@@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.
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. Excellent video!
It boils down to the fact that more money is generated for the league if an American team goes deep in the playoffs over a Canadian one, the game is called completely differently for Makar and Hughes.
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

@@RobTalksHockeyI was originally like “wtf” when i saw the sponsor, but seeing the reason why makes it a lot easier to swallow. I hope you’re able to keep making dope videos!
So many Hughes haters here that dont even watch Canucks games 😂 Hughes has been great all series, barely ever makes defensive mistakes and doesnt shy away from anything. Its easy to look like the best defenseman in the world when you have Nathan Makinon up front, the scoring depth and experience that Colorado has. Makar isn't even the 2nd best player on the team right now 😂
Seriously, this comment section is so frustrating 😂 tell me you haven’t looked at stats without telling me. Hughes is better in almost every category this season, and even the ones he’s not are super close.
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.
Nashville is just following standard operating procedure. Big part of Canucks offense flows through Hughes. If we make it past the 1st round, we'll face the same game plan. Coaching staff need to consider pairing Huges with Zadorov. Sure, not his strong side but capable. I'd like to see: Hughes Zadorov Myers Hronek Soucy Cole
@randombutrelevant1606 I agree. Hughes can struggle and produce magic in a blink of an eye, example breaking Nyquists ankles on the game 4 tying goal. Myers has been passable this season when he's not tasked to do too much but we need a legit top 4 with size.
@@RobTalksHockey I like how Brendan Morrison talked about it on a podcast, how the players play differently when they know Demko is in net. I know Silovs & Desmith are capable, but when they know Demko is there to play like a superstar they're willing to take more risks and get more offensive pressure going. I think having Demko back will help the mental psyche of the team a lot.
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.
Chris Tanev being kicked to the curb was the dumbest thing Jimbo ever did. Hughes would have been where is now 2 years ago with a steady guy like Tanev as his partner Chris Tanev would be absorbing all the hits and still move the puck or get it out. The guy blocks shots with his face.
He has been equally as good as he is now it’s just that the team around him was ridiculously bad so the outlook around him and the team was overall bad
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.
A lot of bandwagon fans cause the city literally has nothing else to cheer for (I say this as a Canucks fan living in the city). It’s frustrating seeing so many braindead comments on social media that bring nothing but negativity
Yeah man many don't watch outside their series I heard one guy say that the Preds are much more physical then the Oilers when in reality they have less hits per game.
Makar was in the playoffs experience since a rookie. Petey and Hughes, it's a first-time being in a real playoff atmosphere with fans, and teams are going harder against them and trying now, unlike in the bubble a lot of NHL looked like they didn't even try.
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.
LFG game 6 Robbie! Way to go on the sponsor too. Love it. We are back for a visit on May 25, hopefully we are still in the fight! Hope to see you soon. Cheers!
@@golfer435it has way more to do with where the players are from, teams with a ton of canadians mKes it far. Teams like the canucks with like what 2 canadians... tend to suck in the playoffs. Almost always the team with the most canadians wins the cup
do you really think negative media is gonna make him play better? If anything the medias the reasons he’s been doubting himself and not playing aswell, y’all need to look at the stats, guys above point per game in his whole career, chill the fuck out and watch a game
Sold my first house. My Fiancé and I wanted to experience living downtown Calgary while she was finishing university. The Alberta housing market is better than other places in Canada, but it’s still brutal out here
Ah yes let’s just ignore Makar and Duncan Keith. Both guys under 6 foot who lead every special team their teams had and did it well enough to win a Conn Smythe. People always point size out as a knock on great players, but plenty of smaller players have lit up the league and won big. We are in an era of speed, and Quinn Hughes is definitely fast and slippery.
They are still young. They have a couple years of strength building until I write them off as "soft". Pettersson can't stay on his feet, but he's been throwing hits
GREAT video! There are always exceptions to "the rule". Roster construction CAN compensated for weaknesses. Also there is no perfect team. Everyone has weaknesses. That's why the NHL is a league of parity. No one knows who's going to win the Cup each year. It's a battle, a war to win Lord Stanley's Cup. Final comment...GO CANUCKS GO!
love these vids. you should make a vid in the offseason breaking down trades and hockey business and what makes a good trade or a bad trade. Also a basic systems breakdown
They wont because they only care about his plus and minus stat lol. Besides points he gets, he's a very mediocre defenseman When it comes to defense. He's gotten better, but he's not in cales class. When you're compared to bobby, orr you're not like other players...
