Player Discussion Quinn Hughes, Pt. VII

[Chaos Giraffe]

Has a 6 point lead on Makar now. Needs a strong last 25 games to lock up the Norris. Should be top 5 for the Hart trophy as well.

It's kind of crazy he still has a 6 point lead. He hasn't played poorly, but offensive production has been quite terrible over the past 5 games (0g+2a). Makar only has 1g+0a in that same stretch.

 

[strattonius]

I really want him to win the Norris. One because it's an incredible achievement for him and Two because Avs fans are annoying af about how Makar is on another planet.

Norris is pretty likely at this point barring injury or a complete tank in play. I don’t think he’ll end up very high in Hart voting though given the number of strong forward years

I thought Avs fans are chill now?

8 pts up now on Cale

 

[Bobby9]

He’s usually a pretty laid back player but you can start to see the frustration take over when the physical, low scoring and tight checking games are played.

Lots of interest in how he looks in the playoffs

I think he's frustrated because he never gets any calls even in the regular season. Teams can't keep up so they pretty much turn into lumber jacks with their sticks all game.

NHL is gonna let our playoff opponent go full Shayne Churla on him. Really not going to blame Quinn if he snaps like Bure did.

sadly i don’t think quinn really has the physique to go bure on anyone

 

[David71]

he needs to slap the puck more. no more wristers on the powerplay.

8 pts up now on Cale

Hughes is 6 points back on the Canucks leading scorer.

Makar is 21 points back on the Avs leading scorer.

Makar has the opportunity to benefit from MacKinnon and Rantanen creating offense a lot more than Hughes can benefit from Miller or Pettersson creating offense.

Yet Hughes is still ahead in scoring.

Dman point production is extremely dependant on PP opportunity and success.

Our PP has had a rough stretch. QH is not getting a ton of points.

Remember there's a GM that don't think QH is a top 10 Dman. And Makar led Norris votes by a margin in the recent ESPN poll. Don't underestimate ingrained misperception.

I'd pay to know who that GM is. He's got to have some serious cognitive issue, and I'm not even joking.

You could make coherent arguments about Hughes not even being a top 3 defenceman THIS season. But not top 10?

Hughes without any goals and a 75% reduction in +/- would be a top 10 dman.

Turns out it's Holland still upset he drafted Zadina over Hughes.

 

[Knight53]

70 points. Needs 30 pts in 22 games to hit 100. Unlikely but not impossible for him.

Im going to the game tuesday so hopefully he rips pittsburgh up.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The best defenceman we are likely to ever see wear this jersey. Players like this come around once or twice every 20 years, and that's league-wide.

i’ve been watching since tom kurvers was QBing our PP

hughes is seriously a once in a lifetime player for most fanbases

 

[Knight53]

Hughes and Makar will probably alternate norris’s for the next 8 years. Two generational talents on defence.

 

[Knight53]

Last 3 point game was a month ago. 8 points in last 12 games. Him and Makar have slowed down a bit offensively and Josi is making a last season surge.

Still the favourite for the Norris but needs a 3-4 point game soon.

 

[Regal]

Don’t want to hate on him, but Hughes having some rough games for his standards is a big factor in the team’s struggles. Having him tilt the ice 25 min a night was so important to the big start. Hopefully he can get back to that consistent level soon.

 

[Knight53]

 

[potatowejj]

Oh just perhaps the three greatest offensive defensemen to have ever played, no biggy.

 

[LordBacon]

Quinn Hughes is the next best thing to grill cheese bacon sandwich.
What a f***ing season he is having, remarkable player.

Is there tomato in this grilled cheese bacon sandwich? This affects how remarkable Quinn Hughes is.
