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

[wingerdinger]

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.

Pavel is a USNTDP guy and Hughes is a golden boy to those in that circle. While Rasmussen is just another overrated Canadian oaf.

 

[Xirik]

yeah I don't get it. He was trying to stop the empty net goal and he didn't have any other options. Did it work out for him? no. It's a lot better then giving up though.

 

[Dirty Dog]

What’s more likely, that this is the high point of Rassmussen’s career? Or that this is the high point of Detroit’s season?


And honestly weird thread and comments. Dude made a high effort play to try and stop an ENG and took some punishment. And the other player thought scoring an ENG was an incredible flex

 

[JianYang]

I think probably what triggered Hughes is the way the Detroit player celebrated down to him after the goal.

But this is what happens when an artist tries to be a plumber.

Okay 11 seconds. Because a smaller player in recent memory was seriously hurt on a similar play. Of course Hughes is going to get some shit for it. The Stefan flub has happened what? Once in nhl history? It's possible but trying to blow someone up for an empty net goal is deserving of being taunted.

Hughes made a stupid play and is lucky he wasn't injured. You can skate hard and try to play a stick. It wasn't a lose lose situation like you said. Hughes chose the worst option and is now rightfully being mocked. I would expect the same if Rasmussen was on the other end of this.

I understand what you're saying and if this was Hamilton, Hischier or Meier throwing that hit I'd likely agree with you but I don't think Hughes is trying to blow him up he's trying to get the puck back as quickly as possible. Knocking him off the puck is quicker than a stick battle.

Also I have zero issue with people clowing him for getting rocked and taunted, I think the EA cover in this thread is hillarious. My issue is soley with the making fun of him for trying like he shouldn't have even bothered.

Hughes plays with a chip on his shoulder, but he puts himself in too many situations to break that shoulder.

lmfao at the Ras empty net stare down

 

[LemonSauceD]

Devs fans: “he was trying to stop the ENG”

Everyone else: “that kid really tried throwing a blindside hit on a 6’6 220lbs man trying to score an ENG and fell flat on his ass”

When Detroit wins the fan base be like...

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Hughes got clowned there and the follow up was embarrassing. Take the L, shake it off and move on.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Hughes is very skilled but he’s a little bitch and always will be

Got the better of Aho went they wrestled in the playoffs. Bad look for Aho

Whos over rating Rasmussen

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

What was his tantrum for? Splendid play by the Detroit player.

Also, Hamilton being typical Hamilton on the outskirts of a scrum.

Aho is also a bitch , no argument there

 

[stator]

Wtf was Hughes doing?

Wanted to make the highlight reel which he did.

The wings unfortunately when they drafted him 9th overall, instead of Martin Necas. Still haunts me to this day.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Back in the good old days of HF, we'd already have 10+ high quality gifs of Hughes bouncing off of Rasmussen and flying into the crowd.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Play to the whistle and all but expect a crowd to gather at the least and to be taunted if you fail

 

[Shocker]

Aho is also a bitch , no argument there

Eh, Aho isn't a bitch, he doesn't think himself some kind of gift to the mankind and the most excellent person ever, he's just a smol boi.

 

[Svechhammer]

You usually only get pics like this in the playoffs when tensions are running extreme

It's still October.

 

[BlueAzN]

Not sure what Jack is so pissed about. He had 59 minutes to make sure shit like this didn't happen. Clown moment for a class player.

 

[Jacob]

It doesn't really look like he's trying to light Rasmussen up, just beat him to the post.

there are hot takes.....there are scorching takes....but this.....this a take that goes straight off the Kelvin scale. Kudos to you sir.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Rasmussen is 6'6" and Hughes is 5'10"

This would be much more impressive the other way around. I don't know why Rasmussen is acting like King Kong out there lol.

Hughes did not sleep well tonight
