Smashian Kassian Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Such simplistic thinking. Yes, of course you have to outscore your opponents. But in trying to do that you have to outhit, out-defend, and out-will your opponents, or your not going to achieve it. How many times does the Canucks Vs Bruins have to be brought up? We were the more skilled team with lots of depth scoring. But when it came down to it, we were out-muscled, intimidated, and completely shutdown offensively. You can have an entire team full of Hodgson's and Sedins, but if you don't have players with grit and muscle, you're not going anywhere. That's pretty straight forward. Our balance of skill vs toughness was off and still is if we want to actually be a contender. Kassian has 8 and Hodgson has 21. Who cares? For a player who is the skilled player and is meant to put up more points, it's not that surprising. One is playing on a third line, the other is playing on a first line. And as much as some people can't get it through their heads, being a year younger does make a difference. Kassian is on pace to put up 30 points and 19 goals in a full season. Hodgson had 41 points and 19 goals at his age. Not really much of a gap for the more skilled player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretzky's Mullet Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Beauty goal. And who cares if Cody asked for a trade (more likely his agent or father). He has no rights. Tell him to suck it up and he'll get his chance. By capitulating to the demands of a kid Gillis showed how weak he is. I've got a solution for you if you don't like listening to his agent: when the phone rings, hit "ignore". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbanks Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 How in the world did he beat a defender wide when he was moving so slowly? Don't get me wrong that was a sick goal but what were the canes doing out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbanks Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 the worst part of the whole trade was sultzer... he was porbably nashvilles best defensive Dman vs canucks in the playoffs the year befor we got him .. then we got him and he played great when he got the chance , but we didnt play him much , and then tossed him away as spare parts in that trade . He is the only guy on buffalo out of their D that knows how to play D hes like another tanev that hits a little more. either way thats was a fantastic goal by Hodgson.

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 At least the Grabner threads ended. There was a time where I needed a mop and bucket next to my computer to clean up after all of the projectile vomiting I did due to the sheer volume of Grabner threads.
