Quinn Hughes Mega thread: Top in points, Norris consideration, MVP and Canucks fans hearts

[jackjohnson]

Quinn Hughes reminds me of Scott Niedermayer but a bet more elusive in skating.

 

[WTG]

Not everything about Hughes needs to tie back to Makar. Colorado fans are already too insecure as is + it's kind of cringe.

Makar had a 3 point night as well

Why do you have to drag us into this again

 

[Knight53]

Crosby/Ovechkin of defenceman. Two generational dman who will battle it out for a long time.

Both very talented, but just let the silly rivalry die. Makar has already proven himself and taken all the hardware first

 

[Artorius Horus T]

pace for 133 points
also pace for +100

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Smh Quinn hasn't even done it twice

Orr is still better I guess...

I have absolutely zero control over the squabbling that typically occurs in discussions regarding these players

Makar came into the league at a perfect time and peaked early. He's been declining for two years in a row.

Hughes entered the league young and was in a terrible team and trended upwards.

For the next decade Hughes will leave Makar in the dust.

That wasn’t a direct comment at you, but a general comment.

Can't believe the 2024 Stanley Cup champs Vancouver Canucks haven't won the 2025 Stanley Cup yet.

Good comparison

give it a month or two

 

[Zanon]

Almost 30 minutes of ice time tonight too. Playing like the best player in the NHL right now.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

I really wish "various" teams fan-bases would not be so easily baited in posts like this. Pretty obvious that this type of thread is just put out there to stir sh*t up.

To summate, my player is awesome and better than your player. Please bring up a bunch of reasons that you don't agree and I will do the same, without either of us changing our minds.

 

[Breakers]

I dont think he was that good Tonight

I hated his game 5v5

 

[Spectrefire]

The Makar bias is strong with voters. Hughes will have to be head and shoulders better than Makar by season's end just to have a chance.

The Norris is all about media attention, and right now, attention is squarely focused on Hughes who has so much going for him.

Newly minted captain.

The Canucks are doing unexpectedly well and are leading the conference.

Clear cut leader in defenseman scoring.

All-star quality play both offensively and defensively.

Scoring race against his brother is also going to be on a lot of people's radar once Jack comes back.

If Canucks make the playoffs and high in standings, Hughes will not only win the Norris but probably the Hart too. Just because he is the captain and leading scorer and a dman that logs 30 minutes. Those are huge xfactors

Not only that but he leads our team in both mentality and scoring. While Makar gets his points quietly, Hughes has bigger role on our team. He is the captain.

Interesting... So if I understand you correctly what your saying is he's basically the second coming of Bobby Orr

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Damn I guess I was wrong

Quinn has moved a tier above Makar, offensively and defensively. Can he sustain his current level of play? That is the Great Unanswered Question. I'm convinced he can, but my conviction ain't worth a hill of shit. It's a useless opinion about sports. It is a valid area of debate, though, and Avs fans will definitely have a point should they bring it up. Makar at this point has brought home the hardware, but past hardware doesn't equal current skill. It's an accolade, and past accolades don't mean shit in relation to current play. Only time will tell just how good Hughes may become. Right now, it's pretty f***ing good.

take away the basically or else

 

[Hammman]

35% of Hughes' points this season came in just 2 games (9 points) when Vancouver ran the score up on a couple shitty teams.

Makar and Fox are better defensemen, and that hasn't changed.

35% of Makar's points this season came in just 2 games (6 points) when Colorado ran the score up on a couple shitty teams.

Take those points away from both players and Hughes has 17 points in 14 games, Makar has 11 in 13.

EDIT: These are incorrect numbers; 28% for Makar, not 35%. He'd have 15 in 13.
