Quoting: Isles777
I'm not just chirping your bottom 6* players, I am calling out your top 4 D and Frederick Andersen, who always chokes in game 7's and had an awful year last season.
The homer leafs fan says the islanders aren't going to be better next season , sounds like an objective statement to me
The islanders are adding dobson, wahlstrom and a franchise caliber goaltender, I think they'll be alright!

Also keep in mind he plays behind one of the worst defensive teams in the league, if not the worst defensive team. Freddy doesn't blow playoff rounds, he's literally the only reason this team makes the playoffs at all.
Not here to participate in the ongoing Buds vs Isles debate, although if results are the metric used, Isles are the better team currently. I just wanted to chime in on Freddy because he gets dumped on far too often when really he's been the MVP on this team 4 years running. If he was on a team like Columbus or NYI he'd have multiple Vezinas by now. Sure, you could point to this past year as an off year, but considering what happened with the team(multiple injuries to only good D, dramatic firing of head coach, pandemic, etc) I would consider it more of an outlier than a trend, and he showed well in the play-in round(1.84, .936). My two cents.
