Loved that emotion of Quinn. He's not like that at all. So when he does, it changes the mood. The Canucks came back to life at the 5 min mark of that 2nd period and had a great 3rd.
All the, small things
Rick Tocchet is born to be a coach. I don't want to take anything away from Mike Sullivan, but Tocchet was huge for the Pens when they won their back to back cups. I'm so happy he's found his way to Vancouver, and I love the success he's having there. Hell of a coach and should win the Jack Adam's this year
i dreaded the selection of tocchet, i knew it was comin' and i had a million assumptions about what kind of coach he was gonna be. i was thinking "we can't have another fucking bonehead that preaches overly simple, will-over-skill hockey - not with this roster." and damn, i couldn't have been more wrong, tocchet is saying and doing everything i've wanted from a coach since the days of AV.
Yet he struggled in Arizona where Tourigny seems to be thriving. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@bstar777777
Hard to be great everywhere you go. He’s still a great coach
@@bstar777777 it's almost like different coaches are better fits for different situations. Mind-blowing isn't it?
The TML game as his 82nd as coach. His record is 51-23-8. Just an unreal turnaround.
This is the first time I’ve seen Quinn this mad, so his emotions are valid. When I first saw that I had to double check if that was actually Quinn.
Loved the emotion shown by Quinn Hughes. Shows he really cares and wants to win. A great captain.
Just play the goddamn game you can show you care without acting like a child but he'll keep acting like it bc he's got all these ppl praising him there's a time to grow up and not throw tantrums
The fastest 30 wins in franchise history and leading the team by ice time (over 24min). Quinn Hughes really does put this team on his back and it's great to see him embracing his role.
Showed more emotion in that three seconds then Bo did his whole career.
Henrik too
Bo just said, "This is unacceptable." in his interviews when hockey games go sideways. And that's all folks!
I'll tell you that for free.
Don't compare Hank to Bo.
I think Bo had his issues, but that's not true. He used to spaz out and smash his stick on the boards or bash the bench door from time to time. It was in different scenarios though, like if he missed a shot or a chance. Personal frustrations, not like in this case where Hughes was pissed that they let it slip and Toronto managed to claw back.
Agreed. When a level headed guy like Quinn does something like that, it sends a message to the rest of the team that they need to do better. A lot of people were surprised that Hughes was made captain instead of Petey. But he’s proving time and time again that the Canucks made the right choice. Elias is an elite player, but I don’t think he would’ve been as good of a leader as him.
Edit: Yes. I know Elias didn’t wanna be captain, I never said he did. Idk where these replies are coming from lol
Pretty sure Elias is not the captain because he didnt want it
I always knew it wasn't because Petey couldn't. It was because he preferred not to deal with the media. Petey definitely would have done it should it have been thrust upon him.
Glad Quinn is there.
Elias is a great player, but he's not a leader. If not for Hughes, Miller would be the captain
Quinn was always the best choice, he is the most thoughtful and even tempered. Not to mention he was emerging as the leader at the end of last season, volunteering to speak to the fans and press. Petey struggles with English word finding a lot, also can be a bit moody with the press, not really Cap material. Don’t think he wanted it anyway. JT is capable but also mood variable though great in the community. The latter two make good assistant caps. Demko could have been cap but that is difficult for a goalie who needs to be focused as Luongo will attest.
I can appreciate that emotion from Hughes. He knows how good this team is and just wants everyone to play focused each shift. We've all been there before. Frustrated as heck on the bench, knowing how much better you could be. Great hockey game.
As a Habs fan, The Canucks have been superb all season, their team always works hard and everyone is chipping in to win. They are contenders this year no doubt about it.
When you watch Leafs post games where Marner, Keefe, etc make excuses and say how good their own team and play are after losses...then you watch how Miller, Hughes, and Tocchet will critique their own play after wins... you see the culture difference. Leafs blow a 4th lead in a row and Marner blamed the media for the negativity. Canucks won 5 in a row on their road trip and Tocchet and Miller criticized their details.
this right here
100%. And this is how you can sum up every single leafs post game interview: "yeah i thought we played a good game, some small mistakes that costed us the game but we're happy with how we played and it's unfortunate we couldn't get the 2 points today." ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. Like, did we build a losing culture in the locker room? How about a shift in tone for a change??
