2023-24 James Norris Memorial Trophy finalists: Quinn Hughes, Roman Josi, Cale Makar | Winner: Quinn Hughes

[Love]

Jets fan with no dog in the fight. Can they take this man to Hollywood and have him teach actors how to make a speech after winning an award please. That was as good as it gets. Very humble, down to earth, respectful, very thorough, while brief. Pitch perfect.

Always find him (and the other two finalists) very entertaining to watch on the Ice but I just became a bigger fan of the person.

A lot of non Canucks fans were surprised when he was named captain over Pettersson or Miller. A speech like this is a good example of why he was chosen.

Three: you forgot Josi.

its true, when HF debates best D, its always Hughes vs Makar vs Fox, but Josi should be part of the debate too, the down side is he is likely WYSIWYG at this stage of his life. We can say the qualifier being a Norris to keep out the rifraff

Crazy how much hate Hughes got like 2 years ago. Even a year ago. Funny how so many self proclaimed experts were wrong.
