Luke Hughes goes end-to-end for the late goal to tie things up!

[vtdevils2k]

I can't help it, I'm addicted to stupid takes.

Stop taking the bait. Obviously a great goal as others are saying.

Great goal...but some soft,lousy defending too

As it is with almost every great goal. Why not just appreciate a great Hockey play from a rookie d-man. What makes it more impressive is the fact it's to tie the game with the goalie pulled. Devils were flat the whole game and he carried them on his back to pull them back into it.

This is the main board big lou, i visit lots of threads, quit quoting me.

I hope things improve for you

 

[TrufleShufle]

Sorry big lou if you think this wasn’t anything more than an average goal. You’re more than welcome to go shake your pom poms on the devils board about it though.

You are trying way too hard now, everyone sees it, time to give it a rest.

Didn’t know Big Lou posts here…I hear his commercials every day on the radio driving to work

This needs its own thread? Kid will be a good player but it’s cute to see people lose their semen over a pretty good goal.

I dare anyone to find a brothers trio in any sport as good as the Hughes boys.

Can Hughes' brothers break Gretzky's brothers point record?

Wayne and Brent had total of 2,861 points. Can Jack, Quinn and Luke make a new record?

I thought this felt like deja vu and then I remembered this.



The Jackets just love making defenseman look like Moses.

 

[Wierzbowski426]

I think there is a stickied GDT at the top for average goals.

Hahahahaha.

So triggered.

What are you the thread police? You hosting the servers or something?

Just keep it moving then.

I've been noticing this more this season. Why are the defensemen letting players just carry the puck into the best scoring sector into the slot for a free shot on goal like this? Once upon a time, you actually had to get through the blue line. The defensemen are so far back that they're not really of any use. What happened?

Also, the defending is performed completely incorrectly, at too slow a speed, and too far back. They're supposed to be higher up, and skate backwards along with the forward, giving them more time to take the forward with the stick, or to take the body, etc. This kind of pylon-defending just gets you bypassed without you being able to do anything about it.

Perhaps players are only focusing on forward skating in their training and backward skating is neglected so players can no longer defend correctly? This is really sad.

Wayne and Brent weren't a trio of brothers.

The Gretzkys.

Not a trio.

Ole!!

Turn the volume down on your post, sheesh.

Not a trio.

They were barely a duo.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Jackets were too concerned about his character. That’s why they backed off.

 

[goonybird]

They thought he was going to pass it back to Jack and Luke was alert enough to strip them of their dignity. Immensely talented goal

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Those Hughes brothers can skate. Sounds crazy, but I think Luke is probably the fastest of the 3, he was absolutely flying there.

Look who showed up to denigrate a NJ player accomplishment. You are nothing if not predictable. Do you do this with malice or just to be funny?

I think in the old days, this is where Scott Stevens and other players would make you pay and that kind of hitting is out of the game opening up the middle of the ice like this.

Great goal

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I do like how when Connor McDavid does this against the Leafs, it's "the greatest goal of all-time" and when Luke Hughes (There are THREE Hugheses???) does it against the Blue Jackets, it's "not threadworthy"
