AJ Fredrickson

I'm not, I'd like to think it's Ottinger, but also he just hasn't played.

So,

Can he all of a sudden shake off flying over there, being in the village, kind of taking in this experience to now I got to lock in and play goalie.

I don't know.

Yeah, Boldy's been fantastic.

I'm glad to see he's finally starting to get his flowers, but I still don't even, I don't think it's enough.

He deserves a full bouquet by how good he's been playing.

He seems to be creating chances, I think, every single shift he's out there.

And because of some of the slow starts we've seen from this Team USA squad, they're not always capitalizing.

So the amount of points he has, I think probably you could tack on another three, four, five, just based on the missed chances.

And it seems like when you look at the raw stats are just like,

created chances by a certain guy or whatever he's been i think a top three guy in at least two of the three games if not all three for team usa so he is out there doing it on the offensive side but on the defensive side too besides that blunder that you mentioned jesse he has been tracking back the full 200 feet or i guess is it a little shorter it's what 185 there in milan yes uh yeah the neutral zones are a little shorter he's small yeah but uh you know it

Defensive stick, we know how good he can be.

He kills penalties for the Minnesota Wild.

He's been doing really good defensive work for Team USA.

He had that goal line stop where he kind of got the stick out and whatever.

I think that was against Latvia, but he has been getting...

little more of the superstar treatment that i think he deserves and i know we've kind of wrestled on this show are we going to call him a superstar and we know he's a star but like superstar is a different level i think just how he's been playing internationally i'm i'm ready to get him up like lower tier superstar don't get me wrong but right yeah but i think he's ascended into that level i think and we've talked about this on judd's hockey show um and on bard on beauties too

Vinny Trojak being on the team, I can understand like he's a center, but also I can hear the argument for being that fourth line killer guy type of thing.

I don't even like how he's been playing so far, but I at least see the value there.
