kinot-2 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 From the Vancouver Sun: “Just worry about the next game,” suggested Miller. And there’s lots to worry about. Montreal has dominated the season series with a 4-0-1 record and has outscored Vancouver 28-16. Former Canucks winger Tyler Toffoli, who’s second in NHL goals, has eight goals in the season series, 11 points, 25 shots and is a plus-9." Are we in their heads?

jennifer_rocket Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Quinn Hughes likely would have his confidence destroyed and be demoted to Laval if he was a Montreal prospect... Because that's just how we do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's just how we do it. yeah as ive said before: fans often look at highlights and say 'thats what we need' but as good as Hughes is offensively, he's been really pretty bad defensively. Maybe an in-his-prime Weber or similar player playing next to him would have worked but right now Hughes has not been good from his own blueline back. There's still time to learn that side of the game but i almost guarantee if we had drafted him, he'd be in Laval (or maybe on our 3rd pair) and being asked to play a defensive game which, frankly, he may never be suited for.

I will say he has a lot of talent and he can still learn and may turn out to be better. Sort of like how everyone was thrilled with the Ghost in Philly in his first season or so. Now he sometimes sits out. It's great to have offensive skills as long as a young player can learn when and where to utilize them. If they don't concentrate on being good defensively they can fall out with coaches and the teams quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a terrible team so they just let him "do his thing" for 20 minutes a night - and he's a beast in the offensive zone, but away from the puck he's been pretty bad. On a contending or even decent team, he's probably pushed down the lineup (or at very least limited in his minutes) so he can be less of a defensive liability.

He's been playing some good minutes for Philly this year and would have been an upgrade IMO over Chiarot or Edmundsen at the time, but the difference now is miniscule at least over Chiarot. Edmundsen's plus minus is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmundsen's plus minus is solid. For some reason I was never a big fan of Ghost. Though he might be good in a limited role. I just don't think we have a deep enough d to have someone of a limited role. I do think watching that if Romanov gets enough time on the PP and some OT time. I think he has the tools to develop into what were missing. He's just not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptWelly Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 I do hope tonight the team keeps the pressure on and doesn't ease up because of our last success against Vancouver. The last game is what the team needed to feel good again. The team needs to play hard the full game be aggressive and stay out of the box!!! Lets do this!.......................................................................GO HABS GO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
