For the love of Freddy

It’s really a sad thing that Fredrik Norrena is leaving and while it certainly isn’t a happy departure for anyone involved, we do need to remember what Norrena did for the hockey club.

Norrena was there when Pascal Leclaire was on constant IR.

Norrena was the FIRST goaltender in franchise history to finish with a better than .500 record.

Bye Freddy

Norrena has been assigned to Syracuse. It’s sad to see him go out this way, but to be honest, I’m not surprised. His play hasn’t been the same, and you know what he is capable of, but for whatever reason he’s not showing us.

I don’t think he is going to report to Syracuse, more than likely he returns to Europe to play.

Freddy Norrena is on waivers. We will find out at noon tomorrow if he clears waivers.

According to Puck-Rakers Norrena declined to go to Syracuse on a conditioning assignment.

I honestly don’t think he’s going to be claimed, but what do I know?

Norrena signed in Sweden?

I was getting ready to write about the game when I read this. Norrena signed in Sweden. Uhm, wait, what? He has every right to leave, he’s not playing, however, he does have to ask permission.

So I went to the link he provided that claimed he had signed, translated it, and here is what I got:

Is it time to play hockey yet?

I hate having so many days off between games. It’s hard to talk about what the team should do now, since, well, there isn’t anything new I can say. Well, I can always say that I want the goat line back, but you know, that gets old pretty quick.

Derick Brassard is the winner of The Hockey News Calder vote. What does this mean? Well, nothing really. He doesn’t get a prize, but it is nice to see the kid get noticed. He has so much skill and is finally making the move to the top line with Nash and Huselius. Brassard is fun to watch, and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself. Derick Brassard is quickly becoming a fan favorite because he gives it all every single night. Every shift he is skating his hardest, and he gets better every single game. I fully expect him to win the Calder if he keeps this up.
