It's gotta be Draisaitl

I love being a spectator of Torts when he's on other teams but thought he was an absolute classless POS when he was coaching for the Canucks. Not starting Luongo at the Heritage Classic was treason. I'm not even that bothered that Luongo was traded after, I think it was kind of his time, but it just felt like such a stab in the back for everything he had given to the team to have to sit during that game, especially after management screwed with his head, making him think he was about to be traded, only to trade Schneider instead. Torts definitely has some Mike Babcock-like qualities in that he goes after players simply for the power trip. Im glad they canned his ass after one season, besides, I really don't think he's that great of a coach, atleast not in the modern era.

Hughes is amazing period .

I don't think half the ppl in the media actually watch hockey critically. We just get soap opera here.

This was a great video. I'm a Sabres fan and have been since the 90s when the only player with 89 on my jersey was Mogilny. This team has me so down, and the year they just missed the playoffs by a point had me excited for the next season. Only to be severely let down. Adams seemed to be a good GM, but since last summer and this season with a terrible lack of picking up players to fill roles they need (esp with buying out Skinners contract) should have made at least a full 2nd line of pick ups and not just fill out the 4th line. Saying Buffalo isn't a destination to most players is true, only because of the mismanagement he and Pegula has done. Teams and players see this. The team has a lot of talent but with the team only having that talent with maybe 2 or 3 years learning (and learning from others that also have 3 years or less than themselves) how can they be expected to improve? Zucker is the biggest surprise and they need at least another 1 or 3 role players with experience in their lineup. The only thing they did do right was send Levi to Rochester this season to learn. I feel bad for Lindy, they didn't even let him bring in his own assistant coaches.

After Quinn’s 2 goal performance tonight just adds more fuel to

Very informative 👏

I think some of it might come down to the fact that goals win games. It doesn’t matter if you out shot your opponent 40-10 if they score more goals than you. I’m the same sense it is more “beneficial” to the team for you to get a lucky goal than it is to have good advanced metrics but not get a goal. Having said all that I think there needs to be a bit of an overhaul to both the Hart and Norris trophy. (Maybe add a best defenceman award and make the Norris most points by a defenseman)

Cannot understate how much I appreciate this video. Perfectly vocalises my thoughts on Quinn and Vancouver this season. I also think the East coast bias plays a role in Quinn being overlooked in the Hart debate, it’s a problem in North American media that I even notice here in Australia. Well made video mate!

This f-ing pretender better get trader for spare parts or the fan base in yvr will burn down the city again

The Best Canuck??? I doubt it. He is very mediocre. Appallingly so....

The "MVP" isn't most impactful player of a team... The letter "V" is the key, Valuable. MVP goes to a player that draws the NHL the most views/revenue

How is this KID WORTH MORE THEN MILLER ? No wonder Miller is giving up why play anymore for peanuts 🥜 while a punk ass kid is getting treated like a Hockey 🏒 god and he can’t even skate or play. 11 Million a year ? Give me a Break that be the day I pay to go watch these guys play. Crazy a good team gone Bad.

This KID GOT LUCKY NOW HIS LUCK IS OVER …. $11 million? Someone has more money then brains 🧠 his DAYS ARE OVER ALREADY TRADE THE KID HES HOLDING THE CANUCKS BACK. ALSO TRADE Myers what a waist of ice time the guy loves sitting in the penalty box costing Canucks the Cup or play offs. Get these 2 OUT ASAP.

Hellebuyck all in bro The jets with im or without im has a way more big difference that Hughes with the Canucks

You have to make the playoffs to have a chance at the MVP...

After Kuch’s contribution to his team last year didn’t win him the Hart, the “to his team” argument is dead. That was possibly the hardest carry job of this millenium and nobody cared.

They gave the best defensemen award to a guy that was -26 so yes you are correct it’s all about points

If you are a playoff-caliber club, and your best player is a blueliner, then you always have a shot at getting to the Final.

Ironically, I think the way to fix this is to add a new trophy for the forwards. The Hart currently acts sort of like the Norris or Vezina for forwards, but if there was a Best Forward trophy for them to win, the Hart can really become about picking the most valuable player out of those three winners.

Nucks would be nada without Huggy... at least at the moment.

The Canucks are going nowhere, Hellebuyck is winning the Hart this year.

Excellent analysis.

With all due respect to centers I feel that most dynasties are built on the backs of their best defensemen: Lidstrom, Neidermayer, Hedman, etc... Not just because of how much time they spend on the ice but how much apparent influence they have on team success at both blue lines. I agree with all your points that defensemen deserve more Hart consideration, great job on the video!

