Rivalred 630 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) The organization is not going to give up on him so easily. He will get at least as much time/chances as Leino did and if not , well... Hudler is trade bait for Jack Johnson Trade him Trade him Trade him Edited November 18, 2010 by Rivalred 2 Zeowingsfan and The Secret reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truebladearmy 33 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 Where is he gonna fit? the third line is rolling now, abdelkader is a beast, hudler is not a 4th line type player and they need both miller and eaves (helm is always in) on the PK for it to work and not fail like it did against vancouver...Right now i would have loved to use his 2.875M and put on a more gritty player, i liked the thread about clarkson, would be a much more bang for the buck in this case... now they are stuck with hudler and nowhere to put him... maybe cleary can be taken out but then again he's been hot as of late... Hot as of late is an understatement. At the rate he's going They're going to have him on the top line again soon. No way he would ever sit a game for the Hudler we have this year.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 Annnd the Eva thread is back. I guess we'll see who he baits into pointless arguments now. I didn't start this topic, and the only post I put into it before this one was a response with regards to the fact that I "had been silent" because I couldn't post from my work computer, and I also included my opinion that Hudler and Filppula is a good combination for both players and would result in further production (check the scoresheets, please) but man, I'm clearly doing nothing but tossing out lures for pointless arguments. I'm the one who wanted to argue about Hudler, just because I've been the most "famous" Hudler supporter on LGW and have gotten all kinds of s*** for preferring Hudler to, say, Downey.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 Hudler is going nowhere, and rightfully so. He'll hit form soon, I bet he still ends up with 40+ points this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 Hudler is going nowhere, and rightfully so. He'll hit form soon, I bet he still ends up with 40+ points this season. Babs really shouldn't have made that 70 points comment. Then again, I guess we should expect that kind of outlandish media statement by him. Many people including myself set the bar seemingly low. We estimated that he would be around 50-55 and got a bunch of s*** because we "didn't give Hudler enough credit". At the same time, we desperately wanted him to prove us wrong in a great way for the Wings. Unfortunately, well, we all know how he's played so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to remember that Hudler has been getting about a minute less ice time than he did in 2007-08, when he scored 42 points. He's been playing well and his offensive presence has been noticeable; it's just a matter of time until the goals start coming in. Also; Hudler has received a lot of slack for a lack of offensive production this season. To note: Hudler has not gone more than three games without a point this year.

Playing well my butt, he has looked at times like he is not interested in playing. Losing battles along the boards because he is weak and beaten to pucks because he is slow.

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 Playing well my butt, he has looked at times like he is not interested in playing. Losing battles along the boards because he is weak and beaten to pucks because he is slow. He is weak, and he is slow. But when he is determined to play well and has two linemates with him that can get him the puck, he is a very good playmaker. He cannot carry a line by himself, and sometimes this season it seems as though he hasn't been working hard. 1 EuroWing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losing battles along the boards because he is weak and beaten to pucks because he is slow. Quite a broken record isn't it? Bla bla bla Hudler should be the second line center bla bla bla. Bla bla bla Hudler is the reason why any PP goal happens when he's on the ice bla bla bla. It's not all bad I guess. Stupid users do lead to more hits and traffic on LGW, which hopefully means more ad revenue for Matt to keep the site going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No kidding. I haven't looked who has the overall most posts here, but it's been like the Jack of years gone by, spamming threads to get his post count up. I don't mind the occasional bad joke, but I know you can talk hockey Jack. I've seen it in the past. As for Hudler, he appears to be coming around a bit, I'm still just surprised at how bad he looks this season compared to when he left. Something tells me hockey was not his number one priority in the KHL (insert hooker joke here) because he's never been particularly fast or strong on the puck, but he could still be effective with his craftiness. This season, not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any way you slice it, spam is just, well, spam... I think Eva is right here though, I think it's just a matter of time before Hudler starts to produce as he has in the past. Huds may not be strong in the corners but he has the quickest pivot along the boards this side of Datsyuk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huds may not be strong in the corners but he has the quickest pivot along the boards this side of Datsyuk. I hope he does start producing. The problem is that in order for him to have that opportunity, he must continue to occupy a roster spot that would otherwise go to Miller or Eaves.

Guest Crymson Report post Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Hudler has thus far in this game shown yet again why he deserves no time on the power play. His ES play has been horrible, too. Minnesota has simply bodied him off the puck whenever he has tried to hold onto it, and he's not fast enough to evade them.
