a few days ago I witnessed a few debating Quinn Hughes usefulness and whether or not hes a legit top 2 for a team.. Well boys, the proof is in the pudding. This team missed him sorely tonight. Quinn doesn't just chew up minutes, he creates time and space and thats exactly what we needed tonight and didn't see enough of. The team rallied well after Schenn took a beating and Halak was chased (I would have pulled him after 4 goals) but Quinn I think would have tipped the odds in our favour.. Just my 2 cents.. Night.

Quinn does settle down things on our end, and can very quickly move the puck out of our zone either with a perfect pass or he will avoid a forecheck and tear down the ice. Canucks were overwhelmed last night and I think he would have made a difference, helped with possession and settled down that momentum that the Islanders gained scoring so quickly.

This is a weird take man. Quinn isn't clearing the crease on those screen shots. We got beat had nothing to do with missing huggy. You have to have the puck to move it. Hammonic or Tryamkin might have made a difference. Or Halak not playing like garbage. But Quinn? Thats like saying we would have won that fight if Garland dropped the mitts instead of Shenn.

Halak was absolutely garbage, but a guy like Quinn with his speed and poise tends to hold the puck more, which means the Isles dont have it. There is less turnover chance and a much likelier chance he can transition it out. He is far FAR better than 5 out of 6 of our D that were playing last night and he would have absolutely helped.
