@@Hydraxas I think your crazy if you think Hughes is gunna be on the ice defending Kane and Perry. ;] The Oilers have probably thrown the least amount if hits this playoffs. I'm not saying no one on the oilers is going to try and hit the guy, just that it won't be the same as this series. On top of that Oilers dnt really play that style, they can match Hughes with talent and speed. They dnt need to put a bounty on the guys head.

Vegas doesn’t have a 100 point player because they put them on LTIR before they hit 100 points

Hughes has literally been the best and most dangerous player on the ice this whole series.

Hronek has been mostly invisible in this series.... its time that Tocchet brings in Zadorov in place of Hronek to pair with Hughes and bring some needed protection/toughness/offence to that defensive pairing and make the Preds think twice about taking liberty on Hughes

Makar is basically the same size as Hughes, doesn't have this issue, and his team can't compensate with a huge ass blue line like Vancouver's can.. I think it really just boils down to speed and the fact that Makar has WAY more postseason experience than his counterpart. Hughes is uber-talented and I would guess that (just like his Avs counterpart) as he gets more and more playoff exposure, he'll eventually learn how to play and think faster to avoid this kind of punishment.

Posted for 7 seconds before it pops up. Algorithm on point

If the Canucks took advantage of those double his on Hughes, they probably would then stop. When two players take themselves out to make a hit on the same guy, it really opens the ice and the Nucks should just go for it. It puts your team in a position similar to playing short handed.

I think a lot of the guys haven't been taking the chances created by the amount of attention and personel drawn by Quinn. Guys like Petterson have looked reticent to take shots and push the tempo when Nashville heavy commits 1-2 people to finishing the checks on Quinn. This wasn't a huge issue in the regular season even against the best teams when they matched up. I think its a lot of nerves with this team's core not having a series under their belt, as well as huge expectations upon them. They look like they're playing not to loose a lot of the time, where they were more loose and free with their attack and play otherwise. It also could be that with Demko in net they felt more comfortable being aggressive and potentially giving up more shots in order to facilitate a quicker offense. With Silovs/DeSmith they don't have as much of a buffer on d as well as more importantly the confidence to allow them to take those risky agressive plays that they did throughout the season and made them the offensive juggernaut they are.

Hoping we get it done in game 6. Need Demko back if we want any sort of shot.

Interesting point about roster construction compensating. The 2012 kings couldn’t produce any significant offense but had Kopitar-Carter/Richards-Stoll and Richardson which allowed them to roll 4 lines of with 5 defensively sound centers that complimented the solid blue line and quick in net.

Quinn Hughes getting bullied? Tell that to Nucks Joshua who has been head hunting the Preds the entire series.

I highly disagree. Vancouver is playing a game their top defenseman cannot play up to. He’s clearly taken a beating that he would not need to if they did not play such a physical brand of hockey.

Comparing Hughes to Makar is not close. Hughes has more giveaways to takeaways at a -12, he commits more penalties then draws, he doesn't block shots, barely plays on the pk, and he cant single handlely take over a game like Cale can which hes shown on many occasions now. Plus hes smaller, slower, and a worse skater then Makar. And this isn't to hate on Hughes because hes shown massive improvement this season and is a huge part to Canucks success but he isn't in the same class as Cale. Tired of all the fan boying over this player anytime hes mentioned. The eye test says it all too. If Hughes wins the Norris its a pity award because he had 2 more points then Makar on the season but all the other intangibles should matter and Cale beats him in everything else a defensemen is suppose to do.
