While I don't see any road games, I am not sure why everyone is down on Hemming. The games I have seen he is hard working, wins a lot of battles and very sound defensively. Yes, we want him to put the puck in the net, but I'd rather him doing the things he's doing than put the puck in the net and be lazy elsewhere in the games (a la Oulasson). Also having him move all around the lineup can't be that easy for him. With all of the injuries, trades, and absences we've seen he hasn't had consistent linemates. He's also been put with non scoring players a lot of the time, expected to be a line driver.
They say if you're not getting chances...that's when you worry. Hemming gets a lot of chances and eventually he's going to figure out how to bury them on a consistent basis.
