Cody Hodgson Demoted to 4th Line with Sabres


Recommended Posts

I'll start off by saying that I still have confidence in Cody but even though the demotion is going to be temporary, I think it shook Cody up. If you watch this post-game interview he initially starts out with strong answers in a steady voice and all smiles, but at the end of the clip when the reporters get more aggressive in their questioning about what got him demoted he gets a different look on his face and his voice started to shake.

Different roles. Kassian was our leading scorer and doing very well with the twins. He got moved off because the twins were sucking. Then he ended up on the 4th line because no one else was scoring. Well, surprise, no one else is scoring still and now the twins are looking very mediocre most nights and Kassian likely would've STILL been having a good year and putting up points like he was when he was with them.

Our team just isn't scoring or getting points. People jizz over how great Raymond is playing but Raymond isn't even anywhere near tops of the scoring list. He's not even having a -great- year. He's just scoring more often than anyone else on our team so it's been like this amazing thing. Our team is so bad he looks amazing for doing little. He played better the other year.

Does CoHo put up 28 pts on this Canucks team? Not a chance. Everyone is trashing Kass because he has to fight for a spot in our lineup but guess what? CH left because he didn't feel like fighting for his. He went to the Sabres and was gift-wrapped a top-6 role. He would never beat out Hank and Kes and has turned out to be a defensive liability even for Buffalo. If AV had him now and barring injury, he'd also be in Chicago--just not for conditioning. This trade will never be undone. Move on.

They are doing it to give balance for all four lines. Hodgson gets to play against their weak fourth line and it has been working. Its not a demotion its a tactic

It has?

Last 5 games:

Goals: 0

Assists: 1

F/O Percentage: 45.6%

Been a minus player.

Don't see that it's "working" so great.

lol no. Cody Hodgson was not the reason that Lindy Ruff was fired. You're forgetting the fact that Ryan Miller is crapping the bed right now, and has been since probably the Lucic hit, or even so far back as the 2010 Olympic games. The Sabres have been playing shotty defence at best and coaching was not the reason...
