LQR Game 43: Something about Frederic :Devils @ Bruins
Dude D dude dude dude don’t trade one of your goalies this year okay I won’t yes okay now I’ve got the best goalie on the market what trade deadlines coming up and now I’ve got the best no no I get that part you’re not talking about Elvis
Are you uh yeah Merin has had like two 900 plus starts in the last two weeks doesn’t matter oh I think it might I’m telling you right now someone is going to pay big to fix their goal tending problem I don’t think anyone’s dumb enough to pay big to fix their issue
With Elvis M hey oh Columbus can I ask you a question ha you thought it was going to be a Leaf’s joke but nope we’re switching it up it was a Cane’s joke just to make sure keeping you guys on your toes this feels unnecessary onto the video lowquality
Fans high quality Bruins team that that is a dub I don’t really have a voice today for a completely normal reason that we’re not going to get into right now the Devils what a dub the devils are hurting the devils are really hurting this team I know it was a lot of
People’s pick to go deep they were young they were really good last year man they just I I don’t know how you could keep losing Talent at this rate and and keep competing if they had and they had started in a way where you go okay well this you’re already putting
Yourselves in a hole if anything goes wrong this season well there it is right tough tough tough tough but who’s missing right now is Jack Hughes Sean thaler poot Meyer and I think Brenan Smith just went down we’ll see what that injury is and I think it’s a couple
Other like maybe not the high-profile guys but I’m pretty sure there’s other injuries than that most of those guys are pretty important to their very good offense and very good power play which ranks fourth the power play ranks fourth uh in the League which I think it was
One or two last time we played and then offensively in general they rank fifth which is great both of those things are great but this team has to rank that highly because defensively they stink their goals allowed average is 28th in the league and their PK ranks 23rd they give up
Some big chances their coaching isn’t great from what I hear from actual Devils fans they tell me that they’re pretty upset with it but more than just blaming the structure or the defenseman goal tending is terrible Akira Schmid has been sent back down to the comet uh
Comets the AHL affiliate for them I really thought Schmid was going to take that role by the by the Reigns and I should know better that not a lot of goalies come in and look good and they just grab it like that but I thought and then vanich has been terrible he’s got
An 882 save percentage through their season so far but there is hope because Nico do who you probably just watched in action is pretty great through four games before this one which was great in this one too he’ had a 917 save percentage and a 2.77 goals allowed
Average if he can stay steady in that position that Devil’s team looks way better the problem is all of their offense is dying like all of them are getting injured so even if they switch to hey we’re really strong defensively now or even okay defensively they’re not scoring enough for us we’re still
Missing some players too omark ptra Carlo and forbore are all still out they’re all all skating though they all did skate this morning we should be getting close to having at least a few of these guys back in the next week week and a half I would think the lines go as
Such Martian Coy pook hinen zaka debrusk jvr Bist geeki and then Lao Frederick Steen Grizz McAvoy Lind W thepoon lorai shaton Kirk probably the biggest thing that stuck out to people and something that initially didn’t bother me either Frederick on the fourth line a lot of people didn’t like that move we’re going
To talk a little bit about that little later but let’s talk about this game shall we puck drops Bruins were dominant right there full stop Bruins dominant through the first we’re going to out shoot them 16 to9 through this the high danger chances are going to be 9 to one
And I’m summarizing already because the period is going to end z0 this one hurt just because of how many opportunities we had in front of do and we just can’t bury one but you can’t sit there and be that mad you don’t score on everything
And you go this about as good as a team can look without scoring it’s a pretty good start 508 into the matchup zaka is going to draw a boarding call by Marino barely draws it he’s just standing there and just takes a boarding hit I don’t
Know why I put it that way it’s not like he created it and with 16 seconds left of that power play we are going to get a five on three cuz nemit clears the puck from his zone out over the glass that 53 does nothing for us really and then we
Pretty immediately give up a pretty spicy two on two the other way which swan has to stay sharp for but for 40 seconds into the new PP we’re going to set up we’re going to get the puck moved around and at one point jvr standing directly to the left of Daws is left
Alone they’re just like ah I’m sure he’s fine defense is a little too high pass directly down to jvr he’s going to Pivot and roof it glove side on Daws but the original entrance for the power play was offside so it stays 0 the power play looked really good
After that too we just couldn’t couldn’t get anything going and we’re going to go to the second period the second period you got to be concerned to start how often maybe not this season so much but great first period you’re dominant you have more chances and then what
Happens to open the second you get scored on like immediately or you get scored on at the end of the first because that tends to happen usually too but not this time because the Bruins came out in the second ready to play and 30 seconds in going to pick it up right
Where we left off and Grizz with a perfect Breakout pass a pasta going through the neutral zone he’s going to see Maran on his left he’s going to feed it over to him Marian’s going to escate halfway down that left wall slam on the brakes surveys the area finds Cole
Coming down the left side of the slot Chuck it to him Cole’s going to fake as if he’s going to go far side on do do opens up just enough Coy brings it back on his backand and flicks it over the glove side and it’s one Zer that one’s
