Freddie Andersen speaks to the media after being named a finalist for the Masterton Trophy 

Right. You sure don't have to throw some something in there. No, I can't. Uh, this is question for Freddie. Freddie. We talked about the, the master time when you were nominated for it. Uh, and you said, you know, obviously had meaning to you about everything you went through being a finalist. Does it kind of take that to another level, I guess, uh, a little bit maybe, but it doesn't change too much about how I see it. Obviously, I'm just fortunate of, of, of the help I've gotten. Um, I mean, everyone goes through some adversity and, yeah, I mean, just, uh, I feel I'm proud of the way I've handled it. But, uh, again, just, uh, yeah, I'm really thankful for the, the, the help and opportunity I've gotten to, to come back. Freddie. Have, have you even surprised yourself about how well you've come back from it? I mean, you know, just, uh, as good as you were down in the regular season now you're playing every game and, and yet you've just continued that consistency. Yeah, I think I'm just having fun with it. Uh, just being, being grateful to be back has, has has fueled me a lot. Um You, yeah, you go through a tough time when you sit out for that long and, and not being able to be in the room with the guys. Um, obviously that, that has really, yeah, I've been eye opening and I've been enjoying every, uh every second of it, Ro Rod just said that when, when this, when, you know, you were first sort of dealing with this, he wasn't sure what the outcome would be, whether you'd even be able to play. Was there doubt in your mind that you'd be able to play again or did you sort of how, and, and, and how did you handle that? Um, I think it was obviously a very scary situation. Um, and right away, I just wanted to learn a little bit about what, what, what I was gonna have to deal with and, and again, just take it day by day, but again, lean on, lean on all the, the great doctors that I've seen and, and have that have helped me out through this time, just been, been really nice. So obviously a lot of great, great people in my life personally too that, that have, um, yeah, I've been there along the way, so just, just kind of leaning on them and, and, and not, not look too far ahead. So that was really the focus. Um, for me, Freddie, obviously you talked when you came back, how maybe you had to change up things a little differently. How you do things at this point. Are you just kind of having a new normal? Is it kind of almost in the back of your head? You don't really think about this too much or is this kind of something that sticks with you? And you still have to kind of take about it day by day. Again. I'm just leaning on the guys, uh, the, the medical staff we have here is phenomenal. And um again, people in my circle has been great. So just yeah, getting that help uh and, and support it has been nice and then being able to be back in the, on the ice and in the room with the guys just been been so much fun. And um again, I'm enjoying it day by day and, and not, not trying to look too far ahead Freddie in a year where you guys were rotating pretty much a lot, whether it was you and Pyotr Ranta getting in their Spencer occasionally. Do you find it's difficult right now going five games in a row and potentially even doing a couple of games in a row in the next series. And the second question, what are you saying to Pyotr to kind of keep him up and make sure he's sharp during practices. Again, just not looking too far ahead. I think that's the, that's the main issue or main, main focus is for goalie at, at any time of year trying to try to enjoy the moment you're in and, and, and just competing and battling for, for whatever it is in the practice. He's really good at that. I think he keeps a very light spirited uh attitude out there and you guys can see it. So he's, uh, I think he's been awesome. He's been, yeah, he's very youth, youthful and, and energetic. So he's been, uh, he's been handling it really well and, and again, I think there will be time we're gonna rely on everyone on this team and, and, and he's part of that. So Freddie just uh what's it like playing in front of this fan base? So, you know, you always hear goalies names chanted after a great save, but I was struck the other night that they even, even after a goal against, they'll chant your name almost like a, a form of encouragement. Um You know, it just seems like a special, special market to play in front of. Yeah, very, very special. You know that um the the other support we get here is uh is unreal. So just been really fun and, and um yeah, your ears getting uh you can definitely hear their uh all their chants and stuff. So it's been uh it's been awesome. You mentioned that Pyotr keeps it pretty light. Did you notice he was racing you during the skate there? He was putting a stick out, trying to, trying to beat you. He's well rested right now. He's uh no, he's, he's good. He's uh I was uh yeah, just battling. But yeah, it was good. All right. Thanks Freddie.

Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. Saturday is now a wr weather alert day. Our southern counties are in a level two risk for severe storms and we have a level one risk for the rest of the viewing area. Almost all of it timing mid to late afternoon and evening, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes would be the main threat is isolated tornadoes potentially in our southern counties. And those counties are Wayne County, Sampson County, Cumberland County and Hoke County. And then most of the remainder of the viewing area in that level one risk, we could see some wind damage. We take a look at the big picture and we had deadly thunderstorms coming through Houston yesterday and last night, they continued to slide eastward with a lot of scattered severe weather, severe thunderstorms mostly. And you can see where that is now down in the deep south along the Gulf coast. And so that system is headed our way and it will linger around the area through the weekend. Checking out futurecast this morning, we'll see a mix of sun and clouds. None of these days today. Tomorrow or Sunday will be a total wash will be dry this morning. There's nine o'clock. After lunchtime we start to see a few isolated storms developing. There's two o'clock, five o'clock again, you can see it's just widely scattered there at five o'clock, seven o'clock, a storm or two, but some heavy rain potentially and some dusty winds. And then tomorrow we have the severe threats Saturday in the morning, 6 a.m. there's 9 a.m. maybe a Sprinkle or two, probably going to be cloudy in the morning, but we're still fairly dry at lunchtime. And then once we get into the mid to late afternoon, that's when we'll have a better chance for storm three o'clock. The showers and storms down south five o'clock around the triangle area and then that continues to lift northward. So not a ton of coverage out there for Saturday, but we do have that potential severe threat in our southern counties. Weather watcher in Sanford. Kristen Cox said this is beautiful sunrise there. You can see some high cloud cover there for us. We're going to see increasing clouds and showers and storms this afternoon. 82 Raleigh 81 Durham, 85 in Fayetteville. And the Mikey meter is sitting at tolerable with a due point of 62. It will be a little higher over the weekend of the showers and storms, but it dips a little bit from Monday and Tuesday with some sunshine and some actually fairly pleasant temperatures. Saturday, the Bin Bay Cultural Arts Festival is happening in downtown Durham. Of course, we do have a level one risk for severe storms in Durham. Not a washout but scattered storms. And the later you wait in the day, the better chance we'll have of seeing some of those thunderstorms. It does look a little drier and quieter for much of next week.
