Official Calder Thread 2019-2020

[WetcoastOrca]

Hughes is great, but I still think Makar wins this and hearing anyone who actually has a vote talk about it seems to agree. This isn't strictly a points race.

Lol!

 

[mriswith]

Hughes just dominated the Bruins all night. Dummied them on repeat

Controlling the play? Hughes.
Importance to the team? Hughes.
Points? Hughes
Ice Time? Hughes

Playing undersized in a physical league? Hughes.

Hughes is 4 points up on Makar with 7 more games played.

Makar’s PPG for the season would give him 6 points in those 7 games, had he played them.

So if we assume equal games played, Makar would have a two point lead.

We’re getting close to the point where the games played isn’t going to offset the difference in points.

This race is extremely hot right now.

If you think Quinn Hughes is only about points .. then you need to actually watch the games. The guy controls the game in every facet

 

[dealwithit]

Man what a performance by Hughes. Whether he wins the Calder or not, I'm so hyped to have this guy on our team

Exactly.

Im just not sure how the calder isnt only about point comment fits in. I mean the calder is massively about points.

I could see someone not getting if their play defensively was so bad they were bleeding goals but still putting up points. But thats not Hughes by any stretch. Even if you nitpick his defensive mistakes.

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

Remember when Hughes wasn't even in the same tier as Makar?

If injuries takes into account, the Boeser would have had a say in Calder 2 years ago on a near 40 goal pace.

So the Canucks 'could' be going for their 3rd Calder in a row....

 

[Canucks LB]

Quinn hughes is a special talent, my god

 

[LOFIN]

The only reason Hughes would win is because he's playing for a Canadian team. That's a fact.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

The only reason Hughes would win is because he's playing for a Canadian team. That's a fact.

Or because he’s really good at playing ice hockey.

 

[Zanon]

The only reason Hughes would win is because he's playing for a Canadian team. That's a fact.

Lol k

 

[Phrazer]

The only reason Hughes would win is because he's playing for a Canadian team. That's a fact.

And well..... Leading all rookies in scoring as a defenseman. Would be a 2nd reason.

 

[Canucks LB]

 

[Hammman]

The only reason Hughes would win is because he's playing for a Canadian team. That's a fact.

What a dumb take. Kid is about to be the first rookie d-man to hit 50 points in 27 years (followed closely by Makar) and you can't give him an ounce of credit?

 

[kes17]

Made the first placed team look like they were wearing rollerblades tonight.

 

[nowhereman]

Hughes is turning this Calder discussion into a Norris discussion. Can he grab a finalist spot?

 

[LOFIN]

I didn't say that did I? For me, they are both future Norris winners.

 

[Breakers]

Im telling you these last few games hughes has been controlling the game. and it's not even debatable.

He's played TOI 34:58 5v5
in that span
HD Scoring chances for = 16
HD scoring chances against = 1

16 TO 1 dangerous scoring chance differential in that span of ice time 5v5 is ridiculous.
like that is absurd.
duhhhhh He's a PP QB......... Yeah then explain him absolutely slaughtering 5v5.

 

[Bizzare]

I didn't say that did I? For me, they are both future Norris winners.

"The only reason" what does that mean in your world?

Q Hughes is so good, I'm holding out hope that he might sign with the Leafs in free agency since he admitted that he is a Leafs fans and still follows the team. (Won't happen, but one can dream)

I love his skating and puck handling, just a pleasure to watch. Vancouver's got an excellent player in him.

Sign with the Leafs when exactly?

Never

(Vancouver would never let it happen. )
