“Freddie’s a big boy,” said head coach Mike Babcock. “One of the reasons you go to see him in the off-season is you talk about the maturation of a goalie and a starter and how mentally tough you got to be to get to where we want to go.” “We had a little Danish thing with our meal so he happened to be talking to me about it,” Babcock revealed. “And we talked about it. It was just one of those things that, he’s been around a long time and I think for all of us getting a good slapping once in a while is a good thing. You just adjust and you get back at it.”
“I mean, maybe the second goal I didn't like too much,” he said in his post-game scrum, “it was a rolling puck, but what can you do?”Frederik Andersen will be back in net tonight against the Flyers after being pulled in consecutive starts for the first time in his 300-plus game NHL career. After allowing eight goals on the last 33 shots, Mike Babcock knows Andersen is mature enough to handle the hot seat.
