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

[Arthur Morgan]

who's ENG?

 

[elmaco]

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

Imo there was no way to prevent that goal.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

When Mickey said, 'we have a lot of conversation going on." Is that really cringe for you?

Nah, I heard "we're" and he said "they're", maybe I should update my post.

 

[Fatass]

Hughes is fortunate he didn’t re-injure a shoulder. Not a smart play.

 

[Neil Racki]

Good on Jack to show hustle, show his team he's willing to run into a brick wall if that what the situation calls for

Good on Rasmussen to tuck it in, lay dude out and then enjoy the moment.

Thats the way hockey goes sometimes

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Rasmussen is 6'6 and weighs 212 lbs while Hughes is 5'11 and 176 lbs, not surprised at all.

Lmao at Hughes getting mad when he was the one going for the hit.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

My guy, Rasmussen is like 6'6, 220lbs and you're 5'10, 180lbs. Just wasn't meant to be, unless you're a bit heavy and compact like Neil, Domi, Oshie, Nichol, Upshall, etc.

 

[Smash]

Hit is over exaggerating it. Hughes was trying to make a play on the puck. He let up and didn’t try to make any type of real check on Rasmussen once the puck was gone. Their contact was pretty minimal, and Hughes was playing to the whistle to make a play on the puck.

Rasmussen shouldn’t have taken any offense to what Hughes did. That type of contact a smidge after the puck is gone is routine when guys are going 100MPH. No harm no foul. Players don’t take serious offense to that. Next play. Back to the bench.

That Rasmussen tried to make something that was absolutely of no significance into a moment to show up his opponent was poor sportsmanship and at that point I think Hughes has the right to actually go at Rasmussen in a way he didn’t previously.

Oh wow I thought you were being sarcastic at first, but you’re just not very bright.

 

[Oddbob]

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.

If this isn't sarcasm, YIKES! Ras was going for the EN and got hit by Hughes, who got demolished because he is way smaller. Ras wasn't going for a hit, he was going for a goal.

Ok, and would it have been so difficult to pretend like Hughes’ hit hurt? Really lacking in sportsmanship.

True! He could have said, OWWWEE! Good one little fella!

 

[ShakenNotStirred]

This kind of big D energy will be required if the wings squeak into the playoffs, something they have been lacking for a while.

Mo going 3v1 is encouraging too.

Like this???

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I feel like all of a sudden everyone is using the word “emote” why is that

 

[cc]

I respect Hughes for even trying here against a much larger opponent.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

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

Why is the 175 guy trying to bowl over the 220 guy in that case ?

 

[Xirik]

Why is the 175 guy trying to bowl over the 220 guy in that case ?

Because players in all sports are suppose to give everything they got to give their team the win?

Are you new to sports?

Could you please remind me in what kind of parralel universe you saw Rasmussen initiate that hit?

Wasn't the puck already in the net ?

 

[Chairman Maouth]

I don't see this as any big deal. It's not even a big hit either way. I suppose Rasumussen came out on top, but meh.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I like jack hughes, but man is he a baby

 

[Circus86]

The point is that Hughes started crying like a baby after the hit.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Can’t blame Hughes for trying to hit a much bigger guy and bouncing off, but man the Devils are so soft. Their best player gets knocked down and taunted, nobody does anything about it.

A lot of skill and speed on that team but not enough sandpaper.

 

[TheOrganist]

Hughes and Connor Bedard literally look like women.
