Again, that's a bit (not entirely as I agree, they're better players) like saying Ekholm/Subban are an 'ideal' 2nd pairing. For now, he's a solid #2, 1st pairing D. He very well could trend down to 2nd pair as he ages. Or if we're fortunate enough that he remains a #2 and we have the luxury of two better D that push him to 2nd pair ... Well we're laughing.

BlueDragon23 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Have to say, Quinn’s shot has improved a lot in the last few months compared to what I witnessed at the WJC. Can’t wait till he joins us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Quinn will not be going to Vancouver until at least March 10th. If UM wins the best of 3 Vancouver will have to wait till the 16th which is the semis, and if UM advances to the finals that’ll be on the 23rd. If UM wins that, the. Vancouver will have to wait until around April since that means UM will be in the NCAA tournament. If they lose at any point in that stretch Quinn will be coming to Vancouver. I'm definitely not going to cheer for UM to lose so hopefully he goes to Vancouver as late as possible Edited February 23, 2019 by Grape 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Quinn with 1G 1A tonight in the biggest game of the year so far. Now with 31 in 27, Lockwood has 27 in 31. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this new sorcery, and why aren't they standing on their X's? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Brannstrom score twice with that play at the WJC. With the way Hughes' shot is improving and his ability to move laterally across the blue line, he might even be able to pull that off at even strength. That shot goes in ...every time in the NHL as well...the goalie had to track back from his right side and the shot was top left corner and moving along at a good enough clip to beat Price or anyone else for that matter. Coming to rink near you...nearly now...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 With the way EP's skating is improving and QH's shot is improving.... We may ...have Gretzky-Coffey 2.0 coming .... I think that warrants a Just Watch as well...! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yea Quinn has 5 goals this season but has hit the post more than 5 times as well with his shot. His goal total is a bit deflated. Just as I speak he hits the post. Seriously, can’t make it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seinfeld Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Super excited to watch him play soon like all of you guys are. I grew up watching the Canucks during the WCE era and I don't think we've ever had a defenceman quite as skilled or unique as Hughes. And not with this kind of anticipation for as as long as I can remember at least. F**k tempering expectations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not seen a D man with Quinn's offensive skill set since Orr. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Both 5 10. Both American. However Rafalski was never drafted and didnt play in the nhl until he was 26 so major difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I've never seen a player like Hughes. Y'know, I've never seen Hughes either..but let's not quibble. Hope he becomes the PMD-man we've never really had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey has skills that cause people to relate him to Gretzky. Quinn's offence puck skills and skating cause me (and others) to relate him to Orr. Petey is not Gretzky, and Quinn is not Orr, but they both play in ways that remind some of those two greats. With the puck Quinn is definitely like Orr. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathrowe Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Any chance Hughes could play March 6th against the Leafs? Travelling to Van for my first game at Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
