Why does Hughes even shoot on the PP

That was going into the pad with no screen even without the block
 
Hughes is only 2 points behind Makar. Hughes gets a lot of assists because he is a zone exit machine. Zone exits are less flashy, but probly just as valuable as what Makar does.

Makar actually puts effort and intensity that show in ALL aspects of the game

Hey! Brock Boeser was near the puck. His game is really turning around. Getting points and is sometimes near the play!

It’s crazy to think Hughes vs Makar was a legitimate debate.
At the time of the debate both players were putting up numbers as rookies not seen since Brian Leetch entered the league. And I think in the end most people has Hughes ranked behind Makar. The separation has just gotten bigger.

The separation between Hughes Makar is mostly the team they play on.

Makar does have the bigger frame that allows him to engage at times physically that Hughes can't.

But offensively Hughes is right there, better playmaker, Makar with the better shot.

Hughes is the best offensive defenseman this franchise has ever had.
 
Considering who theynare playing, this has been one the best games this team has played so far. They were taking over in that period, then sustained fart to the penalty box.
