yeah hudler back to being s***ty tonight

He hasn't quite turned away from it at any point. Consistency I guess?????

[Aussie_Wing]

Hudler was pretty good tonight, set up a couple more chances.

People are just so set in their ways that they can't see it objectively. He was fine tonight, better than everyone on the 2nd line.

That's very arrogant. I think he sucked, and it's very smug of you to tell me that I can't see it objectively and you can.

Every one of the few chances that Hudler contributed to were largely made possible by the hard work of Cleary and Abdelkader. Hudler cruised around, gave up the puck, turned back on a breakaway, and occasionally found someone to pass to. He was hideous.

jiri 'tiny' hudler

It is so bad to think....

Williams was actually better to have.


[reflection period]

I'm not quite there yet. Then again I really hated Jason Williams.

[titanium2]

Poor Hudler. Both Abby and Eaves have more points than he does with less games and NO power play time.

EDIT: And less minutes.

I get the feeling that he thinks he shouldn't need to work hard.

Will it ever get so bad that the Wings scratch him long enough just so they can send him to GR for a two week conditioning stint? You know, perhaps show him how good he has it up here in the big leagues.

Arrogant? Get your hand off it. I call it as I see it, and to me people are going to bag everything Hudler does and fail to see the good stuff he does. Tonight he outperformed every second liner and although he had no points, I'm confident there's a scoring streak just around the corner.

Hudler is lazy and he sucks?

[maltbymaniac]

Hudler is lazy and he sucks!

fixed.

[South Dakota wings fan]

Not true, our top four, so far, is shaping up like:

Kindl/Lashoff
Fournier/Smith

Hmm....

My assumption is that there is a little sarcasm in those pairs, but I could be wrong. When referencing a bare d corps, my over riding point was that Kronwall, Stuart and Rafalski are all UFA after 2012. Plus the loss of Nick whenever that may be. I do believe Kronwall will be back at a minumum from that group, possibly Stuart as well. But there are some excellent prospects in the waiting as well.

I thought the team played great sans Hudler last night.

[russianswede919293]

I for sure was not missing him in yesterday's game...

[newfy]

I just dont get how he still gets in the line up at all, he should be traded immediately. He could probably get a third or second round pick which is fine with me

You're just so set in your ways that you can't see it objectively. He was careless, unproductive and lazy that night, regardless of how anyone else did.

Nor I. Draper isn't a producer, but he can be relied upon to be responsible and to not mess up (the fact that he also works hard on every shift goes without saying). The same absolutely cannot be said about Hudler. Given that Hudler isn't producing at all, Draper is far his superior at the moment. I respect Babcock's attempts to get Hudler going, but those can't last forever; when Hudler isn't producing, he's nothing but a liability on the ice.

At this stage, I'm convinced that Hudler's struggles stem from lack of work ethic.

[Hockeytown0001]

I'm wondering if Hudler could be the scratch against the Kings.

[Casey]

Hope so. They play so much better with him off the ice, which seems weird to say after how well he played in 08-09.

[VM1138]

Hudler's situation is beyond explanation. I don't know how this could be happening with him. He was doing so well, and his last season with us really looked like he was going to take off. Now, instead of a scoring threat he shouldn't even be in the NHL...
