under_par_00 45 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 Hudler has been really great recently. He has been much more noticeable in a lot of games, making plays. He has great control of the puck and can make sick saucer passes anywhere. That backhand feed to Cleary tonight was a thing of beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theophany 110 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 Hudler has been really great recently. He has been much more noticeable in a lot of games, making plays. He has great control of the puck and can make sick saucer passes anywhere. That backhand feed to Cleary tonight was a thing of beauty. So was the forechecking beauty he knocked off a defenseman's stick right to Dats in front of the net. If Dats elevated the puck even a bit, that's a phantom assist to Hudler (in that it likely wouldn't be counted on the stat sheet, but he caused the giveaway to Pavel).

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 Two out of the three games since his return, Pavel and Hudler have been a very effective combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 Two out of the three games since his return, Pavel and Hudler have been a very effective combination. The major question is, what happens when Filppula and Holmstrom back on the ice? Babcock's natural instinct would be to just send Jiri back to the third or fourth line where he's played his career under Babs. But the way Huds has been scoring and the way he's clicked with Dats, can you do that? Right now the top two lines are Franzen/Zetterberg/Bertuzzi and Cleary/Datsyuk/Hudler. Do you slap a line together of Holmstrom/Filppula/Eaves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 Right now the top two lines are Franzen/Zetterberg/Bertuzzi and Cleary/Datsyuk/Hudler. Do you slap a line together of Holmstrom/Filppula/Eaves? It looks kind of weird but it doesn't seem like too bad of a line at all. Eaves is a decent scorer with good shot, he and Flip both have wheels, Homer does his thing and goes to the net. Pretty standard setup, actually. Everything becomes even more complicated when Modano returns, but at that point it'll be impossible to avoid stacking centers on the same line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 hudler was pretty much useless for the first 35-40 games of the season but lately he's been really good. hopefully he keeps it up. with him playing really good with dats and cleary it makes it an easy decision for babcock to keep Z and dats apart.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 Since his break-out game against the Avs on Dec 27th: 21gp 5g 13a 18pts 0.86pts/g Looks like he's really turned the corner and is playing like we know he should but he'll have to continue doing so until the season's over.

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 I believe Mickey even mentioned something on the broadcast last night about the chemistry that Happy has been developing with Dats. I would really love to see Babs keep them together when Flip & Mikey are both back & healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HudlerFanatic 4 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 Huds was flippin' AWESOME last night! FINALLY Babs has put him on a line where he is going to produce! The chemistry is there. Even better, I saw that sick pass live! GO HUDS! Keep proving the haters wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 Let's be honest though. I mean Holmstrom's #'s increased being on a dominant line with Pav and Zetterberg. If Huds couldn't get things going with Pav then we would have no choice but to part with him. Glad to see that line clicking on all cylinders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
