Quinn Hughes vs Cale Makar: 2023 Edition

[dirtydanglez]

hughes has been compared to makar for each of the last 6 seasons. one season hughes had a better year and now canuck fans want to act like hughes and makar are now equals. nope, come back with another major award or two to even have that conversation.

I mean... the thread question was who was better in the 23-24 season, that's pretty much why people are in here.

Nobody would dispute that Makar has had a better career, but there's definitely an argument to be made that Hughes has been better since last September.

The amount of Canucks fans who need to whip it out for no reason comparing these two. Im actually excited to watch Quinn and the gang whoop Canada's ass in Italy in 2 years.

Hmm show me some advanced analytics dong backflips of how he has been better the past 15 months. Points wise, it appears close, but he is still lacking as he has his entire career.

Quinn: 97 GP - 20g 88a 108p 1.11 ppg - 91.3 point 82 game pace
Cale: 95 GP - 27g 88a 115p 1.21 ppg - 99.3 point 82 game pace

It's apparently been evident at this point of exhaustion where several posts show stats of him having better advanced analytics and simply being better defensively around that timeframe . No need to pretend here.

Not the “haha gotcha” moment you think it is. I said Makar is better.

The clip showed Hughes and makar.. where is the correlation in your clip with the two?

Remember folks, this is just a very tiny percentage of Avs fans throwing a tantrum, just like there was a small percentage of Canucks fans throwing tantrums last time around

Avs fans as a whole are up there in terms of being a knowledgeable fan base.

Just making this post because I keep hearing "Avs fan this, Avs fan that"

If you can’t figure that out, that’s not my problem.

yea i acknowledge hughes was better in 23-24. everything else has been makar. hughes might get there but hes got to come with more than just a single major trophy.

The people you were talking about are the people who think that one player has been better every season because they don't watch and they don't understand stats, those people aren't worth occupying your brain space with, and there are some of those in both fan bases.

What point are you trying to make? Everyone knows this. We are talking about the last 13-14 months.