@Nate-vq8wy Amen brother...sometimes I have to smack myself so I'm reminded that I am once again witnessing true greatness. At 56, I also was blessed to watch the Great one. Not to mention he plays for my team this time😀
Of course the question for vancouver has always been can they handle the increased physicality in the playoffs. We dont have an answer yet but we have seen declining production from peterssen and hughes which is not the best. But it is the playoffs and others have to step up.
They go after Quinn to impact his ability to outskate the other teams players…..essentially they’re trying to injure him which is bogus. He shown he’s a player and tougher than people think. Go Canucks close em out today!
Can’t respect selling your sole for your dream. Good video otherwise. Get rid of the betting ads. I know the money is good, but dude, you gotta consider your ethics here.
The two player hits should be a penalty for 3rd man in. That second guy is always a late hit...I get its the playoffs but when youre calling weak cross checks where preds players are diving(Forsberg) on the canucks you gotta call these late two man hits against Hughes when hes not even diving after getting slammed by two players. Very inconsistent reffing.
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.
Well the title really had nothing to do with the video... Just going to put it out there though. If he can't take the punishment, maybe Hughes should go play baseball instead.
@@AlexandrawOfficial_Lexi bro when a profile picture is of a chicks snatch or titties, it’s a bot. I don’t give two shits about what people think about Hughes.
Something I haven’t seen many people bring up is Makar’s reverse hit when he decides to not dodge people coming for him. It’s heavy and he’s shown it time and again in the playoffs the past three years. It’s almost guaranteed he shows it again at some point this year. Also, honest question. Does Hughes even do reverse hits? I don’t remember seeing them when I’ve caught the occasional canucks game.
Personally even though Vancouver has the talent to go on a deep run, having hard times in scoring against a wildcard team says otherwise. Not to mention the lack of dictation of play as Nashville purely dictates that. And really they should be down in the series based on the way the play and the Lucky comeback in game 4. This series goes 7 Nsh wins in OT.
True, it's been concerning. But keep in mind, Nashville from February to the last game went on a terror. They were a top team in the league in the final stretch
@@RobTalksHockey Yes will that is true, In my mind there are many different teams better than Nsh in the west that are going to give Vancouver way worse problems
Nashville isn't exactly your typical WC team, they were only behind Colorado as the best team in the league from the All Star Break on. After a 5-10-0 start they were on pace for 109 points in the last 67 games.
The NHL playoffs r just absolute madness really!? It gets so intense and refs let more go than they do in regular season, but also r downright terrible at times and they'll call the weakest of things one min then let guys get away with murder the next!? It can get nuts!!?? And the speed of the game and skill of players, on all teams, make matchups so close most of the time that it can get absolutely nuts at times cuz anything can happen at any time in any series and the crazy back and forth play gets crazy cuz every play means SO MUCH!!!?? Most games its edge of ur seat action!!? Thats one of many reasons y i love hockey and think its the best sport!!?? Love playoff hockey!! Go Bruins!!
@@RobTalksHockey We did the same as you guys did for Quinn the rest of our DCore besides Reinbacher there are quite a few other big size defensive players as well.
I think he’ll be good as soon as he learns that reverse hit. He’s got the balance and skating ability to do it. Edit: I should say better, he’s already a great player.
Gotta get that 5'10 body in front of the puck a bit more accurately than a bigger one. Also, if you can put some velocity behind that body and ram it into somebody, they will feel it. Gotta remember Nathan Gerbe 😂
LOL! Georgiev is indeed a true #1 goalie AND LEAD the NHL in wins with 38 while playing 63 games…only Saros started more games at 64!!!! Vegas despite not having a 100 point player have arguably the strongest 4 line skill depth in the NHL. Having 11 players scoring atleast 38 points…that’s like 4 lines of basically 40 point players!!! Terrible takes on this channel! Do you even follow hockey bro? 😂😂😂

not if they make through this round. Oilers probably wont target the same way.
@@matthewbarry7026 You're crazy if you think Kane and Perry aren't going to be doing the exact same thing.

Something I haven’t seen many people bring up is Makar’s reverse hit when he decides to not dodge people coming for him. It’s heavy and he’s shown it time and again in the playoffs the past three years. It’s almost guaranteed he shows it again at some point this year.
