JJFIVEOH Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yes. But if they are going to be good defensively then they need to hit at least 200 times a season. And I see that the good offensive players are often a little taller so I really wouldn't want anyone below 6'4'. Thus it is settled. We shall have 11 6'4', 30+ goal scoring forwards who are good defensively through their physicality. And Hodgson. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why limit yourself to 11? Might as well stock the press box too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I would love to have Hodgson as a 2nd line winger/spare center. This will show if TM is truly different than DR. For years, it was: I would love to have Roy as a 2nd line winger/spare center. Instead, he was always #1 (or 2A with Connolly as 2B.)

Claude_Verret Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 DR's next gig? RALEIGH, N.C. — Multiple sources close to the Carolina Hurricanes said Monday that team president and general manager Jim Rutherford plans to step away from some of his duties after the season. Rutherford, 65, has been the GM for 20 years and is part of the ownership group. His tenure dates to the team's days in Hartford, Conn., and he has seen the Canes make two trips to the Stanley Cup Finals and win it all in 2006. He has had conversations in the past saying he would be willing to give up day-to-day management for the good of the team, but he had no comment Monday about his decision and declined to get into specifics of the when and why. "I will make a decision at the end of the season," Rutherford said. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/canes-gm-to-step-down-after-season-ends/13507091/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should keep Ennis and not Hodgson, he's smaller but he's been showing hustle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah right. We should keep Ennis and not Hodgson, he's smaller but he's been showing hustle. It's an interesting question of which small guy you'd rather have in your top six. It'd take 4 special guys to contend for a cup with Ennis and Hodgson. At this point I agree with you that I'd rather have Ennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Cody Hodgson isn't small. He plays small, but he isn't small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 And Ennis is small but plays big so call it a wash on size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I don't understand how the Canadiens and Bruins play like a buncha punks crosschecking and getting into scrums after almost every whistle and it's just "big boy hockey?" Don't get me wrong, I like good physical hockey but it seems like every time the Sabres engage in scrums of any kind 3 out of 4 end with a Sabre in the box??

I was thinking the same thing, and then I realized it's because they can also connect on a pass and make plays. Like it or not, better players get away with more. Pretty damn good game, though.

It is a good game, that hit on Paille would have been a penalty on the Sabres also even though it was a clean hard check. Too bad both teams can't lose!

inkman Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 The announcer is almost as bad as the fans. Subban gets mugged, raped and molested in about a 5 second span, he shoves Boychuk gently to say "WTF dude?" And the announcer is asking why isn't there a penalty on Subban. Wow the mass holes are a whiny bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 The bias in this game is laughable. Marchand on top of Subban giving him the business and the announcer says he must be caught up in his equipment. A blatant spear to the crotch by Lucic and they mumble I under their breath. What a ###### joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 The broadcast is disgustingly biased. I don't think the reffing is though. They haven't called plenty on both sides. If this game is any indication, I think we're in for some good playoff hockey this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I hate both of these teams but if I had to choose I HATE THE CHOWDAHEADS most The broadcast is disgustingly biased. I don't think the reffing is though. They haven't called plenty on both sides. If this game is any indication, I think we're in for some good playoff hockey this year. They have let plenty go, just thought they made a couple cheap calls late when Bahston needed a goal to tie? Too bad Sabres are out but playoffs should be good, def. How does Marchand not get that friggin beak broken every night? It's scrapping the visor for hecks sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
