Cody Hodgson first NHL game tomorrow

[ComeAtMeBro*]

That goal wasnt that great, not even an 8/10 (srs)

So... does it not count as a goal?

Playing on the 4th line with Glass and Volpatti/Tambellini too

instead of getting spoon-fed first line ice time... (few games because that experiment failed)

CoHo is obviously a 40 goal scorer (zeke)

 

[SDig14]

He scored his first goal and immediately there was a Hall vs. Hodgson poll

They don't even play remotely similar games at all. However, it was a fan of neither the Canucks nor the Oilers I believe so at least there wasn't as much beef as their would have been.

Anyways, I have always like him a lot and it was a shame he got hurt to start his career, but I think he will bounce back and be a very good NHLer if he can stay healthy.

I forgot about Avs fans for some reason having something against Hodgson. Concentrate on actually winning a game outright against the Canucks first.

Don't let anything get in the way of a good persecution complex.

Okay, and before I get flamed, I'll tell you the (superseceret) reason we make fun of Hodgson. (or was it Godson???? Not sure anymore)

The same reason many people dislike the Habs, almost everybody on here dislikes the leafs, the reason everybody and their mother hates the yankees, (unless they love Yankees, of course) and the reason the Cowboys are probably the most hated team in America.

Because frankly, all larger fanbases like to blow the lid off of everything. For example, there has probably been more talk about PK subban than any other defenseman in the league this year. Not because PK is a superstar, or a Norris candidate. Because he plays in front of a huge ass fanbase.

So please, continue talking up your players, and we'll keep making fun of them. Just the way it goes.

go ahead, do you think we give a ****?

btw i love your guys is hodgson thread lol

 

[Ainec]

Avs fans talk about Hodgson more then the game itself on a VAN-COL gdt

that pretty much speaks of a board ritual and a coming tradition, and in that sense it's totally fine for them to continue to do so

some people do. Just throwing this out there, because it's the truth.

In our defense, It was not started by a Canucks fan and that is a ridiculous thread.

Funny thing is, right now, Hodgson isn't the top rookie on the team right now. That honour would have to go to Cory Schneider or Chris Tanev.

Chris Tanev has been freakin' stellar in his first 7 games.

 

[AntonRodin*]

Hodgson is almost as good as Kadri!!!

 

[R S]

As an Avs fan I have really stayed out of the whole "make fun of Hodgson" stuff. It's really over the top and got old pretty fast. But, if other guys want to keep it up for the hell of it, they can go hard.

Back on topic, congrats to Hodgson.

Eberle's First



Eberle>Hodgson
(or is it?)

I don't think you'll find any Canucks fan argue that Hodgson is better than Eberle statistically. He's not.

Similar goals though, interesting.

 

[GCM]

I haven't cheered so hard for a goal since Crosby scored the Gold Medal winner.

That felt great.

 

[The Angry Teatowel]

Will Hodgson be handed the Calder trophy now or will they wait until the end of the season?

 

[JL17]

Congrats Cody on your first or many!!!

2 games 1 goal.... Can't say who has 0 in 17 games.

Cody looks good out there doesn't look lost!!!

 

[biturbo19]

man his arms look tiny. like, length tiny. like a couple of twigs stuck in a snowman.




but damn if i didn't jump up and clap in excitement when he scored that beauty.

 

[Tuggy]

I'm sure this has been asked and answered somewhere but I can't find it, but why is he wearing the cage? Injury?

 

[Jevo]

He is just coming back from a broken orbital bone, so he's wearing the cage to prevent it from happening again until the bone is fully healed and there is no chance of a new fracture in the same place.

On what planet?

 

[Bleach Clean]

Congrats Cody. You've had to go through hell to get to the bigs, so it is deserving. Well done.


That aside, Cody who? I want to see the same Canuck hype-machine go to work for the rising soon-to-be-blue-chipper Chris Tanev! Wow. Absolutely robotic in how he plays. Near flawless execution. And when he does make a mistake, his speed and hockey IQ mitigate the impact.


I'm surprised Canuck fans aren't falling over themselves to try and pimp this prospect on all boards. Very excited by his upside. Oh yeah, go Cody!

 

[Canuck09]

On what planet?

I was wondering the same thing.

Apparently Matt Duchene sent him a congratulatory tweet.

They are going to see a lot of each other in the coming years.
