I commented on Frederic's play leading to Halls' goal in the GDT, and I want to commend it again. He's a guy I've been a bit hard on sometimes because there have been times when he's looked listless or he's got himself confused as to what sort of player he wants to be and has ended up simply not doing anything very well. But his recent stretch has been really impressive and that one play - late in the game, the Bruins already 4 goals up, and he still battled hard and won a puck along the boards through sheer will power, and sent it inboard where it eventually wound up on Hall's stick then in the net - to me exemplifies his improvement.
Tenacity, playing to the final whistle, making every shift count. Freddie's doing it, they're all doing it, and they're getting the rewards. You play well and are willing to go harder when you're having fun, and boy are these guys having themselves a good time!