Also, honest question. Does Hughes even do reverse hits? I don’t remember seeing them when I’ve caught the occasional canucks game.
Personally even though Vancouver has the talent to go on a deep run, having hard times in scoring against a wildcard team says otherwise. Not to mention the lack of dictation of play as Nashville purely dictates that. And really they should be down in the series based on the way the play and the Lucky comeback in game 4. This series goes 7 Nsh wins in OT.
True, it's been concerning. But keep in mind, Nashville from February to the last game went on a terror. They were a top team in the league in the final stretch
@@RobTalksHockey Yes will that is true, In my mind there are many different teams better than Nsh in the west that are going to give Vancouver way worse problems
thing is that nashville isn't even a bad team.onlt reason they are wildcards and not higher is because they didn't get their stuff together sooner
Nashville isn't exactly your typical WC team, they were only behind Colorado as the best team in the league from the All Star Break on. After a 5-10-0 start they were on pace for 109 points in the last 67 games.
@@golfer435wrong. Oilers had the best record in that span
The NHL playoffs r just absolute madness really!? It gets so intense and refs let more go than they do in regular season, but also r downright terrible at times and they'll call the weakest of things one min then let guys get away with murder the next!? It can get nuts!!?? And the speed of the game and skill of players, on all teams, make matchups so close most of the time that it can get absolutely nuts at times cuz anything can happen at any time in any series and the crazy back and forth play gets crazy cuz every play means SO MUCH!!!?? Most games its edge of ur seat action!!? Thats one of many reasons y i love hockey and think its the best sport!!?? Love playoff hockey!! Go Bruins!!
If the Canucks defense is so good why they gettin crowned by Trashville😂😂
I feel my Quinn Hughes cards losing value
Haha. I wouldn’t worry, a Norris win will help that. I have his FWA PSA10
You've gotta suck it up tomorrow.
Look alive hughes hahahaha eat your wheaties bud
How DARE YOU want to better your life when giving such great hockey content online....shame shame is your middle name!
Meanwhile Makar skating away or using the spinorama to avoid hits 😂
Umm.. Makar is a small #1 dman who won the cup
Move to northern Alberta then you can afford a house 😏 and we will welcome you with open arms
I’m currently central AB, so I’m pretty close haha
@@RobTalksHockeyIf you’re ever in Grande Prairie give me a shout 😉 by the way you’re by far my favourite nhl content creator. Best in the business
Bro It’s the playoffs. Get used to it
We are going to have the same problem in Montreal with Lane Hutson if he actually becomes a league superstar like he is anticipated to be.
For sure, but having a guy like Reinbacher will really help
@@RobTalksHockey We did the same as you guys did for Quinn the rest of our DCore besides Reinbacher there are quite a few other big size defensive players as well.
Disagree. He doesn't get bullied.
I think he’ll be good as soon as he learns that reverse hit. He’s got the balance and skating ability to do it.
Edit: I should say better, he’s already a great player.
Bro, a prime Brad Marchawn
Gotta get that 5'10 body in front of the puck a bit more accurately than a bigger one. Also, if you can put some velocity behind that body and ram it into somebody, they will feel it.
Gotta remember Nathan Gerbe 😂
LOL! Georgiev is indeed a true #1 goalie AND LEAD the NHL in wins with 38 while playing 63 games…only Saros started more games at 64!!!! Vegas despite not having a 100 point player have arguably the strongest 4 line skill depth in the NHL. Having 11 players scoring atleast 38 points…that’s like 4 lines of basically 40 point players!!! Terrible takes on this channel! Do you even follow hockey bro? 😂😂😂
Hmmm 🤔
What a dumb title, good video though🎉
My man has been getting bullied which has impacted his game :/
dont you have a city to loot?
Just touched down in Tomato town
You would think no an all star goalie wouldn’t change your game? That guy was an idiot.
Cute dog!
I love your vids
Vancouvers D core are either Avs wanna bes or Avs rejects…
I'd be happy to see Vancouver get the cup, good luck guys
Great video
Comparing Makar to Hughes is like comparing a cheetah with a gazelle
Both are fast, one though is a predator and the other dinner
You have literally never watched hockey and it is obvious.
The Hughes girls on the devils are even softer.
