barnettkid14 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Jiri Hudler deserves to play in these playoffs. I don't know how much more he has to prove himself to the Red Wings staff. In the regular season he posted 10 goals and 15 assists along with a +16 rating. Being a 4th liner and all I say those are good stats. Now the first name that comes to mind to scratch would be Maltby, mainly because he only posted 6 goals and 5 assists at a -9 rating. The only reason I hesitate on Maltby now is because of his contribution in game 3 - he didn't get any points but he did contribute. So I've narrowed it down to Maltby or Bert. Why Bert you might be asking? Well - the Wings were doing fine until he returned, so why ruin a winning lineup. Enjoy, give your thoughts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Bert's coming off a concussion , Malts is tough and can get under peoples skin. I like Jiri , but I have no problems with him being benched. We didnt trade for Bert to bench him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Bert and Maltby sit? Why? Like Lang and Sameulsson have really been playing any better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omnipotent_hudler 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 I agree. Hudler should play. Though, I think we need Maltby for our PK. I would say bench Samuelson or Lang. I doubt Babcock changes the roster though unless we lose game 4. At the VERY least I would like to see Hudler become a permanent part of the lineup next season.

Guest Agalloch Report post Posted April 18, 2007 It still amazes me that people think guys like Bertuzzi should be sitting over Samuelsson. Honestly, it's dumb to think that way. Samuelsson is an awful player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Offsides 21 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Agreed. Jiri Hudler should play...he earned it in the regular season and the playoffs so far. I think, however, Bert shouldn't sit (unless he IS still bothered by the concussion) but it should be Sammy, most likely, sitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Yeah, it's terrible. I spent all of last game screaming at Samuelsson and Lang. Samuelsson flat out sucks; he's slow and clumsy. Lang ain't much better, but he sure is more effective when he's not on a line with another sloth. Based on the performance of Calder - Lang - Hudler when they were together, I'd say that this decision is a no-brainer. We might see it next game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Only two point in 2 games... he is one point ahead with his land lord in points... Hudler is Lazy, but he obviously doesn't suck... Although he Should be benched perminantly and not brought back next season. Edited April 19, 2007 by OsGOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Offsides 21 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Only one point in 2 games... he is tied with his land lord in point... Hudler is Lazy and he sucks... he Should be benched perminantly and not brought back next season. He has 2 points in 2 games. And was also valuable to another goal that he didn't get an assist for, but was on the ice. Also...he played what like 15 minutes in the 2 games...

jpfalcon09 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Yay, another who should play/who should sit thread...wonderful. While we all are clamoring for Lang or Sammy to sit, they won't. Lang's a veteran presence and a big body, and Sammy is now on the point on the PP. Hudler's a "rookie" and therefore is the odd man out. If Flip hasn't scored 2 goals, he may have been picked to sit too. Point is, unless something drastic happens, Hudler's not going to play, simple as that.

Hmm, you'd think I'd catch that sitting right across from him, eh? He's a funny guy, that OsGod PS. He got his stats wrong, I HAD TO get him on that...(he's since fixed it..)

barnettkid14 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Everyone has made some very good points about Sammy and Lang, they have not been productive this post-season at all. After looking at Aflec's GDT, it looks as though Sammy is dropped to 4th line. Personally I'd like to see Hudler there with Franzen and Flipper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I agree, I think that Hudles should play, but I think that Samuelsson should be benched because he hasn't been playing that well and in my opninion Bert should move up to the 2nd line and Hudles should play on the 4th line with filpulla and franzen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
