Since the beginning of February Hodgson has played 20 games and has 2 goals and 1 assist. He is pointless in his last 9 games. Something has to give.

I wasn't saying you read it. Just pointing out that I didn't.

Unfortunately, I have to get ready for work now. It's only 66 degrees out and I get to spend the rest of my day locked in a call center.

My sinuses have been a mess for about a week now. I'm pretty sure it's just the weather changing back and forth. Other than the fact that I can't breathe through my nose, I feel fine. Makes for some pretty miserable sleeping though.

It's svelte.

And it would be nice if you stopped bragging about it. Thanks.

Or Leino.... Who works his a$$ off every shift.... But the results are not there...

Thats because hes not talented. Hes good at shielding the puck...thats about it

Also he doesnt really work that hard. Ive never once noticed him backchecking or really hustling on the forecheck

He can control the puck well, but when it's time to make pass or take a shot, he's usually ineffective. Sounds like Matt Ellis. Matt Ellis with a bigger bank account.

you can't tell me that the 4th line has not been the most consistent line on this team over the past few games.. they go out there untalented and work their asses off to gain the zone control the puck and never get a shot of value for 45 seconds ever 8 min or so.

What about the wicked wrister he had against boston on rask. he can shoot fine, he just cant shoot when there is someone in front of him

If he was a little faster and could actually create separation from guys when hes shielding the puck then he would be much better. But hes just so slow that guys can keep up with him and he cant do anything.

Hopefully the Sabres can get him to do some extra power skating this summer and work on that...

by the way, i see that your discussion turned towards leino and not sekera.

i think Leino's shot is relatively bad because he uses such a short stick

if he left his wallet in his locker instead of insisting on keeping it in his pocket during games, he would be MUch faster

Perhaps. Even the great James Neal struggles in the 2nd half of seasons with similar like numbers. Either way Hogdson has to get it going statistically.
