We better hope it's before somebody Jackknifes him on one of those turns.
Yes, I used that stupid pun on the prospects board, but it's so bad I had to use it again.

Yeah, but you can find any minority of a fanbase doing dumb shit. You guys do the same exact thing, so let's not even go there.
What we CAN all agree with is the absolutely bizarre behavior of the Finnish contingent. I was arguing with them pre-lottery about this stuff. It's so weird. Forced nationalism is strange.

Also, does anyone remember the Laine vs. Matthews debates as well? Another area of this weird, forced nationalism from the Finnish fanbase. So this has been going on for a while.
I'm thinking the angry Finns probably averaged 15 years of age. It's hard to stay mad at children. They'll mellow as they age.

All our memes started with someone actually being serious that Jack wasn’t any good due to wide turns or playing against men.
↑I apologize but I do not know how to insert a Post from another Thread in another manner yet. I'll try to figure it out, but in the meantime:
Reading this article had the effect of both sadness as well as pride in how much a lot of the Canucks fans remember Mr. Schneider. I really hope that he has the historical "bounce back" season now that his hip surgery is 2 years in the rearview mirror (Thank you Pearl Jam).
Anyway, I know this is a Hughes Thread so I'll further my thoughts that I really respect the approach of NJ's Management to utilize their on-ice leaders to facilitate the development of their prospects in a wholistic manner. On ice skill is one thing - Life skill is even more critical IMHO.
Best of luck this season from the West Coast.
Cheers
Should certainly benefit Hughes this season:
Why Devils’ No. 1 pick Jack Hughes is living with teammate Cory Schneider
Long-suffering Canucks fan coming in peace. Trading away Cory is one of the many shameful acts our team has committed since 1970, possibly in the top 10 (I realize this may be hotly contested as the Orca have many options to choose from).Why Devils’ No. 1 pick Jack Hughes is living with teammate Cory Schneider

Canucks seem a bit hamstrung by heir management at times but appear to be moving in the right direction. Older Hughes and Petterson are two big steps in the correct direction. Hopefully the two teams meet in the finals in a couple of years.

Seriously though, thanks for the positive feedback & understanding. Similar to Jack, you appear to be a dual threat

Love your username.
Credit goes to my grandchildren. They came up with it when they read clickbait articles stating that redheads were genetically doomed. I've always told my children (now adults) that I have done my part (3 Ginger daughters - you're welcome), it's now on them to overcome the oddsLove your username.
To keep this Thread on track, I’m guessing that Jack will father at least one Ginger Devil offspring. Possibly 2

I thought you created that username in honor of our own Ginger....Cory Schneider.
Ginger Papa is in the house, Mr. Mustache.
That's what happened.

I don’t care what they say, your fan base is fun. Really excited to watch Jack this year.

Jesus, it makes me feel really old to know that there are guys born in the 2000s who will be playing in the league next year.

Yeah, no kidding. What's worse is seeing a few guys my age starting to retire. Like Eric Gryba.

He needs to sheltered by playing with strong linemates. He needs to be playing with Hall or moved to wing to start and play with Zajac.
How many more games till Hynes finally tries Hughes on wing with zacha at center?

He should at least put him with some wingers who can drive the play before trying anything like that. So far Hughes has been expected to be the play driver, which is insane and terrible management.
