Lol ok. The reason for the drastic difference in a 64% cf player and a 35% cf player is that one is playing the Stanley cup favourites? got it. I mean Dallas is outscoring Vegas in these playoffs but Vegas has better odds at winning the cup on your pro line so that makes up the difference.
Cool. Here's the beauty of the internet though. I'm able to look up stats against the Knights alone. Against Vegas this year Hughes has a CF% of 39. Makar against Vegas has a CF% of 68. That's playoffs and regular season combined.
Why am I comparing regular season to post season? To continue on with how ridiculous all your responses are lol. After you saw those stats of their on ice impact in these playoffs I was shocked when you came back with a "quality of competition" post and it actually seemed like you were serious so I proved more. Then you came back pumping up the Blues so I used Dallas as a measure and that still wasn't good enough even though they're an absolute force.
Your comparison of Dallas and Vegas aged well. The fact that the Avalanche have a bit more high end talent is the only argument you have? Not Makar or Hughes fault who they are playing with. Eye test shows who has been playing better as well. Makar was dominant all playoffs. Hughes was dominant for awhile then got hammered and exposed for some time against Vegas. The difference in offense is not huge, but Makar's defensive play is easily much better.
Injured knee and ankle? Really? Where is there proof of this? So hypocritical since the main argument Hughes fans use to say he deserves the Calder is that Makar lost games due to being injured. Now the excuse that he was playing hurt? Talk about BS! You don’t think most players had some injuries during the playoffs and still played through them. Makar was injured just prior to season starting up too. No one made excuses for his play yet the second Hughes play dips of course he must be injured. Same as Boeser . I watched almost all the Canucks games and can’t believe any one could argue Hughes was not terrible defensively for stretches . You are free to have your own opinion. My opinion is Hughes is brutal against the cycle. He has a decent stick and closed gaps well against attacking forwards but he is also overmatched physically quite often. Posters like you also claim plus minus has little meaning but it shows relatively how well one is playing on ones team. Again Makar huge plus and Hughes minus in playoffs. I actually believe eye test means the most and my eyes tell me Hughes is a poor defensive player deep in his zone when other team has the puck. Sorry if you can’t handle that opinion.
I doubt anybody even knows this, alone let it be the only thing they remember lol.
Well attached to Q Hughes top scoring achievement In the regular season is that he became one of three rookie dmen to win the rookie scoring title in the last 80 years with the other two being HHOF .
Everythings been rehashed to this point except what's happened lately and that's that Hughes out pointed Makar once again in the playoffs rookie scoring race.
