Player Discussion Quinn Hughes, Pt. VII

[kanucks25]

Dude is just incredible, what a treat to watch.

In a league where it seems like 98% of players seem to have no time and space to make a play he somehow does it every shift.

On one hand I'm like "there's no way he's gonna dominate this shift again" but on the other hand I'm not surprised when he does because it's become automatic.

Sensational.

 

[Duodenum]

Can't think of another player more important to his team than Quinn Hughes. He's the Canucks MVP, best player, throws the Canucks on his back game after game.

Somehow even more dominant than last year, should be leading both the Norris and Hart races at this time and it shouldn't be close. Maybe Kaprisov for Hart.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Need a statue of Ken Holland outside the Rog.

 

[Ernie]

So much to be angry with Benning for.

But he made one very, very good decision.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

So much to be angry with Benning for.

But he made one very, very good decision.

In a situation that was rife with consequential overthinking, we were uniquely equipped to succeed as our decision maker was barely capable of forming coherent thoughts.

[JT Milker]

So much to be angry with Benning for.

But he made one very, very good decision.

Sometimes nepotism draft picks work out.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Makar had a ridiculous start offensively but Hughes is closing the gap, while being the better overall better player.

Norris repeat is a real possibility

 

[Canuckle1970]

He's a beauty, and he's ours.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Makar had a ridiculous start offensively but Hughes is closing the gap, while being the better overall better player.

Norris repeat is a real possibility

4 points back with 2 games in hand.

Makar’s two highest scoring teammates have 28 more points than Hughes’ highest scoring teammates.

Hughes has officially caught and surpassed Makar in the Norris race.

But you aren’t hearing a peep about it in the media.

 

[M2Beezy]

Hes pretty good at ice hockey

 

[RobertKron]

But you aren’t hearing a peep about it in the media.

Considering the media are the ones who vote on the Norris, I'm not sure I'd call it official yet.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

I thought he was too small, one dimensional, not defensively responsible, and that he’d get destroyed by bigger, stronger players?

 

[Bougieman]

4 points back with 2 games in hand.

Makar’s two highest scoring teammates have 28 more points than Hughes’ highest scoring teammates.

Hughes has officially caught and surpassed Makar in the Norris race.

But you aren’t hearing a peep about it in the media.

Great point. Add to that fact that the Canucks don't have a single forward in THE TOP 60 POINT SCORERS IN THE LEAGUE. That's actually kinda astonishing. Quinn is carrying this team both defensively and in scoring.

 

[Rowlet]

Hughes is going to repeat as Norris winner, he's also going to be a Hart finalist

 

[mathonwy]

So much to be angry with Benning for.

But he made one very, very good decision.

Sometimes the brightest lights comes from the dumbest nights.

 

[Quinning]

Hughes is going to repeat as Norris winner, he's also going to be a Hart finalist

He could honestly win both if he keeps up this level of play for the rest of the season.

 

[Rowlet]

I went with Hart finalist because they hate D men, he probably has a good shot at it though.

 

[LordBacon]

I feel like we're literally watching history in the making here.
Is this what it was like to watch Bure play?

 

[iceburg]

Maybe it’s because, as a life long Canucks fan, we’re not allowed to have good things, I’m a little sad. I know it will end someday and I don’t want it to.
He has become my favorite Canuck of all time and he’s only 25.

 

[PavelBure10]

Is this what it was like to watch Bure play?

Yes indeed. Bure did something magical every game. He controlled the pace of the game when the puck was on his stick, and the puck was on his stick often. Hughes is very similar. Hughes has the puck on his stick all the time, controlling the pace of the game while providing out of this world entertainment. Both are the most entertaining Canucks I have seen in my lifetime. Just human highlight reels.

He didn't score this game but we knew we had something special.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

[Bobby9]

Hes starting to gas badly at the end of the games. Wonder how long he can sustain this level of playing time

 

[Quinning]

It's Bure/Hughes at 1A/1B at this point. Both are at the very top of the league for their respective positions, control the outcome of games single-handedly, and get you out of your seat on just about every shift. I'd argue 2007 Luongo was right there as well.

The next tier down would be Sedins, Naslund, Pettersson, Miller, Boeser etc.
