He's had to become creative in order to keep the opposition wondering if he'll shoot/score or set up something for someone else. Keeps them guessing. Mixing it up rather than being one dimensional. He should shoot more and he's said that...but he also has to keep it creative. It's not about making a "pretty" pass....it's about eluding those who expect him to shoot. His passes just happen TO BE pretty because he's so damned skilled and can see things in a split second that others might miss. He's not trying to be fancy, he's fooling his opponents and never gives up on a play. Often, these things happen when you feel like he has no options. The Sedins were magicians and so is he...I see that more as a pro than a con. another angle might be that this is kinda like practise time and /or fun time.. sure he's competitive and wants to win, but it's an opportunity to work on things that actually will matter, starting in October 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a killer instinct that is SOOOO exciting for us, as fans. There's no talking/walking stuff...he just uses a stare then backs it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Pete seems to focus more on setting up Boes rather than sniping goals. Would love for JB to find a playmaking LW to force him to shoot more. Krebbs could be that guy in a couple of years. What a playmaker and he can play C or LW!

His zone exits and entries were more than double any other d man in his brief debut. These are pros and Hughes blew them away. Possession was our strongest aspect during the peak Sedin years. It is the key to any real success and when your GM doesn't draft a d man for 6-8 years in the top 2-3 rounds other than Yann (look both ways) Sauve, it can really create a void. The increased presence of D men being taken in the top 60 by a Nucks GM is so very important. Hughes is a guy who creates chemistry too. I think he could be paired with anyone and play either side, especially on the PP. Get him and a healthy OJ feeding pucks and keeping possession will only increase Ep40's numbers. This team will be able to do things it hasn't in a long time. Hughes is making it look easy...he has been the most consistent D. for the USA ...he hasn't made a bad pass and seems to play both sides of the ice, covering for his partner WAY more than the other way around. Plus he uses his teammates unlike Eichel who is so arrogant and a puck hog...the guy wouldn't even pass to Hughes on a break away...he just held the puck until he lost it...Quinn knows how to play and how to use his teammates and would have sent Eichel in if the play was reversed.... EP just needs his legs to keep up with his mind....and given his ability to improve quickly...I expect we will see a faster, stronger EP next year. This team is going to turn some heads next year.... Just watch...! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how i feel. EP's mind and hands are too fast for his feet at this point. Some quick feet and a stronger base will help EP take it to another level where he can deke guys without falling down or getting himself in awkward positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why for the benefit of the Canuck team it will be better if the Calder goes to someone else and EP40 finishes second in the voting. He will be pissed off. REALLY pissed off and will come out next year like he was shot out of a cannon. He may look like a 10 year old choir boy but the kid is an assassin and if was a GoT character would be Arya. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
