thehamburglar Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Who cares. He scored, he's playing well and AV's the coach of Hodgson so he can do whatever he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicNuckleHead09 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 This is what I propose.... Sedin-Sedin-Carter/Perry/Parise/Selanne/Doan Booth-Kesler-Burrows Higgins-Hodgson-Hansen Reinprecht-Lapierre-Malhotra come playoff time. That is such a ridiculous lineup, its not even funny. Cuz Carter is defs coming here right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Light Racicot Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ah yes, why aren't you coach? AV isn't trying to ruin Hodgson's career. If he was trying to ruin Hodgson's career, he'd do what they did to Brule in Columbus - playing him way too much, way too early. You seem to think that more playing time = better development, but the complete opposite can happen. That is why people with experience are running the hockey team, not knee-jerk fans.

doraemonBlue Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just because Hodgson is producing consistently with limited minutes, increasing his playing time does not necessarily increase his point total. If anything, it'll tire him out and he might produce less cuz he's playing minutes he's not used to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshified Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think the coaching staff is developing COHO really well. I sure dont want him to play on the second line against the opposing team's best I sure dont want to play him on the first line agianst the oppsing team's best checkers. I think putting COHO on the 4th line can really help Lappy. And putting Manny on the third line can give him a confidence boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckschick1234 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Think of the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows. All developed by us. They all had less ice time than Cody averages now. And this is on a deep team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedgreen&blue Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm not seeing this slump you speak of. He was named rookie of the month for Jan... but yes seeing him play with better players would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigsaw99 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 AV is a moron for even attempting to cool down our hottest player. Hodgson has 1 point in 4 games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 He's earning his stripes.......he's got a lot of players ahead of him who have proven a lot more and paid their dues. Why do so many people want this kid to have everything handed to him on a silver platter? I'm sure Cody understands his role on this team........you should too.

Toni Zamboni Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 i think they wanna develop coho slow and steady like they did with kesler....and kes is a total beast now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODSRAGE Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I don't see how playing Raymond on the second line is any better than Cody on the RW of Kes. Raymond is a flash in the pan, would love to see him traded out of here. When Higgins is healthy, he's a 3rd liner that doesn't fit the 3rd line role. Trade him for some grit and heart.

FeStealth Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 They should be playing him more against "weaker" opponents and especially now while the games are pretty much meaningless (Canucks will be judged only on the post-season). No point riding the twins or Kesler and having them more susceptible to injuries. Better to have Hodgson get some more top-6 minutes and getting used to it than say during the playoffs and (knock on wood) Henrik or Kesler gets injured, thus he's forced into that position unexpectedly. For those saying, "OMG.... he might end up like Brule!".... Stamkos, Duchene, Seguin, Evander Kane, Patrick Kane, Hall, Kopitar, etc, all did fine in their rookie season playing on the top-6.

gaydar Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Agreed! Why waste your time posting such drivel. He gets the ice time his play and his status on the team warrants. Maybe if he learns to play better in his own end he'll get some extra minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
