Players that look redundant now will (hopefully) pay dividends in the playoffs when the inevitable injuries happen.

91.5 mph slap shot from Hughes. Results of working on one of your weaknesses in the offseason. Amazing. Hughes went soft shooter, who was timid to take a slapper, to a 91.5 mph slapshot. Amazing player who will continue to get better and better.

Quinn Hughes has a mean clapper now.

Is this not his final form??
He spent the summer improving it so he has another weapon. Says he wants to score 20 goals this season.

At this point, if he said he wanted to become 6 inches taller I wouldn’t put it past him to show up for training camp next season at 6’4.

I'm pretty sure Tocchet isn't telling guys to lose every puck battle in their zone... Score effects are also in effect, no so dissimilar to us in the TBL game.

Heinen has been totally fine too. Nothing past him defensively and somehow 0.5 PPG.

It's 5 games in where we've added 5 skaters and no one's on the same line as preseason or game 1.

That is precisely the kind of dedication that the absolute best players on earth have. He was already elite, and that wasn't good enough. What a f***ing gamer. ♥️