It’s getting funny to see the leafs saying “sure we lost but we did a lot of good things here today”. Like if you lost an odd one, sure. I think Toc said that we improved a lot after losing to Tampa early on after being shutout in Philly. But like buddy you’ve lost five (or however many) in a row, idk how you can stay that optimistic and say that a hard battling loss is better than an ugly two points.
If you actually watch the interviews with the Leafs players, they say the exact same rehearsed answers regardless of win or loss. They don't give anything up to the media like other teams do, they keep everything internal.
Well said, that is indeed very true.
The Canucks are now a team that isn't willing to just be happy to have won a game, they always are saying, what can we still do better.
And when they lose a game, they know exactly what went right or wrong and rarely do they the lose the next game.
What I see happening is that they have taken on a very strong identity and it's serving them very well. 😊
Watched this game, and i had so many mood swings the entire time
Emotion belongs to ice hockey. Quinn Hughes is a great player. And he scored a goal in this match.
Quinn smashing his stick against the boards like that reminds me of MacKinnon before he won his cup 😂
He's too weak to break his stick
@@andrewlindhe722 Didn't MacKinnon break his stick?
@@andrewlindhe722stronger than you will ever be😂
@janzkee I'm sorry I upset you miss,don't divorce your husband
@@andrewlindhe722 Calm down, sir.
I can't believe I am saying this as a Vancouver fan but the entire game I never doubted them. Even when the Leafs came back. Just belief that they're gonna find a way to win. Feels like 2010 again.
Never realized how sick the matte black lids are till now
Quinn Hughes reminds me so much of Scott Niedermeyer. Poised with the puck, skinny and not the most beefiest, and excellent calm leadership.
100% i think out of any dman in the past he compares to scott the most. Though tbh i still think quinn is already a better version
@@shreksswamp1182 I would agree that Quinn has a higher ceiling in terms of offensive production, but man, niedermeyer was a defensive stalwart. Plus I give the edge to Niedermeyer in terms of leadership as of right now, since it's Q's first year as the captain
@@jlee222ballin Had Niedermayer played for a different team in a different era he could have put up the big points. He had the ability. But remember he was playing for the Devils in the lowest scoring era in modern NHL history, and had to play in their system. Let's say you switched teams with Niedermayer and Brian Leetch, both great players and about equal to each other in talent, and Nidermayer would have been putting up the 80-90 points and Leetch would have been playing the Devils style with the numbers Niedermayer put up.
@@RRaquello yup i don't doubt that. The Devils did play a very stymy defense. I think based on the eye test though, Quinn is more creative with the puck and lots of change of gears on offense.
We all liked it, doesn’t need any explanation, Quinn does what we need
Hughes had every right to be pissed off about the second period. Pretty sure either he or Tocchet gave them a nice speech during intermission.
That right there is passion from Quinn, he has no need to apologize to anyone.
Nice, I didn't notice the frustration by Hughes, normally very stoic, but like you said, showing some emotion and frustration wakes up your teammates sometimes.
Let’s go Captain Quinn 🫡
Loved Tocchet’s grit as a player and it’s pretty clear he’s instilling that in his team, too. He’ll be a HOF coach when he retires, for sure.
Hoglander, Garland and Nylander. Funny convenience the 2 goal players happen to have Land in their surname
The Celto-Germanics getting it done, as always.
I'm a huge fan of Hughes. Love the way he moves and plays
Quinn Hughes is a very quiet, quality player. He’s not heavily covered in the media but he’s a key player apart of the Canucks. He’s well rounded, and he provides amazing defensive coverage, while still providing additional support in the offensive zone. He’s exactly what younger kids should look at for a role model if you’re going to play the game.
That’s my captain right there😌
Quinn Hughes is such a major part of this teams turn-around from last year. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of things that played into the Nucks being an elite team this year, but as a Hughes fan, I really hope they go deep in the playoffs this year (if not win the cup) cause damn he's deserving of lifting that cup.
The coaching and emotion we needed. This is a great post, good to see the Canucks be so resilient and focused.
