HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Yep. Huds, Flip, and even Kopay are all going to have great seasons. It's going to be fun to watch thats for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CdnWingsFanEh 2 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I'm actually getting pretty excited for this season, now that Lang and Bert are gone. Not specifically b/c of anything against them, but I can't wait to see the younger kids getting more minutes, and hopefully getting to shine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henkka 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Nice article. Hopefully our youngsters will be as effective this season as Anaheim guys last season. They had the same effect year before, they were great, but lost in conf-finals. Year after, they were SC champions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Honestly, I can't Wait to see what Grigs does And If Babs plays Huds for more than 7 minutes a game with some PP time I expect 25 goals from him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I have to hand it to them; those kids have some of the greatest spirit i've seen this past decade. They take what they get and fly with it. I just hope it doesn't let up now that they're getting more minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Hudler will get 10 minutes or less this season. He'll get 15-20 goals. Babs wont give him top minutes. Franzen could get 20 if he plays on the top lines , Babs loves his work and his size. Filpula will be the best out of the 3 IMO. He's the most talented. Kronwall better step up this season and stop being a bum or were in trouble. I hope Quincey gets some playing time , he's got a chance at being a top defenceman in the future.

UInless you think Dallas Drake is going to put up huge numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Kronwall better step up this season and stop being a bum or were in trouble. Bum as in what? Not getting injured? If that's the case, then all right, but his play is far from being a bum. Hudler ready to break out? What will he do then? Why do you have such a high and extreme bias against Hudler?

UInless you think Dallas Drake is going to put up huge numbers. I have a feeling Babcock would play Franzen , Sammy , Cleary or Flip over Hudler because of there size, its the way Babs is.

ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I hope we get one of our larger young players to make the big team. Kindl, Ryno, Ericcson, hopefully that Magnuson kid is good enough to make our lower clubs and in a few years have him up to. It would just be nice to see some size and mean streaks. But I think Huds is really gonna be great, I under estimated him last year and kind of realized he played great for the time he had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I have a feeling Babcock would play Franzen , Sammy , Cleary or Flip over Hudler because of there size, its the way Babs is. No its the way he was when we had actual top 6 forwards like Lang and Bertuzzi to work with. We need a goal scorer and he may just be one of them. Babcock even said its up to Franzen and Hudler to battle for the top two left wing spots with Grigs being the wildcard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=336502 I like how he calls Franzen a rookie last year. Another glaring error in the article: The Flames lost that Final to Montreal, but as Badger Bob predicted, the three players he talked about – Gary Roberts, Joe Nieuwendyk and Brett Hull – helped the Flames win their only Stanley Cup in 1989 and all went on to glorious NHL careers.
