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

[Xirik]

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”

Vs

Quinn Hughes running to the corner to hide and getting his lunch money taken




I can understand why you like Quinn now.

Sit the f*** down, Hughes

 

[Wierzbowski426]

Not sure what's funnier, this play or the rangers fan who probably wet himself rushing to his keyboard to post it.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Sit the f*** down, Hughes

Yeah, next time he should just let him score without trying to do anything!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Might as well have if this was the attempt.

That might be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen in hockey from Hughes perspective. From Hughes bouncing off Rasmussen like a toddler, to the puck still going in, to Rasmussen roaring over him while he’s down on the ice on all fours, to him getting up and chirping at Rasmussen like an angry chihuahua . Absolute gold lmao.

Edit: just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, all the salty comments from Devils fans throughout the thread are icing on the cake. Amazing

He got doubled team and still made a play to his man. What?

Yeah I’ll take the Norris and captain dman.

This is the plot of Youngblood. Deaner, I mean Jack will get his revenge:

 

[swiftwin]

That’s actually embarrassing. Ignore the fact that he tried to Mark Scheifele “take a run at someone trying to score an empty net”, did he really think he could level a 6’6 220lbs guy.

Thank god Quinn doesn’t have the same delusional attitude.

What's embarassing is that the league even suspended Scheifele for a legal play. The league punished the result, not the play. Otherwise, they should also suspend Hughes.

 

[Realgud]

Wanted to make the highlight reel which he did.

might want to put a sarcasm emoji in your post so people don't think your serious.

I don’t think that’s the issue, it’s him throwing a fit afterwards

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Let's not debate Quinn vs. Jack in this thread.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Rasmussen been in the league for 8 years and this is the first worthwhile thing he's done

A lot of Wings fans would agree with you, including me.

Still not sure why Hughes didn't try to go for the puck or stick instead of trying to knock down the 6'6" guy who was dunking it in the empty net.

Great image for next years countdown to opening night thread.

Oh wow Jack Hughes got knocked over and complained. My life is so much better now.

That is so embarrassing that guy clipped that video

the video of him making a play

vs frodo trying to act tough on an empty net goal, then talking after a ref has him protected.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

This was a clear case of sometimes it's better to just skate away after getting schooled. The play itself and emote were cool as is. The reaction from Hughes added the all-important comedic element.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Not sure what Hughes is upset about Rasmussen didn't do anything. Hughes needs to smarten up and just get up and skate away or don't try hitting somebody twice your size.

 

[dirtydanglez]

dumb move and dumb response after. hughes is lucky he didn't get injured protecting an empty net in a lost game in october.

 

[Beniersgeron]

I like Jack Hughes even more for this, he is a skill guy that dont need to do that, but he play with some grit and dont back down, I love it.

 

[elmaco]

Yeah, next time he should just let him score without trying to do anything!

Maybe go for a pokecheck then?

This is an S-Tier post

because if he pokecheked he would have pushed Rasmussen stick and puck towards the goal line.
