Confirmed with Link: Quinn Hughes wins the James Norris Memorial Trophy (Top Defensemen)

[Bojack Horvatman]

I don’t know if you are aware, but I can’t help but stare as Huggy Bear accepts Norris hardware.

Congrats Quinn ,you deserve it.

 

[Spectrefire]

Can we all take time to truly appreciate the GM who was responsible for bringing Hughes to Vancouver?

 

[arttk]

Woohoo

 

[ziploc]

Staking his claim amongst the great cadre of Canucks Defencemen who have gone before him!

 

[bh53]

Definitely has secured the title of greatest defenseman in Canucks history after this

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Hughes in a runaway. My goodness.

I’m shocked Spector didn’t give Bouchard a first place vote

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Demko finished 2nd for the Vezina as voted by the GMs - he was the consensus No. 2 vote, it seems.

 

[God]

Tier 3B defenseman.

Really loving the five 3rd place votes he received, I assume they're coming from Terry Jones, Mark Spector, and Jim Matheson plus whoever gave a 1st place vote for Adam Fox lol

 

[VanillaCoke]

Unbelievably amazing

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I hate that Makar got first place votes and was top 3 he was not great this year. Also no the NHL award show is on had no clue.

 

[Grumbler]

Congrats!!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hughes (and Miller!) got some Hart love, too!

Thank Mr Holland

Congratulations Captain Hughes.

Orca history has been written.

 

[Javaman]

Well deserved. My hope is that people outside of Canucks nation will understand that he's pretty damned good defensively and not just an offensive defenseman.

On second thought, I don't want them to think that until after he signs his next contract with the Canucks.

 

[sting101]

We should be selling high.

 

[Strangelove]

Attaboy Quinn.

Bull shit Quinn, you could do it alone.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Man, I remember that draft like it was yesterday. Arguing about size/skill. Going back and forth on Bouchard/Dobson/Hughes. Projecting him out to be a PPQB, or more... Now look at him!

Congratulations to the Jewel Thief!

What an absolute home run pick this was and I'm glad this franchise was the beneficiary of it. Could not be happier for him.

The crazy part is that he just keeps on improving every year. It’s as much about drive as it is about raw skill.

 

[geebster]

Far and away the Norris winner, as is deserved. Makar really wasnt in the discussion and Josi being good at similar things but being worse at those things than Hughes. Some delusional votes for Bouchard but thats to be expected.

Said it before but he reminds me of Crosby in that he always seems to improve a weakness every year

Hughes was the clearcut winner on the votes this year and rightfully so. Such an amazing year for Quinn and it's amazing to see him to make Canucks history as the first Canuck defenseman to win the Norris. Already the best defenseman in franchise history and he hasn't even scratched the surface. It is known now throughout the league on just how good Hughes is, finally getting the respect around the NHL that he always deserved. Amazing to see Quinn get immensely better each year, and I am looking forward to what he improves in his game for next season. Such an amazing player and I am so honored to call him a Vancouver Canuck. A real pleasure to watch as a Canucks fan.

Congrats Quinn on your first Norris, you certainly deserved it.

He's no Jim Sandlak, that's for sure.
