Canvoucer Vanuck Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Wow, 17 points in 10 games. Nice to see him producing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 This is the kind of thing I like to see. Finding late round gems with some future potential. It may not happen often, but good teams find guys like that. I wonder if next season Chicago will have more Canuck prospects than free agents signed by the club?

It may not happen often, but good teams find guys like that. I wonder if next season Chicago will have more Canuck prospects than free agents signed by the club? They're already there. Jensen, Matson, Corrado are all playing. Parent is back playing. In fact last game 12/19 of the dressed players (not including the backup) were of Canucks property.

avelanch Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 the backup is also canucks property. Climie was signed by us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Heyman Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 From the looks of it, Freezer is an Alternate Captain on the Ice Dogs, that's an interesting fact that I wasn't aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Heyman Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Friesen plays the point on the PP. Now that's interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 2nd over. Still 0-0. Lots of chances both ways. Friesen has had a couple good chances but not exactly playing how I'd expect a scoring leader to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ice Dogs with a 2-1OT win. Freezer pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks for the updates, Hansen 36. I imagine that Friesen will start cooling off offensively. He had a great series against Brampton but even junior he's a defensive player. As long as he's playing a key defensive role for the IceDogs and putting up decent points, I'm happy. Like I said before, I think we can expect Friesen to play for the Wolves next year. The Canucks don't have many strong centre prospects so unless the Canucks or Wolves sign other centres next year, I think Friesen has a good chance of making the roster full time.

At Freezer's age he has to be putting up a pretty good point clip. He is definitely putting up a few more points than expected though, which is great. Another cool thing to note is that he only has 8 PIMs, whereas in the season he had 106 in 62 games. Looks like he understands when to play disciplined. Only seems natural that he & Archie will play together next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Friesen had no points and was +1 for the Niagra IceDogs in a 5-2 win in Game 3 of their OHL semifinal series against the Ottawa 67's. The IceDogs now lead the series 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive considering the vast amount of talent on that IceDogs squad. Friesen and the IceDogs will now play the London Knights for the OHL championship and a trip to the Memorial Cup playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Friesen's team won game 1 of the OHL finals, and he had 1 assist in their 3-2 OT win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wonder if there's space under the contract limit to sign this kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 From the way he's playing, we will make room to sign him a contract. Friesen is the only player in the franchise that is having any playoff success this season, and he's having a major role and impact for his team. If they go on to win the OHL championship and possibly the Memorial Cup, and Friesen is doing major work as the shutdown guy, then we need to give him a long look. This guy is could be our 3rd line center in Chicago next season doing major shutdown work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a serious grasp of where other skater's momentum is taking them and where best to move the puck. He is really reminding me of Dave Bolland during this run.
