"Miller-Helm-Hudler Miller scratched" esteef

I could just see one of the Wings skating off the ice yelling this as they're being taunted for losing last night. "Oh yeah? Well your mask is ugly!" esteef

Big E looks better than Kindl to me as well. He really uses his size and knocks guys off the puck in his own end and I like how he seems to police the ice for borderline hits and crap after the whistle on our players. I loved how he jumped Brule after the hit on Datsyuk even though the hit was legit. I just wish he'd stay at home more on defense. He seems to get burned quite often when he tries to jump up offensively. esteef

No ill will? How do you know this? Apparently the league thought differently because he was suspended. You act as though players/former players have no involvement in making these rules and it's just a bunch of suits who've never played the game messing everything up. Every one of these incidents will involve some sort of judgement from the ref calling the penalty to the league doling out further punishment. In this case it was determined by the ref and later by the league that Joe could've not targeted the head on an unsuspecting player to make the play. The hit was dangerous and unnecessary and was not a case of a player simply skating with his head down. The hit on Selanne is a perfect example of a player "not keeping his head up" not this one. esteef

Quoting yourself. Yer hot. esteef

Finish checks dammit! esteef

Thrashers take 'em to a shootout! esteef

Already have one here with a slightly different title. http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.php/topic/67266-hudler-is-lazy-and-he-sucks/ esteef

Agree. He didn't look so good the first half of the game, but picked it up once he played a little nasty throughout the second. Almost like Markov, maybe he needs to play mean to be more effective. esteef

This line actually looks pretty damned good! With Big E playing the Homer role! esteef

For once I'll actually get to root for Byfuglieaueien!! esteef

Sure he did, he sucked so bad everyone else had to play better, thus improving our record! esteef

Brad May wasn't expected to provide points, he was a fourth liner. May did his job. esteef

OMFG! He's a waste of a roster spot!! esteef

Right? Any and everything about poster boy has to be front page news. Hey NHL, did he take a crap today? Please tell us about it!! Forget that the Boston/Washington game was good or that Eriksson had a good night in Dallas, we want to hear about Crosby trash talking in a losing effort. esteef

Funniest quote from hockeyfights regarding that: "In the linesman's defense, it was a Red Wings game... I'm sure he didn't come to work tonight prepared to break up a fight." esteef

Cleary and Abby play so well together I don't think it would matter who is with them. esteef

The McRib has always been gross. That's why it mysteriously goes away for a while then returns when they think everyone has forgotten! esteef

You mean you don't like that they have one with Crosby scoring on the Wings EVERY year? WHY? esteef

It's all those people looking at porn! esteef

Salei looking like butt again. Hope Ericsson is ok. esteef

He's got a slight ankle issue. It's enough of an excuse for Babcock to get Hudler some playing time. Miller-Helm-Hudler esteef

I see. But if the call is made and the auto game misconduct will always be assesed, it shouldn't really have any bearing on the suspension duration, if there is one. Maybe they thought the hit was severe enough or blatant enough? Maybe Joe's a repeat douchebag? Who knows? esteef

I never said you said it wasn't. Your statement made it sound like the suspension was excessive "since" he got the game misconduct. esteef
