That is so brutal

Poor kid, not a good game for a first… hopefully one of the players will give him a stick or a jersey..

[McIlhargey the Lesser]

Is this Quinn’s first game with 5 points?

This is some great hockey, I’ve always wondered how it looks for a team to not let up against shitty team and just spank em.

yeah, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, to fit the story he’s a journeyman.

 

except he’s an amazing skater, and I only notice him making good plays.

 

what gives? Is this just Cole carrying his pair? Doesn’t look like it.

It’s certainly a bit of a mystery.  Not getting a ton of ice - so that’s part of it - but looking great when he’s out there.  So far, so good.

[Outsiders]

give Hoglander some PP time cmon 

[Chickenspear]

Garland, ouch!

Aww I remember I used to do this in the Burr thread. Great memories.

I think the last time I pulled this out was the Canadian World Juniors where they racked up a bunch. When it gets to 7, that's the time to get it out! 

[Jess]

All a man needs to say to make it clear he understands.

 

"Ah."

Tochett taking pity  now on the PP

Just in case people aren't paying attention.

After tonights game we will have 4 players in the top eleven in scoring.

Take a gander at the +/-

 

Never seen that before.

Hughes — like other offensively gifted, defensively lacking blueliners — dropped a bit after we spoke to people around the league. “He’s good,” one scout said. “I don’t know how good he is. I really don’t.”

We know he carries the offensive load for a mediocre team, which he does well. Ultimately, we slotted him behind veterans like Roman Josi and Erik Karlsson who, while not without their warts, are simply better at running the show. They’re transcendent talents with the puck. Hughes isn’t at that level, and his placement reflects it.

All in all, he’s a talented player, but not yet a complete one — and his play without the puck is an issue for both analysts and scouts. “He has not gotten better or worse for me in years,” one analyst said. “He’s just been the exact same dude plugging along.”

This feels like a critical year for Hughes, who turns 24 in October, but a full season with Rick Tocchet as his coach and Carson Soucy as his partner are real reasons to expect improvement.
