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

[DimitriL07]

Why can’t people just give flowers to players when it’s due. Makar and Hughesy are both electric and Hughes just happens to be playing better currently. No need to convince people constantly who’s the better one. Just a weird insecurity that I have no reason why is even an insecurity. Always found it hilarious.

If EK can win the Norris, Hughes most certainly can.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Not a chance in hell I'm making another Canucks thread, but this is pretty remarkable.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

To think Detroit could have drafted Hughes but went with Filip Zadina instead.

 

[mistergreat]

Nah the Avalanche are just the Quebec Nordiques. Denver didn't win anything
I think Makar is better but it is amusing to see people on here pretend that is no chance Hughes will get better than he already is. He's also younger than Fox and Makar too I think

 

[ChuckFanForever]

- one horrendous giveaway resulting in horvats goal

No worries, Horvat returned the favour on the game quinner! Bo was the one closest to Huggy before the pass went to him...

Not a good year to finally abandon my Canuck heavy fantasy strategy.

When was the last time a D man was leading the league in scoring this much into the season?

When was the last time a D man was leading the league in scoring this much into the season?

Queue the excuses:

"The Oilers are struggling"
"Scoring for Dmen is up"
"PDO!!!!"
"Makar is better"
"Only X numer of games"
"Regular season means nothing"

And so on...

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Bobby Orr

 

[nuxnux1]

The guy is a cheat code out there, but it would be absurd if he kept this up

 

[jackjohnson]

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

Lmao I think Canucks deserve a bit of praising considering their play so far this season. You definitely try to over exaggerate it. So we can't even say anything about the team if they are good but when they are bad, it's ok to trash the team.

 

[eviohh26]

Really no need to drag Makar into this. Hughes is killing it though. Just took his game to another level

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Why bring Makar into it?

Can't Quinn just be the best D right now without dragging anyone else into it (nvm the reigning king).

Quinn's performance will continue at this level, we'll see how the production fares & how his Norris candidacy goes, but theres still plenty of time in season.

 

[LeProspector]

he has played well this seaosn

 

[PuckMunchkin]

If EK can win the Norris, Hughes most certainly can.

I mean on the other hand Hughes is the best player in the league right now.

And then on the other hand he plays in the west.

Who knows!

 

[LemonSauceD]

As usual it’s our usual suspect Canuck fans that seem to bring up Makar to instigate and the same Avs fans that take the bait. Let’s enjoy this without having to compare him to Makar, who’s accomplished more than anything Hughes has done so far in this league.

Ken Holland leaving sh*t stains everywhere

It's way too early to be picking awards for this season. However, we could see two dmen get 100 points this year and the Norris will likely come down to which team finishes higher in the standings.

Quinn Hughes would still win. Quinn Hughes leads all players with a time of 41 minutes of puck on stick possession. Next highest is 31 minutes, while playing 2 mins less than 2nd place. Makar is a distant 2nd atm cause of this stat.

 

[Grigowski]

Best D-Man in the league at the moment. I have no problem admitting that openly.

Hell, Vancouver as a team is playing damn good hockey atm. What a turnaround so far.

Lets see how, and if this continues. Makes the west and pacific more interesting.

That's a very remarkable stat! Incredible to say the least.

 

[Spilot23]

Me thinking Makar was finally catching up Hughes after last night game until I saw Hughes getting another 3 pointer. Defensively though Makar hasn't been up for his standard. Also sorry for bringing Makar in this thread.

 

[Panteras]

I look at the guy, and think to myself he should be getting ready for the next Dungeons & Dragons tournament, yet he’s an elite NHL defenseman. Still can’t wrap my head around it but here we are, he’s a gem.

Makar is right there all of a sudden, this is going to be a defensemen points race for the ages.
