Had to work and so I didn't get to watch the game.

So Hudler is on a line with Zetterberg and Cleary?

Doesn't look like it as Hudler only played almost 11 minutes.

He started the game with Abby and Miller. Had an assist on Z's powerplay goal. I believe midway through the 2nd (or around that time) he and Bert switched places. He was great tonight not only on the stat sheet, but he was working very hard, backchecking, creating turnovers, getting pucks out of the zone at key times, etc. Very very solid game for Jiri tonight.

Long live the Zetterberg - Hudler connection!

Dear Babs, you've found gold... STOP MESSING WITH IT...

Cleary and Hudler work very well together and both need to be with a top line center to be most effective, so its pretty simple, keep them together and with Pav or Hank, and they will both produce... I also like Bert with Franzen, and Fil and Modano seem to have found some good chemistry as well, so... there's that...

Modano looks great on Fil's wing as long as he stops taking wristers from the blue line. That is the perfect 3rd line behind Dats/Franzen/Bert and Huds/Z/Cleary

I disagree with the Flip and Mo line. Modano can give Flip the puck right on the tape when he is covered but Flip cannot give Mo the puck when he is covered. Usually Flips passes to him are in his skates and something I noticed (well IMO at least) is that Mo has a hard time while is in stride going skate to stick. Personally I would put Mo on a line with Z or Mule since they are more of a sniper which Mo can be the setup man. Mo has made some good "veteran plays" in the last few games that needed someone with a better finishing touch to work.

His speed isnt a big problem anymore, he has great vision, and actually a laser beam of a slapper. He might be lazy and sucks, but I'm not Hudler hater anymore

A freakin' snipe Happy! Hank's passes just make players shoot harder don't they? (jk eva)

-4 against St. Louis.

-4 against St. Louis.

So that's why he gets bumped to the 4th line for periods of time eh?

-4 against St. Louis.

Brutal game for that line tonight. Really didn't even have any decent scoring chances 5v5, and hideous defensively. Hopefully it pisses them off and they all score hatties next game.

[Hockeytown0001]

I approve of his play so far in the postseason.

[HankthaTank]

Can't really go ape s*** about his play but as with most of the guys from the 1st round, I can't complain either.

anyone else think hudler looked the best hes looked this year last night?

i thought he looked good. hesitated on a shot later in the game where he should have shot it, but other than that

No. He'd create space for himself and then be completely indecisive. He needs to be decisive and shoot the freakin' puck.

[kook_10]

He was strong on the backcheck and played the body aggressively too, though.

He is way too small to be that slow. How, in the name of God, could that ever happen to anyone. Please, although it would be so easy that it would be tempting, please, nobody make a highlight video of all the times guys have blown right by Hudler and scored a goal.
