Not sure what all the Friesen hate is about...10 playoff goals in the '03 playoffs. He did suck after that, but he was solid in '02-'03 and he stepped up come playoff time that year.

He was always a headcase and seemed to lose it awfully quick after '03 (in 204 GP with 4 different teams from '03-'04 on, he scored just 27 goals and added just 33 assists), and he was awful in '03-'04, but he was the right guy at the right time in '03...Devils probably don't win that Cup without him.

HATE HATE HATE Freisen!! He had 1 good playoff run, and then was a no show for 2 years..

Besides, I think I won the most passionate poster 2 years in a row due to my Freeze rants!!

Friesen had 23 goals in 02-03 and 51 points that year. You think Sykora would have done a whole lot better?

His second year (and the rest of his career) was quite underwhelming but to call him a bust or anything is stretching it.

Why would anyone think that Kovy coming here some how made Parise go somewhere else? Without Kovy, the Devils are not getting close to the finals last year. The future looks half as bright, and the decision for Zach to leave would be made much much easier.
