i get why they would want to limit hughes a bit but not having him on pp1 just seems wrong.

hopefully, he gets moved up quickly and this is just another situation like bb getting scratched the first couple games of his career.

that was a poor decision as well. green gonna green though (and i'm sure the higher ups agree or can't/won't talk him out of these questionable decisions.)

It won't be long before Green has shuffled everything around and Hughes is on PP1.

They obviously aren't stupid men, but it's possible that they are out of their element in their positions at the NHL level. Look at WD, the guy has been a coach for a long time, yet he deployed a 1-2-3-4 line strategy with no line matching and playing his bottom 6 too many 5v5 minutes. The Kings literally hired him as their tank commander because he was that rare combination of respected, but not good


He's probably a decent AHL/WHL coach, but his mentality just wasn't cut out for the NHL.

So it was a total fluke that WD led a non-playoff team to a 103 point season and PO's?

Is that the general “your” or are you specifically referring to me?
- NewYorkNuck

most definitely the general your and not specifically aimed at you. i was going to edit it to be more clear after i read it but left it alone.

glad that you got me to clarify to avoid the misunderstanding.

His strategy was actually decent for keeping everyone fresh during the season, but the fact he stuck to it in the playoffs was hilarious.

Also, that was the last season of the Sedins being legit stars so that definitely helped WD.

Both coaches have wet dreams about winning a game 1-0

But at the same time both teams suck defensively so it’s gonna be interesting

He stubbornly play that Sbieska disaster pairing 20 minutes per night in that series. I think I read somewhere they they were on the ice for at least half of the Flames goals. The same amount as the other 2 pairings combined, including one featuring Yannick Weber

Anyone defending that man after that playoff series should feel shame.

His hockey mind is almost as sharp as his jawline.

I expect after the stress of this season, Green’s going to be nice and plump. Definitely a candidate for Team Bloated.

It's such a ridiculous thought to just stick Hughes on PP1 with no experience instead of the guy with over a decade of experience who had a pretty solid year last year offensively
- NorthNuck

Its pretty absurd. Hughes can wait 20 games for (frank)sakes
