[News] Hudler named NHL 2nd star for March

[Mattman]

Wow not even 1st star! We are paying this guy 1st star dollars yet he can't even do something so easy. He should be gone before training camp.

[Enoch Root]

Who cares what number it was?

He was the top (and only) skater. He was deservingly honoured by the league.

All good

No. They're not allowed under the CBA.

Exactly and in a pivotal, vital month as well.
As well, I haven't verified, but wasn't he 6 pts ahead of next leading scorer for the month.
Robbed indeed.

People sure don't like goaltenders from rival Canadian teams on here.

"Price put up the best regular season as a goalie in 17 years, but he doesn't deserve the Hart because he's a goalie"

"Hammond was 10-1-1 this month and single handedly brought his team back into playoff contention while breaking a 77 year old NHL record, but Hudler was better because, Flames"

Order IMO should of been 1. Hammond 2. Dubnyk 3. Hudler. Hudler was fantastic, and I appreciate what he's been doing for us, this month especially (Yes I said "us", DWI) but he is part of the hottest line in hockey. I would put Dubnyk ahead of Hammond but he has stellar D-Men infront of him, and he brought Minny into the playoffs last month (He was 1st star in February. 10 goal, 17 point Ovechkin was 3rd, behind 2nd place Price)

Fun fact, last season Giroux was the leader for points in the month of March (21), and he got 3rd star, behind a 13 goal (5 game winners) Iginla and a 12 goal (Also 5 game winners) Nyqvist.