Who cares if the team is not in contention?

Minus the Jets, yes.

This video is a masterpiece. More people need to see it. Especially the trophy voters!

You really touched on something important at the end. Buffalo is a passionate hockey market. When the Coyotes were bad, I didn't care much. But Buffalo Sabres fans do deserve so, so much better. The league is more fun when they're around and competitive. Plus, all of their current uniforms are sick as hell

Agreed. They undervalue defensemen. And for Hughes, part of it might be that he is on Vancouver, and they haven’t quite been competitive or flashy enough in the past few years to get as much attention as Edmonton, Colorado or Tampa. But yeah, Makar and Hughes are the top 2 d-men in the league and should at least be considered when talking about MVP.

great video btw, great effort. thx

Honesty nobody cares because Vancouver sucks.

Same thing with how defence don’t really get considered for the hart, I think more defensive defencemen should get considered for the Norris. I hate that the Norris just goes off which defenceman has the most points instead of who was actually the best all round defenceman.

The fact that he plays in the West doesn't help either.

The Kings spanked the Canucks last night with Hughes playing, but, in your defense, he was the only goal scorer for Vancouver in that game.

Insane production quality, amazing video

Unfortunately,-- setting aside the secondary recurrent talking point heaping praise on Quinn Hughes--that Central argument of this video is premised on poorly crafted arguments that don't hold up to the slightest scrutiny. Firstly, let's address the central claim that it is manifestly unjust that the NHL has so rarely awarded the Hart to a defenseman. . In response, I would arguethat it is insufficient to make that argument n the abstract without specifying in which specific seasons, which specific defensemen should have been awarded the Hart. Otherwise, without more, drawing conclusions by simply clunping and averaging seasons together, is analogous to considering a dish to be well cooked on average despite it being 1/2 frozen and 1/2 burnt. Second, after baselessly assuming the first argument, the video proceeds to provide an explanation that purports to account for this alleged historical bias, namely, by chalking it up to the historical unavailability of advanced stats up until recent years, thus rendering hockey writers historically blind and ignorant to the true value of defensemen, as revealed by advanced stats; and hence forcing them to rely only on traditional scoring stats, which favvour forwards. . However, even if one were to accept the premise that an unjust biased exists bias against defensemen, the rationale that purports to account for it is defeated by its own logic: That is, if the bias was truly due to the historical unavailability of advanced stats, then it is precisely in the past ~15 years that this bias should have disappeared! After all, now that the hockey writers have the benefit of the stats, they have been as genius as this Channel and finally realized the true benefit of defenseman, and voted them for the Hart. But that has not happened, and so it is a poor explanation for a bias that doesn't exist in the first place. In addition,, the video conveniently neglects to explain, let alone and point out, that over a 12-year period starting in 1932, the Hart was awarded to a D-man 8 times. Also, riddle me this: in 83--84, although Gretzky was awarded the Hart (for scoring over 200 pts) guess who the runner-up candidate was? It wasn't defenceman P Coffey who scored 40 G andv122 P, nor any of the other 11 players who scored over 100 ps that season. Rather it was a D-man, who ranked #214 in scoring with 33 P, i.e., Rod Langway. Seems like hockey writers and fans at the time understood the value of defensemen even before they had access to stats like PDO. But fundamentally, there are many other reasons to be skeptical of an unjust bias against defencemen. If it did exist , how does one account for pllayoff MVP, winners given that the Conn Smyth has been awarded to defensemen around a dozen times since the late 60s (including to S Savarrd, Orr, Robinson, Leetch, Niedermayer, McInnis, Hedman, S Stevens, Keith and Makar.)? Clearly, hockey writers were mindful of the value of d-men

Id agree but hes not carrying them to an actual playoff spot. Just a wild card

the same asshats ruining hockey are the same asshats ruining the music industry....and so on. when stupidity is the norm.....everything seems normal....to the stupid. good luck convincing them otherwise. (well, stupidity and greed.....cuz greed can keep feeding off of stupid)

Vancouver isn’t even in a playoff spot. 😂

Phenomenal breakdown, great stat spread and layout. Sad to see how heavily dependent we are on Hughes showing up

rooting for our boy Hutson! sry nucks fans, see you in the playoffs hopefully!

I agree, D men have the hardest job on the ice by far. This needs to be addressed.

It's bull shit

he left the lineup and were were shambles. Give this man his MVP

Bro I actually got it right 😂😂 I guess 4

Yeah this is a complete homer take. He isn't the best defenseman in the NHL. He also isn't the best player in the NHL. I see what your point is but nah dude. This take is off

Great video.
