IILeiBlazeII 15 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 I'm in the camp that *hopes* Hudler can knock my socks off again like he did in 08 and 09. I don't *expect* it, but I *hope* for it. Good to hear he not only was training, but skating as well. Also good to know we have a deep line of people ready to steal his spot if he's a no-show again. 1 Motown4013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 So, by his own admission, conditioning is his problem? Interesting. Any word on the NHL changing the shape of the rink to an octagon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 He didn't take UFC training. He took basic physical training from a guy who happens to train UFC fighters. Big difference. The hyperbole does make for a good joke though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetts 236 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure if this has been posted on these forums before...but apparently somebody made a Jiri Hudler motivational song: I actually have a fair bit of hope for him this year though. I really do believe that he'll be back at pre-Russia form. Edited September 15, 2011 by Zetts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 Does this mean Big John McCarthy is going to unretire and become an NHL ref for our home games? Is Joe Rogan going to replace Mickey to call the games? And who is Hudler going to face in his debut? I'm predicting Hudler over Semin, arm bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
