In one 2 minute interview Hughes was more honest and forthcoming than Tochett, Allvin and Rutherford, yet also made this entire EP40 vs JTM seem like no big deal, and just more of something that happens when players are struggling to play their best hockey.

I feel like the three of them (Tochett, Allvin and Rutherford) could all take some notes from Hughes here.

If they had handled it like Hughes did, I think they could have prevented it from becoming such a big story (and more importantly such a distraction).

They are well above average management team in my book but their PR is just awful.

Right now, Quinn Hughes is virtually the only reason for even watching the Canucks.

If he to ever go down, knock on wood, it would basically be time to run up the white flag on the entire season.

Not confused at all. I just don’t buy the laundry list of excuses that are being offered up to excuse Petey for his poor play
Ok let me help you one more time:
JT Miller is paid 8 mil per year to not score while not playing with Quinn Hughes.

Brock Boeser is paid 6.65 mil per year to not score while not playing with Quinn Hughes.

Jake DeBrusk is paid 5.5 mil per year to not score while not playing with Quinn Hughes.

Happy holidays buddy.

Hughes rarely shows any emotion on the ice or on the bench. He just goes out there and dominates.

But tonight was different. You could see the way he shaking his head at times when the came to the bench. Even he's frustrated with this team right now.

I know he won't win the Hart--but he should. He's about all the Canucks have right now who's driving any offense. Without him, they're basically nowhere in the league standings.

I hope I was able to help you understand why Canuck forwards are having trouble scoring this season.

edit.

Can you explain one more thing. I have trouble understanding you and Im starting to think its not just my fault here.

Why do you think saying "EP does not produce away from QH" some how a unfair defence of EP....

but

When I say JT Miller also does not produce away from QH that does not trigger you at all?

How come?

Gonna have to lurk more over here. Excitement guaranteed.

Anyway, who's paired with Quinn while Hronek is out? Are the Canucks looking for a fill-in until Hronek is back?

Some on HF Sabres are convinced you guys want Byram. First off, I don't see the fit. Secondly, if Byram wants to be *the guy*, Vancouver is one of the last places he should be looking.

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas to my expansion bros.

Because they entered the league together in 1970, the Sabres are one of the teams in the East that I've always pulled for.

But these are trying times for Buffalo fans. A bit baffling really. The same owners also own the Buffalo Bills, and they're one of the NFL's success stories year after year.

I see the GM Kevyn Adams complained recently that Buffalo 'doesn't have palm trees and low state taxes' and no free agents want to come. But it wasn't too long ago that Vancouver was in the same boat.

But hope springs eternal. Neither the Sabres or Canucks have ever won a Cup.....just hope it happens before I pass on.

Cheers.

Really don't want to get into all the Sabres drama. Total, seemingly endless shitshow. It will end eventually.

Best of luck to the Canucks. Easy team to like.
