With the Carolina Hurricanes' season over, Freddie Andersen speaks with the media.
I know the regular season probably didn't go as you had scripted, but your postseason probably took a lot of doubters and made an impression on a lot of people. How important was that to you to, you know, even if the regular season didn't go well to have a strong postseason. Yeah, I mean, you want to get, you want to get there to start and then you want to take it from there, just, just enjoy it, have fun with it and enjoy it. I enjoy playing in the playoffs. It's like I said, throughout the playoffs, it's been a while and it was a lot of fun to be back. Do you want to be back here next year? Yeah, absolutely. I think I really like it here. I hope, yeah, I hope we can get something done and, uh, yeah, hopefully, how do you approach that? Um, I know it's for you and your agent and management, but you don't wanna come back here one year, you want to come back and make a commitment, I imagine. Right. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's for us to discuss obviously to first. But, but, yeah, I mean, yeah, anywhere from a year or more I'm interested in. So I think I definitely my priorities to be back here, but we'll see what, see how it goes. And it's been a really good time here, my two years so far and I really enjoy, I enjoy the guys in the team. And I think, I think this one show that we have a lot of care in our, in our culture here and just the way we play for each other, I think it's been a really good pleasure. So I think, yeah, definitely, definitely believe in this group that, yeah, we can, we can do something special eventually, a couple of years ago, it seems goaltenders played 60 70 games in a season now. It seems the NH has really moved to that one A one B kind of thing. How do you kind of handled that situation with and how has that been to kind of go from playing and, you know, in the early period, some of the games to, you know, split load nowadays? I mean, it's different, I think, uh that the NHL has evolved so much that it's a quicker, quicker game, faster game, uh East West. Um that puts a lot more stress on goals. So I think that's probably natural. It'll turn that trend that way and yeah, for us as goaltenders, it's about just managing being sharp for that one game and, and recover for the next one. So I think. Yeah, me and had a really good relationship just to help each other out and I kind of take the ball and run with it a little bit once, if someone, if one of us was banged up a little bit and I thought, I thought we both had two good years so far. Hopefully more. All right, thanks Fred. All right. Thanks very much. Thanks.
