Hudler was waiting for the top guys to get injured, now he's going to steal the show and go on a forty game scoring streak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 He had a goal, an assist, and he gave me a fist bump going down the tunnel. Jiri Hudler Hat-trick Nah, Jiri Hudler hat-trick is a goal, an assist, and a cluck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 Nah, Jiri Hudler hat-trick is a goal, an assist, and a cluck. I thought that a Hudler hat trick was getting knocked down at the boards, a giveaway at the blueline, & a snarky comment from Babcock after the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, he's been on the PP all year. Last night was just the first time he finally produced on it. I don't know how you can say he hasn't been on the top 6, when he's constantly getting time on the PP with the top players. Do you want Babcock to make him the #1 center or something? 2 uk_redwing and ManLuv4Clears reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 It's funny, he had a goal and assist, yet I thought he looked worse overall this game then the last 3. Guess you never get the whole package from Jiri, he's still slow as molasses but if he starts contributing cant complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 Good production? He's still being out produced by goons and stay-at-home defensemen. I call a goal and an assist in one game good production. It works out to 82 goals and 82 assists over the course of a season, which is 164 points; that's a mark only Gretzky and Lemieux have hit. Yzerman's 155 is the next closest. As for ice time, I don't recall any point in his NHL career where Babcock has given Hudler top-six ice time for a stretch of more than five or six games in a row. Despite this, Hudler, aside from his first 28 games this season, was a very effective offensive forward. He has played well over the past few games and last game he scored two points. He may have just knocked that monkey off his back and if so, he could go on a tear that could be scarier in a good way than his first 28 games were in a bad way. He scored 1 goal and 5 assists in his first 28 games, which is pace for 3-15-18 in 82 games. He's gotten a goal and an assist in his past three (past one, actually, but the previous two he was playing as well or better) which is pace for 27-27-54 in 82. That's much more comparable to his last NHL season, and he's actually averaged less time per game over the past three than he did in 09-10. If the past week is any indication...Rex is back, and it's about damn time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to do a double take just to make sure you were, in fact, talking about Hudler. Seriously, why even play a season? Just play one game, extrapolate the the stats from that game and hand out the Cup. Genius! I hope Dats doesn't get a penalty in that game. I'm pretty sure that 164 PIMs will take him out of the Selke running. Edited December 28, 2010 by Broken 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 You've really stopped trying, lately, haven't you? Why waste the effort? Hudler will have to be top three in team scoring before any of the haters recognize him as a top-six capable forward. It's insane. People here still don't think he put up a top-six worthy offensive performance in 08-09 despite the fact that he tied for 70th in forward scoring, despite playing on the third and fourth lines all season.

Our expectations aren't that high. Something a little north of a goal every 20 games would be a good start. 1 Nev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
