this is fantastic and well deserved. also a real milestone for this franchise to me as a longtime fan. we have never to my recall had a norris finaliist before let alone a winner and we have never had a dman in his class. hughes is an amazing player who makes us better and leads the team.
also, not a popular thing to say but every canuck fan owes a debt to benning and weisbrod for hughes. right after detroit passed on hughes when their coach had just had him at the wc tournament, those two guys were clearly super excited to get hims and benning was dead right about the home run. i know people here hate to give credit to benning for anything, let alone weisbrod, but this time it is due. i tip my hat to them and thank them for finally getting us a 1d.
