Player Discussion Quinn Hughes, Pt. VII

[MS]

he’s not as good as 2003 playoffs niedermayer by a longshot. that was the best nieds ever played and he was at the very end of his twenties during that conn smythe-worthy run.

Oh, for sure. It was just easier to make my point by saying 30 instead of 29.6.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Now we have a better version of Niedermayer, we just need to find a better version of Pronger.

personally i’d prefer a better scott stevens

man that would be fun to watch

You wouldn't be watching anything. He'd play like 9 unsuspended minutes a season.

oh man wasn't Pronger one of the dirtiest players in recent NHL history?

Stevens would spend half the year on suspension in this new NHL - he was the definition of a “ predatory hitter”….

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Will be the new captain of the Vancouver Canucks..IMO.

You’re probably right. Considering his family background he’s also probably a lot more suited to handle the media than Petey is.

Thats what I thought..EP seemed hesitant about taking on the captaincy..Hughes is the man.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Hughes will be Captain America, while still looking like the lil kid version.

 

[EpochLink]

Hughes has taken great improvements and strides this year on his defense. His puck handling/staking and pushing the play up ice has improved since his first year.

Hughes will be captain I feel, let EP do his thing.

for some weird reason hughes has always reminded me of the silent kid in this sketch —

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Love that he salutes the fans
He 100% knew what Horvat said

That's amazing! (The resemblance and the sketch itself.)

so it’s not just me

the way that kid slips away from them twice, that’s so quinn with the puck right?

I would’ve been okay with giving him the C on the spot if he threw in a “I’ll tell you that for free”

 

[kranuck]

So is he hurt or what?

6 games without a point. Maybe he's just checked out at this point.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Puck luck is more volatile for a Dman. Thought he has been making plays lately that show yet another gear. He ain't hurt, he's just warming up career wise.

 

[kranuck]

Well seeing him right at the top of scoring was cool.

Shame he completely disappeared and now won’t even finish top 5.

What a shitty shitty end to a season.

He’s not getting Norris votes. Ugh

Half the f***ing league has a 70+ point dman. Can’t believe I deluded myself into thinking he was special or something. f***ing montour and Heiskanen are better offensively now. What a joke.

I know I'm being ridiculous. I know it.

Just... f***! The only f***ing thing I was really enjoying this season was him doing well. Now it's all gone to shit right at the end.

I am serious about feeling like he's not that special. when 8 guys can get 70+ points he's probably struggling to be top 20.

This sucks.

Do you need a hug?

 

[kranuck]

Do you need a hug?

Yes I didn’t sleep well and now I’m grouchy.

 

[rypper]

Also he's tied for 3rd in defensive scoring and they play the sad sack coyotes tonight. A lot would have to go right to take over 2nd but he can solidify 3rd. And that's not half bad, I'll tell you that for free.

Hed have 2md locked up if not for this massive slumo while every other guy has been feasting on post deadline trash.

12 since march 1st.

 

[Coffee]

Everyday as part of my gratitude exercise is giving thanks that we have this player

 

[TomWillander1RD]

Even if he's not the highest scoring dman, it doesn't change the fact that Hughes is a special talent and the best dman this team has ever had.

 

[canuckking1]

He ends up 2nd In D scoring. Meltdown a little premature @kranuck
