Grape Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's really clear that opponents have keyed in on Quinn more than last season and offensively he's doing really well to combat that. Quinn has 9 in 9 and I said at the beginning of the season I hoped he'd at least go PPG. I gotta say though with Michigan's defensive and goaltending struggles he might have to focus a bit more on defensive play. Obviously with struggles on that end the whole team will be playing less in the offensive zone as expected, so I think staying just above PPG could be a goal rather than an expectation. I do hope this team turns it around like last year's team does and does something remarkable. The goalies have to step it up big time though as they have horrid percentages, but obviously that starts with Quinn and the D. Not too worried about the offense with Quinn, Will, and Josh Norris spearheading it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all over the moon with Boeser and EP, and then we're going to have Quinn join the team. This guy is going to be so much better than people expect. Another Calder candidate - three years in a row for us. #firebenning 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grape Posted November 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Hughes with an assist but from what I saw had plenty of other chances and had a beautiful individual play go off the post (he's hit more iron than net this season so far this year). He's been surpassed in points by Lockwood who had 4 assists! Lockwood now with 11 in 10, Hughes with 10 in 10. 6-4 Michigan over #4 Penn State Edited November 17, 2018 by Grape 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I hope he can turn into a Brian Leetch type guy. Here’s hoping! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Hughes with two assists now, as Michigan makes it a one goal game in the 3rd. Penn State leads 4-3. EDIT: PSU scores and restores the 2 goal lead. 5-3 EDIT: Check that, now 5-4 Edited November 18, 2018 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 3 assists and 8 shot attempts for Hughes. Michigan loses 7-6 in OT. But the Wolverines came back from a couple two goal deficits, including a late rally to tie the game and force OT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his strength coaches here for him 24/7 and with guys coming after him a bit more on the ice, his physical play has stepped up. His power and explosiveness is way better." "Probably playing too many minutes to be honest. Around 26 minutes a night as least. He is one of those guys who has to and wants to stay involved so we use him in all situations. You can see his confidence even more so than last year." "In my estimation he is well ahead of where he was last season, he brings people out of their seats. He is a lot more outgoing and relaxed as well. He is easy to talk to but it seems he is more comfortable in his surroundings. His drive is amazing and higher this year." Anyone follow this league closely? I swear Michigan was suppose to be a strong team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan has been a bit soft defensively, and not just the D corps but team-wide, and their goaltenders have definitely struggled to make saves in several games. And yes, as @westcoastsniper notes, they hasn’t converted as much as the should have on some of the chances Hughes creates (and Norris is hardly alone in that regard). The Wolverines definitely haven’t looked as good as many people, including myself, were expecting then to be this season. That said, they really haven’t been terrible either. Just not the powerhouse they were pegged to be (most preseason rankings had them top-5 in the NCAA). But they are still sitting in decent enough position in their conference (they’re currently 3rd in the Big Ten), and have split their two series against highly ranked Penn State and Notre Dame. There’s still plenty of time for them to climb the rankings and conference standings, and make it into the national tournament. On the other hand, if they don’t get things on track, and they bow out early this season, it means that Hughes becomes available to sign his ELC and join Vancouver for a few games before 2018-19 closes out. Not necessary a bad outcome, if that’s how things go. Actually, as a Canucks fan, it’s might be the best case scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Just to update the scoring stats: Hughes now has 13 points (3G 10A) in 11 games. He’s one point behind Makar (who had that hot start but has cooled off since) and three points off the outright NCAA defenceman scoring lead (with a game in hand on the leader). EDIT: I think Hughes will continue to climb the leaderboard, but I don’t think he can catch Adam Fox the way he’s playing for Harvard (15 points in only 7 games so far). However, it’s also a heck of a lot easier for Fox to put up points as an elite player in the ECAC than it is for Hughes to dominate the Big Ten (which is a far more competitive conference).
