Got to give another shout out to Quinn Hughes.
Quinn Hughes plays for the Minnesota Wild, and I am so freaking happy that he does because he's even better than I think any of us anticipated.
And I could say this every week.
I probably will.
I will say Quinn Hughes is the best thing to ever happen to the Minnesota Wild.
Probably even better than Kirill Kaprizov.
He is allowing the team to be even better than we imagined.
I mean, he extended his point streak to one goal, eight assists, or excuse me, to five games where he has one goal, eight assists.
He is tied with Lane Hudson for most in the NHL by defensemen with 44 assists this year.
This man, Kirsten, is on pace for 98 points if he had played his entire season with the Minnesota Wild.
He had four minutes and four seconds of possession time.
According to Megan Chayka and her stats, which is incredible.
Like take a minute to think about that.
Like this man, he's not only on the ice doing things and creating, but the amount of time he has the puck during his elongated shifts.
I mean, it's absolutely freaking incredible.
And Quinn Hughes recognizes it too, because again, I will always call him Quinn Hughes, not just Hughes, not just Quinn, it's Quinn Hughes.
I believe he told Gorgie and Audra Martin either Thursday or Saturday, you know, I've never had as many grade A opportunities in my entire life that I do for the Minnesota Wild.
So he's respecting what they're bringing him.
But my God, he's just so freaking good.
Like the respect he's demanding people have for the Minnesota Wild now is a new level.
