Keep Hudler in the lineup

[Guest GodofHockeyStevieY19]

I think its a good idea. Theres just something about getting certain guys together and things just mesh well. Nothing against Calder at all. I think hes great. But right now in this series atleast, I think Huds needs to stay in there!

[BlakChamber 8]

What exactly did Hudler do today that's so great?

were 3-0 with hudler in the lineup i say keep him .but after all the crap that went on today theres no doubt in my mind babcock will insert calder back in and take him out

he was constantly driving to the net, with clean crisp passes, thats what he did.

I love how people check goal and assist stats first, if they dont see the name, they assume he did nothing

Exactly, Well Said

[Offsides 21]

Huds played well with little ice time yet again. he's never really been bad in any of the games.

Unlike some players.

Thats the first thing I thought near the end of that game. Im sure Calder will be back in. And I actually wouldnt be upset at all if that does happen. But I just like the whole, if it aint broke, dont fix it type thing.

[Viperar 16]

put calder in, take sammy out

[Lamothe 5]

I think Hudler has done fantastic in the games he's appeared in. Keep the kid in.

I didn't check the stat sheet, I thought about the game I just watched and couldn't remember him doing anything that caught my attention.

Agreed. Keep Hudler in.

sometimes a player doesnt need a stand out performance. Hudler's play today might be under the radar compared to Zetter or Dats...but he played fantastic today for a rookie and a kid. Showed more maturity than some of the vets on Calgary's team. I know that aint saying much, but he played great

[Offsides 21]

The few times he was on the ice he had a lot of jump, and really seemed to try. Also, he got a penalty for almost scoring a goal...

Those are the same people who were quick to deal his ass before the trade deadline.

Half the team is that way. Bring Calder back and sit Sammy.

[Offsides 21]

Oh, and to add.

I loved the addition of Huddles, think he deserves more ice time, and think he played great.

However...Calds should be in...someone else should be out.

I really want Calder to stay, and really what has Hudler done today?

Did you guys see how pissed Calgary was today, I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but Calder could sorta be like bait. I mean really, everyones going after him, they'll take bad penalty's because of him, and we get more power plays. I just don't want him to get hurt, thats the only problem.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Listen , I love Calder , but he has been invisable , give him another chance in the 2nd round. Sammy is finishing his checks and getting scoring chances. There are no scpaegoats on this team anymore , Lilja and Samueslon are different players

This is a tough call for me. I like Hudler a lot, and he's been playing with enthusiasm, but in Calgary I think I'd prefer Calder, especially if we plan on being more physical than the Flames.

I think, Franzen, should be out.

[DyingAlive 27]

Take out Lang and keep Hudler and Calder.

I have seen Lang make sloppy passes and he hasn't been physical. Sure he had some opportunities today. When you play with talent put an AHL player on the ice and he is going to get some opportunities too.

I think, Franzen, should be out.

No offense, but are you kidding me? Franzen's been an asset in both zones, and has been skating hard in addition to throwing his body around.

[ColdWarrior 0]

Hudler's outplayed Sammy & Calder both & deserves to stay in. Personally, I think Sammy should sit for game 6... let the 1 game benching fire up calder a bit.

[CloudConnected 0]

I think, Franzen, should be out.

What??? You haven't been watching the games if you think that. Franzen's been great.

And to those who say Hudler did nothing, he had a great backcheck that took away a scoring chance. He kept the puck moving in the offensive zone, and he didn't shy away from contact. He had a solid game. I say keep the lineup as it is, but if you take anyone out it's Sammy. Yeah, he even played well today with his finishing checks, but he's still terrible at the point on the powerplay.

[Offsides 21]

I don't know why you'd think Franzen...unless because the Flames are obviously trying to kill him.

Huds is better than Sammy, and in this series Calder, but I'd still like to see Calder in. Lang won a lot of faceoffs today, and has done more in the series than Calder and Sammy, though I do think that Calder was unfairly demoted.

Huds is playing great with Flip, but I wish they'd get more ice time.

Sorry for my ignorance, but, today's game, was the first I've watched, since game 1. So, I just didn't see any use for him. But, if he's done good, as you say, then I'm sorry, and retract that statement.
