He's on a Canadian team, and he's been overhyped to the point that Canucks fans couldn't possibly comprehend that he isn't a top 10 defenseman in the league. Toews is a top 10 defenseman.
I mean if you have an argument for Hughes I’d love to hear it rather than post pointless comments.
Toews is the best defensive defenseman on the team, Avs out score the other team 34-12 when he’s on the ice.
Everyone thinks slow, big defensive defenseman = good defense because they block lots of shots. No **** you’re blocking a lot of shots because they’re trapped in their own end all game. Best defense is playing in the other end, one pass and you’re out of the zone.
Definitely. Agile puck moving defencemen that can exit the zone, are the future of the game.
Weird. They’ve given up the 10th most goals per game in the entire NHL at 3.03 goals per game Just two spots ahead of the Oilers. Canucks are 21st in goals against per game with a dreadful D group outside of Hughes at 2.5 goals per game.
The team has given up the 10th most goals per game in the NHL. Obviously they could improve on that a lot.
It's because our goaltending has been bottom 3 in the league. Our defence is fantastic.
Offensively they are fantastic. Defensively outside of Toews they are average at best.
You keep saying that, but the numbers indicate the opposite.
