Jack Hughes goes for the hit on ENG, gets worst of it

[The Crypto Guy]

Ya love to see it!

I'm siding with Hughes on this one.

Rasmussen hit Hughes pretty viciously. Obviously Hughes wasn't going to be in a great mood.

Celebrating a f***ing empty net goal like that right over a guy you hit like that is pathetic. Have some self respect. Hughes should've cross checked him in the face.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Emotions were running high on account of some questionable calls by the refs. Not sure what Jack was thinking there but he has tons of heart.

 

[Dotter]

All heart with no ass to back it up.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Jack Hughes has to retire from hockey now. Sorry, those are the rules.

 

[LarKing]

In all fairness, this may very well have been Hughes slowing up not trying to pull a Schiefele. It wouldn't have gone that way with the massive size difference. But good on him if that's what he was trying to avoid.

But also, what a hilarious play. The emote by Rasmussen had me dying

Jack Hughes’ villain origin story.

If hughes cross checked him in the face his season is likely over as he would get his ass caved in

Jack Hughes build would get his ass kicked by most posters on this board, let alone a 6'6 220lb giant in Rasmussen

He tried to stop the goal, got hit onto his ass, nd had to hold the embarassment as Rasmussem taunted him

Hughes needs to stick to getting apples and scoring goals.

He has zero physical presence so if he wants to hit go for other small hoibbitish players

 

[The Crypto Guy]

HockeyDB says that Rasmussen is at 220 and Jack Hughes at 175, not sure what the argument is here. You put those type of guys at a collision in any contact sport, the bigger guy is winning always lmao

Makes Jack look even more pathetic to try to blow up Rasmussen as he's looking away from him to tuck the puck into the net

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Good on hughes showing some fight

Yeah so pathetic trying to lay the body in a hockey game

Glad we are in agreement.

 

[tucker3434]

Come on, Hughes. You know who you are. Play the puck there.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Yeah it was, he said "we won".

Definitely was “Red Wings’re gonna win”.

 

[Michoulicious]

What was he doing there.

He must feel the shame.

 

[CarlSneep]

Jack Hughes has big “Orlando Bloom in Troy” energy

 

[Dubi Doo]

Kinda wild how the Red Wings always seem to have mediocre team stats, but still can string together some wins early on to make the WC race interesting at the end of the year. They seem to be getting creamed in shots every game, but still have a decent record. That's early season hockey for you.

 

[JKG33]

Hughes is such a twerpy frat bro, great little player but this is such a good look for him

Hughes is right, I'd pay to watch this anytime. Love to see it

 

[GAGLine]

Is a bruised ego considered upper body or lower body? How much time is Hughes expected to miss?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

It is nice that we got an actual example of a solid reverse hit a couple days after the OEL play

 

[JKG33]

Reminds me of the Gudas photo against the Leafs. Sheldon Keefe teams keep getting punked photographically

*physically

 

[895]

How are you guys not understanding that the rangers fan here is obviously trolling the devils fans with his pro Hughes comments?

Like it’s so obvious yet everyone is taking the bait. Sheesh.

 

[RedWingzz]

Rasmussen scored the ENG to seal the deal. Acting like he didn't feel Hughes bounce off of him at all, just shrugging it off completely, would have been sick. IMO it just looked lame that Rasmussen felt the need to rub it in Hughes' face. Why give a f***? You got them where it hurts, with the W.

Really not trying to stir up the Wings vs Sens rivalry, we can do that later on in the year but uhh...

Your captain is the absolute king of "rubbing it in the opponent's face"..I wonder if your thoughts are different when it's your captain doing it?

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Classic no win situation for Hughes, actually try to prevent the ENG he gets flattened and ya'll laugh at him for even trying but if he lazily skated back with zero effort you'd be calling him out for that too. He gets pissed off after getting leveled, you guy laugh at him for being so mad, but if he'd just skated away, he'd be a p***y that can't defend himself.
