Huberdeau: -2, 1SH, 1Hit, 4GVA, 4:31PP TOI
Points and goals aside, your elite forward cannot be that out of sorts at this point of the season. I'm not sure where you go from here because you've already tried other line combos, that haven't really worked either. Chalk it up as a brutal game and move on, but I'm not seeing a lot of signs that he's going to flip the switch suddenly in the next 10 games and start dominating. If he doesn't bounce back with a big effort next game it will say a lot.

Yeah Huberd'oh seems to be telegraphing his passes.. or his opponents know exactly what he's doing right now. It's kind of insane how the 'best passer in the league' is getting picked off so much. As Gulutzan once said.. 'sometimes you gotta punt'. Hate to say it but those words are pretty true with this guy. He's forcing things
