Rob the Badger 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2005 Bob Kaser was saying on the radio that his 8 points in 7 periods of hockey is a new Griffins record. I doubt he'll keep up that kind of pace, but it's great to see him playing better than he did last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimeBinder 28 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 Do you really think it wise to trade him based on size, i understand if he's streaky, injury prone etc. but the young talent is thin and yet to prove itself. If he maintains his play consistency it would would be foolish and at this stage you'll just give him away for nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p_diddy_datsyuk_13 2 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 hopefully he can be successful in the NHL at his size... hes proving he can play at all levels... hopefully he can take his game to the top... his size would be what stops him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egroen 384 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 Wow. I recall reading that every new level he gets to... whether it was juniors, international play or whatever he was always forecasted to suffer because of his lack of size and speed and yet he has continued to dominate every level he is at. It's the same reason he was taken so low in the draft and now he is proving he can dominate at the AHL level. I love it, I hope he keeps proving himself next year in the NHL.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 Atta boy Jiri!!! I wish he would of played like this in pre season so we could of been in the line up. But hey, he gets more ice time in GR. So all the more power to him. Keep it up!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob the Badger 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 Hat trick tonight. 5 games, 9 goals, 4 assists, for 13 points. Obscene. peace How sick are those stats. How long can he keep this up? I heard one media member saying that Hudler could be one of the most talented members of his "Draft" class, but his size would keep him out of the NHL. Well, with the new rules, and if they keep calling the games the way they are... maybe he can fill in a Kariya or St. Louis type role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though hopefully his hockey sense/instincts, which has gotten him this far, can get him into a productive NHL career. peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob the Badger 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Hudler is definitely not a speedster. During the faster skater competition during the AHL all star game in Grand Rapids, Nate Robinson blew his doors off, then reinjured his groin. Jiri's not exactly slow either and is a decent skater. His nose for the net and ice-vision could allow him to survive in the NHL. Though if he does get caught along the boards by a lumbering goon... well, I just hope they make body bags in petite sizes.

MrKnowItAll 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Does anyone think Babcock's comments about Hudler in the preseason helped motivate him to play like a maniac? Basically he told him (and the press) pretty plays are nice, but not if they score goals. It seemed to me Babcock was being honest, not harsh and with constructive critisicsm. If you ask me, Jiri is answering the challange and that is great to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimeBinder 28 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 I belive Babcock did motivate him(I posted a thread on this). He was playing poorly in TC and pre-season; then Babcock had a little chat with him and that night he scored his first goal. Ever since he's been lighting the lamp.
