-AJ- Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 3 hours ago, Boudrias said: I do think that Hughes can catch Dale Tallon's records. Tallon was a big talent but always suffered from the Perrault comparisons. Because of a faulty spin of a wheel. A desperate Vancouver fan base demanded more from Tallon than what was fair. He was pushed to fast and IMHO never realized his full potential. Sound familiar? Yeah, it surprised me when I first learned of how good Tallon's rookie campaign was. You hear so much negative talk about him, I had assumed he was a bust until I did my research. Does kind of make you wonder if he'd be a Canuck legend had he stayed in Vancouver and scored maybe 300+ points in our colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapshot85 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I just wanted to create this thread.... to share my joy of having quinn as a canuck... at 20... hes already the best defenseman I have ever seen in a canucks uniform. We have had some good ones.... but hes another level. I mean seriously.... to think to push your teamate to catch a breakaway ... like a dman warp drive is so creative and its fast thinking....hes never beat... in that situation he diddnt give up skating.... he was able to make the diffrence 2 men back. He has some opportunities to grow But I dman ( lol) impressed. Edited November 24, 2019 by Snapshot85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It brings to mind the butt pushes done in speed skating relay and team pursuit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think Jeff Tambellini once compared him to Bobby Orr before when he coached him in college. Lucky for us we have the second comings of both Gretzky and Orr Just wait till he hits his prime 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of players have done it before. It's not like Quinn is the first guy to ever push a teammate from behind--it's just that he's done it twice now in a relatively small time frame and had it be very effective both times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Quinn leading the way. Tallon could do everything but I thought his passing was top flight. He had good size so wasn't pushed around. What truly was not fair was the way fans sold him short. He actually delivered pretty well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It just shows how smart of a kid he is. It would not even occur to the vast majority of players in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was an actor I'd wish him to "break a leg". Too bad Bobby Clark wasn't around for a good two hander on him!

Tre Mac Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 He did not have a good game last night, he, Petey and Boeser were pretty terrible tbh. Not worried, they all can't be gems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 5 minutes ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: IMO, Quinn is the best of this rookie class. No disrespect to Makar, but honestly, if Quinn was on the Avs playing with Mac all game long, he would be the scoring leader among all rookies right now. I would argue that Quinn drives the play on this team more than any other player (Petey included). Makar does it sometimes, but reality is that Mac drives the play on that team. I really hope Quinn keeps it up and wins the Calder this year. He deserves it more than Makar IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hughes still obviously has a long way to go defensively and it'd be nice to find him a solid two-way defender who's primarily a shutdown guy to play with going forward down the line, but of course it's nice to see Quinn rack up points. He might realistically hit 60 points if he's healthy all season which will be monstrous considering he's maybe our 3rd best defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
