Samson's Flow Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 When he plays wing, is he on the right or left side? I could see him sticking as an RW, but that's about the only way I see him sticking. Oh look a right handed shot, one year removed from leading the team in points. What's that you say? The team has a weakness at RW in the top 6? If only we could find a #2 RW for next year. Barring any offseason moves, Hodgson will be the RW on the second line next year.

And that simultaneously excites and terrifies me.
LGR4GM Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 I agree with this. And that simultaneously excites and terrifies me. I think if you put Kane on the wing and Reinhart in the center, Cody might actually do okay. Not great mind you but okay.
Samson's Flow Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 I agree with this. And that simultaneously excites and terrifies me. I'm just excited. Where's Derrico's new avatar when you need it? ;)
Patty16 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 I think if you put Kane on the wing and Reinhart in the center, Cody might actually do okay. Not great mind you but okay. I'm not sure that's a great pair for your second line. Sam and Cody aren't great skaters so you will need some serious speed on the LW to make that work.

Patty16 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Kane has serious speed. Yea he does, but doesn't he go on 1st line?
dudacek Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Yea he does, but doesn't he go on 1st line? I thought we were discussing a Kane/Reinhart/Cody line?
K8prisoner Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 give him nine games w a real center, wing and and break out passes from veterans.... we may be surprised by the sharty hero of buffalo..
Samson's Flow Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I thought we were discussing a Kane/Reinhart/Cody line? With our current personnel, I see more of a 1a/1b line structure. Kane with Eichel and (? RW) as I feel that their speed will work well together and Kane can guard against cheap shots on the rookie. Moulson with Reinhart and Hodgson are two finishers to match with Reinhart's cerebral passing game. The speed issue is overblown IMO, and is more important to match complementary styles on each line. Maybe Ennis plays RW even though he is a lefty on the top line. That would be one fast line. Edited April 17, 2015 by Tchaikovsky по Boyes

Jsixspd Posted April 18, 2015 Report Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Final comparison of Hodgson's 2015 season to Leino's last as a Sabre. Hodgson - 78 games played 6 goals, - 13 points, +/- - 28, PPG 0, PPA, 0, TOI/G - 12:51, PROD - 77:05, Total time on ice - 1002 minutes Leino - 58 games played, 0 goals, 15 points, +/- -16, PPG 0, PPA 6, TOI/G - 14:26, PROD -55:49 - Total time on ice - 837 minutes. So Hodgson played 20 more games than Leino, logged 160 more minutes on the ice, and stll somehow produced 2 fewer points, and ZERO PPA, vs 6 for Leino, and a gawd awful productivity stat of 77:05, 21 minutes longer than even Leino.Leino's lack of productivity was legendary in 2014, but somehow this Hodgson guy outdid him. This guy deserves his "Must Go" topic more than Leino did. Edited April 18, 2015 by Jsixspd

But there is added mystique around Leino because he didn't manage to score a single goal in 58 games. That's frankly ridiculous. Edited April 18, 2015 by Thorny

That's frankly ridiculous. Yeah, that's the only stat where Hog-head exceeds Leino. But, looking at the entire picture, Hodgson is definitely Bottom Shelf for 2015.
Samson's Flow Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Now I know how LastPommerFan felt on his day. Anyone want to talk Hodgson v. Kassian for old times sake?
sabills Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Now I know how LastPommerFan felt on his day. Anyone want to talk Hodgson v. Kassian for old times sake? I still don't hate that trade. In a vacuum its not so great, but at the time we had no hope of a #1 center, and Corporal Hogshead gave us some shot at it.
Johnny DangerFace Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Well I can finally kill of hodgson. RIP
WildCard Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Well I can finally kill of hodgson. RIP Keeping that avatar or are you gonna have two new guys to replace them?
Johnny DangerFace Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Keeping that avatar or are you gonna have two new guys to replace them? I sadly like everyone on this team now....such a weird feeling
Doohicksie Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Oh just wait until they start playing. Someone will suck, trust me.

darksabre Posted October 15, 2017 Author Report Posted October 15, 2017 Bumping this thread in light of the news about Cody and the condition he was suffering from. It likely contributed to his inconsistent play here and he no longer deserves to have this thread archived without our acknowledging it. Sorry Cody.

I enjoyed many a laugh at the expense of Cody while he was in Buffalo and pardon the expression, rode him hard on occasion but he deserves a happy, healthy life as much as any of us so I too will acknowledge my ignorance to his situation. Had I known, my sentiment would have been different. Good luck Cody.
