

[Peiskos]

It seems like any time a Leaf has been on one of these lists, the overwhelming debate has been why they shouldn’t be there.

Leafs could have both McDavid and Crosby and people would still find ways to claim they aren't generational talents. Freddy is a very good starting goalie, bordering on elite. He isn't top 5 but inside the top 10 isn't unreasonable. He's the best goalie Toronto has had since Joseph and Belfour.

 

[Obliviate]

Freddy has not reached his greatness, YET. IMO he's got more to give.

solid defensive play by his teammates wouldn't hurt, either.

 

[Moncherry]

Really? I think he's a solid-but-not-great starter, and this place seems to generally overrate him, to me.

I don't think he's a top 10 goalie either, but he gets less credit than he deserves when plays well (which is often) and more blame than he deserves when he doesn't.

 

[saltming]

What? No reimer?

 

[Confucius]

absolutely, nobody cares where other players are ranked we hear next to zip about them, but Leaf players create dozens of pages of controversy. Leafs on everybody's mind, got to love it.

The list is really screwed up but Freddy in 8-15 range somewhere. But missing Price who is world #1, the King and Murray. Price and King were on very bad teams last year which i suspect list was based on. When Bob is your #1 then you have to take list with a grain of salt. If I had to pick guys to have on a Cup run Quick, Murray and Holtby would be my top 3. Big time big save goalies who make plays when game is on the line. Hopefully Freddy can be better when we get him a more reliable defence core.

I think Dubnyk > Freddy too.
