On Saturday night in Vancouver, the Canucks were somewhat soundly outplayed in the opening 20 minutes but managed to come out of the first period thanks to some misses at the goal mouth from Tom Wilson, Matt Roy and Lars Eller and thanks to one of the most absurd individual offensive efforts you’ll see all season from a blueliner.

Quinn Hughes was the name on everyone’s lips this past weekend, and for good reason. He more or less singlehandedly defeated the top team in the league in the Washington Capitals, and deserves all the credit he can get for it.