The fact they scored both PP goals in the third the exact same way, with one minute nine seconds remaining on both PPs is quite astonishing.
He’s our hero right now, best quarter back we could’ve asked for
That is definitely the most fired up I've ever seen Quinn
You nailed it. Showing your emotions and frustration is a powerful thing... and to me this showed that Quinn knows WHEN to use that to wake up his team, instead of it being a distraction or a detriment to the team. That said, it's easy for us fans to praise every decision when the team is winning, but I really do think this guy is perfect captain material... and I think JT Miller needs just as much credit for learning and playing to his strengths for the benefit of the team this year as well.
A great video!! I love Quinn Hughes' leadership!!!!!
I've seen a lot of people commenting on Hughes out burst but none of it has been anything negative. I think most fans across the league knows he is level-headed and tries to keep his emotions close to his chest.
This is my favorite hockey channel on UA-cam. Excellent editing, and your voice is clear and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!
woulda loved to have been a fly on the wall in the dressing room during the 2nd int 😭
2:09 thats a fantastic freeze frame 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
"Come all without, come all within. You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn" ~ Manfred Mann
I love this as much as I loved Jamie Benn snapping 3 straight sticks on the bench.
The Garland stick twirl / sheathed sword celly? One of the best this year 😆
In the Canucks highlight package from the game they added sound effects to the celly and it made it even better! Definitely watch that if you haven't. I loved it.
I sat next to a leafs fan during that game. I learned so many new words that day.
summary: 1st line 2 goals. 3rd line 2 goals. 4th line 2 goals. if we can get someone to bolster the 2nd line it would be a serious contender.
Kuz, Suter and Mik are the 3rd line and they were pointless. Wouldn’t worry too much, either Kuz pulls the lead out and starts scoring or the Nucks trade him for someone that can.
Well some players really shine, come play off hockey. Kuz for some games was scoring the first goal in some previous games, then got benched.
@@chrisdouglas6119 Kuz is getting like 5m a game i doubt he will be able to do shit....
JT school of showing frustration re Quinn..this team now understand what it takes and I keep saying we have not yet seen their best hockey..it is coming together and I doubt they sit on their good season so far...they are being tested now more as other teams face them and adjusting their game to what it will take to succeed in the playoffs...
Amazing video. This guy deserves lots of subs
Wait, Sheldon Keefe is still the coach of TOR? I can't
They won’t fire him. Takes courage.
I just don't get it. If Toronto was showing progress in addressing some of their issues, then okay, but they aren't. Against Vancouver. They didn't start on time. They had really terrible defensive breakdowns. He doesn't make adjustments. The players aren't accountable under him. At some point they have to willing to make a change behind the bench because Toronto is running the risk of falling out of the playoffs.
@@darthvader3742 The Leafs are Edmonton lite. They have no goaltending. It was 3-0 on 6 shots in the 1st. Then 6-4 on 21 shots total. Not saying their systems etc. don't need improvement, but if they want to get anywhere they need to trade one of those big 4 contracts for a goalie and some pieces...
@@troubleondemand7703 I've seen Vancouver outscore many teams with far fewer shots all season. I wouldn't blame it all on the goaltending.
Crazy thing is one of their best goal scorer kuzmenko from last year haven’t done anything yet
Even Petey's not quite up to last year's form. Those of us who've been watching them for a few years have all been saying the same thing through this incredible run they're having: there's A LOT more potential in this team. They may not be able to do much in the playoffs this year because of their obvious lack of playoff experience, but over the next year or two if they can manage to instill their systems and details even more so in every player while still improving every area of their game and steady all of their players to be the best performing versions of themselves, the team will fire on all cylinders and people are then going to see just what a monster the 'Nucks have been quietly building.
how badly he wants it im all for it GO CANUCKS GO
I was at that game and Hoglander signed my hat
I loveeeeeeee Hughes. He is one of the best players that the Canucks have ever had. Full player, offence, defence, leadership. Class act. He has it all
Hughes, Pettersen, Millere and Demko are among the greatest Canucks ever. This team really is stacked.
