Well that is only because the Local Buffet is giving him free meals. That's gotta be worth a ton of $$'s right there.

How many full bad games does Hunwick get?
- PlatosRepucklic



Not sure but I'd guess he's been hanging in there due to the PK

I didn't notice Hunwick giving up many 2 on 1's but I noticed people calling him out on the 4 min high stick when he didn't even touch the guy with his stick.

Did you notice him giving the puck away in his own end almost constantly? Or otherwise being hemmed into his own end a vast majority of the time?

I can kinda squint hard enough and get behind the playing Polak because of the pk thing, but Hunwick has no place on the ice. The eye test, and the advanced stats show he is horrendous.

I like that there aren't a ton of Hunwick apologists on here. It's super annoying.

Reddit is the worst for it. While a good many people hate Hunlak as much as I do, there are so many people just waiting for "Where's your Polak hate NOW?!" after a strong PK or something

The worst

anybody else here think Hunwick has been playing exceptionally well as of late? It's like he's a whole new player. Great value.

No. He's been better, but he's still below replacement level.

Polak has *just* got his head above water though... for now.

Might be, especially with Shawn Thornton retired. Fortunately his job is playing hockey and not curing cancer.

Oh, I'm sure that there are dumber. Zach Kassian as one example.


Still, Jake likely isn't winning any nobel prizes any time soon...

You're so very welcome Ken.


As an aside, did Chuck's get re-opened/moved? I'm back in the Hammer tomorrow and would love to chow down on some of their meat

Maybe but hes probably been our best dman this year. Sadly Rielly has been nothing more than average. Probably due to playing match up.

Players seemed to think Corrado was in. Babcock wouldn't confirm it though, only to say Gardiner was in. Leivo and Gauthier confirmed.

I know Bozak is injured... who else sitting?