Not getting called back although there was a moment where we thought they were going to review that one too which would have been frustrating but it was on sides so there you go 6:30 in a Nifty pass sequence by the Devils opens up basically a two-on-one against wat spoon
And he breaks up the pass dude’s been good dude’s been good my note there is literally hell yeah hell yeah brother all right 923 in mcloyd and uh McLoud and McAvoy get into it we’re going to go to 4v4 for two minutes during the 4v4 nemit and Marian
Are going to get romantic that was weird but hey no calls were made n does rip Martian’s helmet off but Martian started this so I’m I I’m pretty sure he started it he he got in his face about it too so it’s fine the last play that I’ve noted
Here was infuriating 3 minutes left jvr Springs from the dzone we have the puck in our Zone geeki has it and he misses van rdik by like six feet for the Breakaway it’s just so wide uh third period is going to start we’re up a goal
You feel fine you feel fine right most of you went oh we’re going to overtime again great and I kind of agree either way 210 in geeky flying down the left wall is going to draw way too much attention from the defense makoy going down the right side of the slot is just
There and the defense had completely moved towards geeky the pass is going to get to him it was a great pass makoy pump fakes forehand and tries to drag it around dos and then goes off the post and out devastating but we are going to go to the power play because a slap
Flashing call was drawn during it and during that power play 111 into an absolute Onslaught we are winning every Puck and just resetting over and over and over and finally Martian’s going to end up with a puck on the right side and he just circles his way from the right
Circle up into the top of the slot and he’s going to feed makoy who fills in for him on the right Circle and makoy is going to go across the crease to Pasto who’s going to hammer this from his office short side it’s two Z power play
Goal for pasta there is no shame in any of daw’s game for any of these goals that guy deserved a win is what he deserved 546 in Martian he’s going to draw a tripping from T foi we’re going back to the power play no dice with it 9 minutes left geeki
Breakaway guess what happens I’m mean to geeky why am I being so mean to geeky I shouldn’t be mean to geeky either way he doesn’t score on it though 716 left Frederick for high sticking penalty kill we kill it and then 247 left do is going to get pulled
And Martian has two chances on this one he misses the net from the neutral zone and the next somehow nit knocks the puck out of the air just a great save by him so poor Martian doesn’t get it Freddy gets to make the hustle play with a am
Of minute and a half left he blocks a shot then intercepts a pass on the blue line bumps the puck forward gets into a foot race and when it’s Crossing into that left Circle in their defensive Zone he makes a diving play just to smack it
Towards the net and it goes poting in the hockey Gods reward him and it’s 3-0 that’s your final score Bruns dub regulation dub it’s that easy it’s that easy and in the game notes like comment subscribe nailed it in the game notes great performance by sway it was awesome he was
Awesome weird moment with him right now because sway brought up arbitration recently when asked about his performance and everything going forward uh and and he made it seem real bad that arbitration sucked he basically said that no players should have to hear what they hear in arbitration I don’t think it’s a big
Deal I don’t think it’s like a guy who’s saying like I’m not signing with these guys I don’t like these guys I just think that’s how arbitration is they prepared these players like it’s not going to be pleasant try not to take anything personal here we go arbitration sucks I wouldn’t be too
Worried about that other game notes I wasn’t initially upset about the Frederick on the fourth line cuz like that fourth line is going to be kind of nasty and him and Steen had a really good game loo had a couple good shifts but again just especially defensively
He’s not doing what he needs to do but even though Frederick finds more minutes elsewhere like the penalty kill and some second power play unit time I don’t he’s not a fourth line guy he deserves more minutes I’d like to have him in the 16-minute range honestly just because of
His recent play and if he cools back down you can drop him again but he’s been great and I think he deserves middle six minutes and then a couple notes about two defenseman Grizz has looked way better the past couple games what the hell happened I love it I’m not
Upset about it I want this version of Grizz for the rest of the season is it great you’re not knocking him out of the the lineup right this second if somebody gets healthy you’re not doing it which leads to a different question water spoons Advanced analytics for this one
Don’t look great I I think there’s some of that gets explained away but not worth doing a deep dive into it he’s been really good he’s been really quietly good he’s very confident in this game even made a couple of pinch plays which I liked but he’s just been a
Really steady defenseman and although I think 7th D is still right for him it’s kind of hard to knock him out of the lineup right now he’s going to get knocked out when everyone’s healthy but I think he’s been really solid all right guys it does it for me another game
Coming up against the ABS on Thursday should be another doozy I feel good I feel good with the way this team’s at I really do you’re winning the games you should be winning and you’ve got a K record against the better teams we’ll take it right now we’ll take it Go bees

Devils are just plagued with injuries. They have so many guys hurt. and the Bruins took advantage of that at times the Devils looked sloppy and they had a lot of bad turnovers. The Bruins really were all over them and swayman made some great saves. Pasta always has that great one timer
Fun fact of the day: Swayman is in top 5 of all the time save%
Went to the game, Freddy was great, hard working, only guy really putting it about.. and the effort for that goal -just wanted it MORE!!
