Official Calder Thread 2019-2020

[Mighty Makar]

Yeah but Makar might catch up lol...

Hahahahaha

 

[Canucks LB]

Honestly this might be the funniest post in the thread.

Legit I love the sarcasm

Every Vancouver fan with a brain still has Cale as the clear front runner. But I think we can out to bed this silly idea that they aren't in the same tier. This is a 1A 1B situation and were happy our guy is 1B to a special player like Makar.

Somewhere, somehow, someone will still take offense to that no matter how genuine it may be.

You’re a cool HF guy everybody look

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Lots of hockey still to be played. Hughes in a small sample size looks to have cranked his play up to another level and has improved as the season goes on.
It's not over yet!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Should have had 3 points tonight.

On pace for 61 points as a 20 year old.

We’re over the moon about his play. He’s been a revelation and the single biggest reason we’re solidly in a playoff spot. I don’t think anyone expected these kinds of numbers. I’d have been happy with 38 points over a full 82 games, but we still have 30 to go.

Obviously Avs fans feel the same way about Makar, and rightfully so. Instead of detracting from each other’s prized rookies, we should be celebrating that we as fans have the opportunity to watch two incredible rookie defensemen dominate the scoring lead.

Whoever wins the Calder at the end won’t take any of the shine off of the runner up. They are both amazing and should be for years to come.

Makar's last 10 games - 8 points

Hughes just scored a goal, so woohoo I'm right he's projected to be 7 points ahead if he wasn't hurt

#MATH

I mean no, you're still wrong.


The answer is 8 points. But hey, you're closer!

Wrong.

If you are not first, you are last! /s

Hughes scored the OT winner

8-1 = 7 #MATH

 

[WiLBoY]

To me, it isn't even the points that impress me about Hughes. It's the way he handles the puck at the blue line and his skating ability.

Elusiveness.

He is a magician along the offensive line. He can look like he’s trapped with nowhere to go, and instantly do a quick pivot or spin to get himself free without missing a beat.

 

[AvsFan29]

I have Makar ahead, and I don’t think anyone seriously has Hughes leading this race, but it definitely is a race.

It’s the best race we’ve seen in years, and it’s unique because it’s between two insane Dmen. Can’t wait to see the point totals.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Hughes scored the OT winner

8-1 = 7 #MATH

Alright lets do this again because I know, Math can be hard.

37/41 = 0.902

.902 x 51 = 46.02

46.02 - 38 = 8



Understand?

Understand?

last 10 games makar 0.8, not 0.9

I don't see him holding up 0.9 for the next 10 games

 

[avsfan9]

I’m the biggest Makar fan, but right now Hughes is on another level. Every time Vancouver scores I expect his name to be on the scoresheet. Kid is dominating hockey games

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

His last 10 games literally have nothing to do with what his next 10 games will be.


You're not seriously this clueless right? Like come on.

we're contextualising what Hughes' 10 games advantage means in terms of point lead

You're basing it off a 0.9 pace from Makar and I'm basing it off of 0.8. It's ironic that you're saying his last 10 games have nothing to do with his next 10 whilst repeating that Makar has a hypothetical 8 point lead! LOL

 

[nucksauce]

As a hockey fan it's a real treat to witness this race.

As a canuck fan we already won a prize better than the Calder. In retrospect the Calder race wont matter as we FINALLY have impact on the blue line.

I give up. I honestly thought you were just joking at the beginning but you're not.... Wow this explains so much.

And 38 > 37.....

Admitting to defeat is a sign of good character and leadership

Avs boards are lucky to have you

 

[BigTruzz]

ONE YEAR YOUNGER!

This is funny cause ur whole point was about pace in this first place lol

Drawing a blank but when was the last time two dmen like Makar and Hughes broke into the league the same year?
