AJ Fredrickson

But now you see him trying to let the play come to him, which granted for a guy of his skill, like I expect the play to come to him, but it's not a,

it's not the constantly forcing himself into the play.

And like you said, pretty much saying like, notice me, look at, look at me.

I'm here.

You're getting, you're not getting this like Bob and weave back out where he's kind of like, maybe there's a scrum on the wall or there's, you know, whatever he, he's like a piston going down and up and like trying to, to constantly change his angle.

And if there's like a man on man situation, he's creating space.

Now it's more of the,

Frankly, it's more of the Ovechkin power play where it's just I'm going to kind of stand in this area.

And then I know my team's going to get it to me eventually.

And when I get the puck, then it's like on me to to be deadly and do the stuff that I do.

But in the meantime, I'm going to conserve my energy.

And granted, maybe maybe a season or two ago where it's like they're trying to play him 25 minutes a night.

I would be more in favor of this.

But now I almost think you don't need that.

Like last night, he played just a tick over 20 minutes.

you should be going back and doing that thing.

And that's where my eyes tell me, I still think he's doing a lot of the stuff normally.

So I don't think it's a dealing with an injury situation, but if that's the case, then why are you not doing what you're, what you just mentioned, Judd, which is your normal pickup.

Like he's a dominant puck possession guy.

Correct.