@@danielpatterson5189I’m praying for a huge game from Hughes, Petterson, and Miller tomorrow to send the Oilers packing
This is what the Canucks are about. I knew there was a reason I made the choice to go with these guys, and the rest of my family are Toronto Fans.
Toronto has another game against Seattle tonight, time to see if the Maple Madmen can actually rally and bring themselves back together and recover. A loss to the Kraken would be devastating to Team Morale.
Oh Captn’ my Captain
Those Nuck throwback dudes are the business…
Hoglander has bee a stud all year long!
How the leafs haven't figured out you need a decent goaltender and competent defense yet is beyond me. They really think they can go all the way with just fire power? That Nylander contract really sealed the deal. They're not doing anything anytime soon.
They had one. He went cold. They had another one - he got hurt. Now they're playing their 3rd string guy trying to buy time for the other 2 to figure it out and/or get healthy. As for the D, they haven't really been that bad all things considered except for the pk
@@clapshowX they blow a ridiculous amount of leads. That's the kind of things teams with bad defence do.
Canucks and Crocket what a talented pair, from commentator to head coach I am sure the organization have been studying Crocket for a while before the offer and I like his style.
But seriously, that was a fun game... Kept 'em around to keep it competitive for a while, then, BIG BOYS come calling, and HAMMER DOWN! 28-0-1 when leading after 2... not bad 😎
6 goals on 21 shots is nutso
canucks all had way better chances throughout the game. Look at the shot chart, vans shots were mostly all in the middle while the leafs shots were mostly all on the outside on terrible angles. tbf tho with how both of willies goals went in i don't blame the leafs for just throwing everything on net
what a logo! looks great why did they change it again?
Love Quinn’s passion!!!!
love your vids keep it up
i was at this game, electric i was a leafs fan and u heard more go leafs go than vancouver cheering
I'm a Kings fan living in Metro Vancouver. I've been the biggest Canucks critic forever, but I honestly believe that Quinn has been the best captain by far this season.
Not sure if this is the best example of a good game by the Canucks. They've had a few games like this this season. At the point where Hughes gets mad, they're getting outshot 21-11. The ended up getting outshot and outworked heavily to the tune of almost 50-20, but capitalizing on the chances they had. The Canucks are a great and well rounded team, but this game is a good example of what the haters think of when they say what they think the Canucks are about this year.
I agree a little bit but what you're missing is that this is also a team that bends sometimes but almost always when they really need to they clutch up and get it done. No matter who they are playing. A lot of teams maybe even most would have lost that game the way things were going but instead they find a way. And this happens enough times to show it isn't an anomaly.
Leafs stacked 14 shots at the end with a 6-4 and 6-3. It wouldnt have been much a difference. Canucks stop shooting when they are up by 2 or more goals because they can play the defence for that
POLL: who wins the Hart:
- Nikita Kucherov
- Nathan MacKinnon
- Quinn Hughes
- Connor Hellebuyck
If things keep going the way they are, MacKinnon is going to run away with it.
Growing up in the Vancouver area, I have to say, Victoria is such an underrated city. It doesn't have the same amenities as Vancouver, obviously, but it's still a beautiful, somewhat old school city. I remember when I came here 3 years ago, I was told not to go down to Pandora Avenue because it was supposedly, in parts, like the equivalent of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. As someone who worked down there, Victoria's "skid row" is nothing compared to the mainland. It's at least somewhat clean and while there are street people, it's not even close to the same extent as Vancouver. If anything, it's East Van. Nothing particularly dirty or scary.
and full of tree hugging liberals ruining canada
As a leafs fan we need to play better This year gg vancover fans
Toronto vs Vancouver in the cup final, come on man!
As a leafs fan there is no way this team is getting past the first round unless we make some major changes by the deadline
The leafs are not a cup contender
coming from a leafs fan myself This team Dosent look like a stanley cup Contender Vancouver Edmonton and Winnipeg have a better chance of contending for the cup than Toronto. Unfortunately
@TheSpiggle33 I think you guys just need a couple more 5 year, 10 mil per contracts and then you'll be good
@bronzeandsteel3344 there's a goalie in my beer league and a couple dmen available
Leafs players don’t show that emotion or care enough in the first place and that’s why this Toronto team will never win a Stanley cup.
