Post-Game Talk: GM11 | Canucks defeat Ducks | 5-1 (Boeser, Sherwood, Pettersson, DeBrusk, & Heinen) | QUINN HUGHES IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
- Thread starter Vector
- Start date
Power play is missing the 5th complimentary player, imo Hronek is the 5th best PP option and works well with Hughes walking the blue line crisscrossing and has a good shot. DeBrusk & Garland isn’t working, maybe give Hoglander a shot (he’s kind of a DeBrusk/Garland Hybrid version, might work better).
Can you imagine the hypothetical haul Sherwood would garner if we were to trade him? Not that we would, but we could Tanner Jeannot someone if he plays like this all season

He's got a more complete game now, but he looks way faster now too. Not sure what you attribute that to.
Where the Oilers were averaging 5 goals a game. Quinn Hughes > Paul Coffey

Once this team gets Joshua back.
If Demko comes back healthy.
They acquire a legit Top 4 dman.
Cancel Jesus in December because Christmas is moving to June.

Lekk is the obvious choice. Natural shooter on the left side. Do it!!!
Boeser has become a complete winger, winning puck battles in all 3 zones, great positional awareness, seems faster than before, really rounded out his game nicely.
I don't know about that. The flash was there and the 29 goals were glorious but I don't think you can reproduce that with a tighter system and a better team whom other teams gameplan against.
He reads the game better and gets to his spots faster. It started in the bubble season where he was the best player and playmaker on the team.

They’re giving the goal back to Quinn Hughes again
(I’m kidding, I think)

I just love how he’s always ready to shoot now, this team needs more of that
I’d remove Petey before Garland at this point if Petey can’t shoot.
Woohoo
Nice win I have to behave now go boys LA next

I think Quinn is the best player we have since Bure

Man the Preds really shot themselves in the foot by letting Sherwood go and signing a fading one trick pony like Stamkos and an aging Marchessault. Sherwood has the same number of points as March (7) and two more than Stamkos at a fraction of either of their cap hits.

My mum is one of the sweetest ladies you meet, wouldn't hurt a fly, but at the end of the period I was like "Man, every team needs a shit disturber or two" and she seemed to agree. Great piece of pro scout work by QH.

Yeah I’m shocked they let him go, if anything GM’s usually hang onto guys like Sherwood for too long

Quinn Hughes "I am just lucky to have other hockey players on my hockey team. I am glad that other hockey player got a goal. Yay hockey".
Love his skill but dayum is he ever a boring interview...

Yep, I feel bad for the Sedins but they are so anomalous I make them their own category. But Bure and Quinn are more dynamic and talented players. I think Quinn will end up being considered better than Bure because it wasn't that Bure was selfish, it's just that he could break a game himself and Quinn uses the entire team as a single unit of artillery.
I thought you said they were "shit f***ing ass"?

He had a really nice play keeping the puck in the O-zone at the blue line on a back-check as well. Darted to the line ready for the back -check and showed great hands keeping the puck in the offensive zone to keep the play alive. Tocch is going to love that shit. Plays like that are going to keep in on the ice vs the pressbox.
Hughes is a generational talent. Consistently dominant every game. Boeser has taken another step as well, such a good 2-way player now to go along with his goal scoring ability.
Still think they should shut down Pettersson and Miller until they’re back to full health especially with the butter soft schedule.

This game was all about the best defenceman this franchise has ever had by a country mile...congrats Quinnn Hughes on 300... 3rd fastest ever.
was it just me or did his speech have a hint of farewell Vancouver?? Maybe not but a weird past tense appreciation.....Anyway absolutely dominant
Lankinen solid again
Boeser Sherwood were dominant up front. Good games from Heinen Hoglander Miller Debrusk and Pettersson
Garland drove me crazy tonight. Back to over handling and not using his line mates. Decent at entries but he's not a shot threat on the PP and over handles there too. Getting him back to running his own line with Joshua cant come at a better time
Hronek good in spurts but wasn't overly fond of his decision making. Myers was much better tonight but Soucy wow is he struggling. Brannstrom was good and nice set up for Sherwood on a beauty transition goal
I'm not sure why Tocc wont give Pettersson Hoglander to play with
Ducks are brutal. Zegras 3C No #PP1 and jumping to avoid contact?? How awful is your effort level when you cant even earn that on a team starving for offence. Him and Gautheir deserve to lose. Entitled punks