Lohrei was promising too
Tommy point for Freddy?
Totally thought it was gonna be the Leafs
I think Trent is a second line or 3rd line … also he is the tough guy …. He has played amazing
I gotta knkw what's the total jersey count ?
Elvis had a celly today after the shootout victory for Columbus. Yes they won, but it was pretty animated. Cracked me up….
Also, glad to see Ticketmaster as the 3rd goalie again.
Big Win for my BDay…glad I had the day off! Another great post! You would be surprised with whom I share your posts:)
It seems like every time our power play looks bad, we score, and every time it looks good, we don't. Also, I forgot what extended O zone time looks like. Crazy.
Freddy being on the 4th line was weird, but Monty gave him some real praise on the bench after his effort on the EN goal … love how he’s been playing … but I think it also shows he’s willing to play wherever the team needs him. Go B’s!!!!
Look at Frederic's picture. Guy looks – and has played – like an alien possessed.
anything to keep us above the rest of the East
Great report LQ, I was impressed with the Bs defense and their PK is awesome. Nice e to see McAvoy awake and on the Plus side.
Been saying for awhile Frederic needs a look on the top line.
Should be the "Low Qual Gallery Gods" or some such for your Patreon members
GO B’s!!!!!
I’m with you. Freddy shouldn’t be on the 4th line. The only saving grace is Monty shifts lines all the time. So nothing new there.
my favorite goal of the year by far was Freddy's backhander against the Wings. Scores, takes out goalie, and challenges the D-man in a 10 second period
Ok but technically by saying we thought it was going to be a Leafs joke it became also a Leafs joke. Checkmate.
How you manage to guess what I was thinking during the game basically every video during the recap is terrifying/impressive
Go B's!
Dougie Hamilton is a huge loss for the devils as well. Was having a good season until he got hurt.
Also do the Bruins actually… miss… Forbort since he’s been out??
Trent Freddy really goin for that 7th Player Award…hard. Sweeney needs to act on Swayman. That arbitration comment is a shot across the bow, sign him. Build from the back out. Go Bruins!
Am I the only one who gets a chuckle every ending roll call with the stylized/personalized names and the dramatic tone and it just ends with "aaaand Jeremy". Idk who you are Jeremy, but I need you to stay subbed.
I’m not sure how anyone else’s feed was during the first two periods…but, the glitching audio and video. Was horrendous. Only for them to cut to commercial break IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAY! Then we came back to see MSGSN. I hate homers. “McLeod and McAvoy having a tussle! I’m sure McAvoy will find that McLeod can handle himself quite well!” Then a minute later when Marchy gets his helmet ripped off, and Freddy goes to engage “you know, I like the Devils” no shite, it’s not like you have mentioned anything about the Bruins in the last 5 minutes of play. Only DEVILS! Thankfully it was back to NESN after that.
Definitely felt like we routed them early in the game. Happy we got Sway another Shutty on the season. Kid deserves every one of them.
I can’t wait for the rematch on Monday. My home town team vs the spoked B. I hope we have a healthy and strong Defensive Core for that game. Forbort back, Carlo. We need both back. Our Penalty Killing is suffering. Pretty confident with Ullmark and Zacha out for now. As we have enough depth that, we aren’t in desperate need (currently) as we still have a plethora of solid forwards/centres and goalies (Sway, DePietro and Bussi iirc)
For once I was able to watch 90% of the game, AND WE WON!
I'll either come back to this video later or to the next video with my full mid season review. It's just gonna take awhile. In the mean time all I really have to say for this game was that it was really nice seeing basically every bruin playing a really solid game. Very nice to see Grzelcyk have such a solid 2 way play again, and I hope he continues this for the rest of the season. Frederic continues to show that no matter the line he can find great chemistry and be very impactful on the team, much like Heinen. Very important to have a couple of these utility players you can rely on in any role you need them to play. Lastly really hoping Bussi gets into one game before Ullys return, he played very well in the preseason and has had an alright season in the AHL. Go B's? GO B'SSSSSSSSSS
Freddy gets promo to third line
Poitras going to have to fight him for spot.
Coyle and Zacha locked in 1 and 2.
I will gladly eat my Gryz shoe leather if he keeps this up LQBF 😂
At 700,000 k cap hit how can you demote Wootherspoon. Are we actually developing players again? Oh my hat off to Sweeney.
Great game all around. No complaints at all except I would like to see Jake and Freddie get more pp time.
You got me. I was so expecting Leafs LowQual. 😂
Loved the hustle by Freddie! And yeah, their goalie had a great game, but we still won.
