Sedins had older brother and obviously were much than them. Wayne Gretzky and PK Subban disagree. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Lol This whole "which brother is better" question feels more like grasping at straws and I'm pretty sure you guys could go back and forth naming every brother combination in the NHL and comparing. Personally, I don't really think it makes a difference and it's really up to them on an individual basis. Feels obvious to me in saying that but evidently sometimes one has to state the obvious I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotJaredMcCann Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Anyone wanting to watch Quinn play against NHL quality players (Matthews, Parise and Jones to name a few), he's participating in USA Hockey's Stars and Stripes Showdown. The first period is about to begin. Livestream can be found here: https://www.usahockeyarena.com/starsandstripes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right....look at all these other examples....and I am only going to use HHOF or major award winning players to make your point: Brent Gretzky was waaaay better than older brother Wayne Jordan Subban clearly ahead of PK Mike Stevens far better cruncher than older brother Scott Stephane Roy was the NHL equivalent at center to his older brother Patrick in goal Moe Robinson's one NHL game on D was outstanding and made people forget about older brother Larry Rob Niedermayer was far more impactful than his older brother Scott Brett Lindros clearly better than his older brother Eric Vic Howe was something to see....older brother Gordie was a "whatever" Gilbert Dionne made everyone forget older brother Marcel Valeri Bure should have been the "rocket" over older brother Pavel Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't really think there is a trend one way or the other to be honest....but it was fun to look up a few for you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasDrake Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Question for those who have seen Quinn play a lot: Who do you think is the best player comparison for him in the NHL in terms of playing style? Gostisbehere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gostisbehere? I don't know if there's anyone currently playing that is like Hughes. There has been some discussion around players from other eras though. Some say he has the skating, edgework and puck handling of https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=bobby+orr+Highlights&&view=detail&mid=6F1B944B776CE621A1D56F1B944B776CE621A1D5&&FORM=VRDGAR Although Quinn lacks the physical game and massive goal scoring abilities of Orr. Others have mentioned Phil Housley because Quinn's great passing and playmaking abilities. Like Phil, he will likely have a massive amount of assists during his career. Quinn doesn't have Phil's slapshot and probably won't score anywhere near the number of goals. It's very hard to pinpoint a match for Hughes, as his style is quite unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Well I just checked the WJC schedule, it looks like Team USA will play all of its round robin games at Victoria. I will try and go to all 4 games if possible! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a good comparison would be if Pavel Bure played defense, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