Love this video!!! #gocanucksGOOO
Sheldon, no time out but your counterpart thought it was warranted, losing a 3 goal lead.
Funny happened after that the Vancouver Canucks scored 3 more goals yes allowed the Leafs to score another goal.
But they scored two more after that and won the game.
Even killed a penalty against 6 players !!
Leafs in 6 games in which they squandered the leads never were able to come back and win any of those games.
Quinn emotional display on the bench was very different than Travares Mathews Marner Riellys . Look at the tablet or score board head down look out into space
I do not like the Toronto Maple Leafs. I don’t even know why it might be their fans are obnoxious as hell
I attended this game lower bowl seats and I am going to say you got it wrong. Quinn showing emotion and being angry on the bench was because Domi cross checked him hard in the corner. Quinn went straight to the bench and was mad because he was in pain I'm guessing. Also Leafs tied the game 3-3 and then 5 mins later Quinn got mad on the bench right after Domi's cross check to his arm. So in a way your video might be wrong.
The Hughes fam are captains Quinn’s a captain and Jack is an alternate captain and Luke’s a future captaincy role.
If we somehow don’t sign petey I’ll be crushed
Petey for Bedard
Good on the Canucks for not folding after the Leafs rallied. I think during the 2nd intermission, someone reminded the Canucks players that the Leafs really aren’t very good.
Hoglander is such good bang for the buck. Scores every once in awhile and only cost a million.
Something Horvat never did and needed to. Hughes is another level Captain then what we have had in the past.
"i love the celebration stick twirl and holster... so smooth". i don't think a g4yer thing has ever been said about a sporting event.
i loved it.
Goat Hughes
Yea that garland celly was off the hook
1:53 When Nylander scores, Leafs are 13-1-3. I suppose he picked a bad day to score?
Can the Canucks just make that their permanent jersey? It’s so good and I’m a Hawks fan.
I want emotion back like Scott Stevens. I’m scared to even write his name 😅
Actually this was a Picasso… messed up looking but still a work of art. lol.
I gotta be that guy for a sec...
But we all know that if one of the Leafs top players did something like this everyone would be ranting about how unhinged and unprofessional they are regardless of the circumstances.
I agree, I love when players wear their heart on their sleeve for a bit, but I just find that little bit of context funny.
I always think it's funny when people say something "isn't a Picasso" like his paintings look conventionally beautiful instead of like a bunch of bent up, jumbled, chaotic nightmare fuel.
I wish the leafs showed this much passion
Jets Canucks conference Final
Hughes is a culture changer
Oh, Captain, my Captain! #43
She Quinn show he hates to lose. Leafs unfortunately lose and then state how good they played
Gotta love sports reporting, if the Canucks blew that game EVERYONE would be shitting on Hughes today.
48-21 shots holy shit
are you going to talk about the oilers and flames game?
Why? This is a video about Hughes and the canucks.
@@finneganfly he's a flames fan so i was wondering
Baby stop everything Johnny Hawkey uploaded
Ngl I prefer those red, yellow, and black jerseys over the Canucks' current ones.
If Rick Tochet doesn't win coach of the year it's rigged. He's the only really big change on the Canucks and they have gone from a mess to the absolute powerhouse of the league. It's one of the most unbelievable turnarounds I've ever seen.
I wouldn't say there haven't been big changes to the roster and management, bringing in Foote and Gonchar as Assistant Coaches, basically an entirely revamped d core and bottom 6 and not to mention solid backup goaltending. Like a cooking, it takes a good chef to put all the ingredients together and make them work, which is where Tocchet shines. He is a good communicator and is able to get his point across in a way the team can understand and buy into, that is huge
Who cares if Hughes got mad, he’s a class act player.
Crazy how badly the Canucks are outplayed on a regular basis but still winning, it will catch up with them eventually.
Doesn't matter if they get outplayed as long as they can clutch up and close the game on a win, their resiliency is off the charts this season, they bend but rarely break
If shooting weak shots from the outside is outplayed then the canucks outplayed bruins in game 7, but it doesnt work like that. Quality over quantity.
