Time For Quinn Hughes And The Minnesota Wild To Make A Push -
from Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet,There are two things Brock Faber didn’t know about Quinn Hughes until he started playing with him.“One, just how good he is,” Faber said of his defence partner on the Minnesota Wild. “Like, you don't even realize how good he is until you play with him, and then you realize how much he actually changes the dynamic of a team, how much he takes control of the game every single night.“And then, just how competitive he is. He wants the puck on his stick at all times. He wants to be the difference maker. He wants to compete, wants to win. He goes 110 per cent every single time he steps on the ice, which is ... it’s awesome. His inner drive and will to win and be better every single day is something like I've never seen.”...Hughes is too small to hit anyone, rarely gets drawn into scrums, sees ghosts from the bench as he stares straight ahead, emotionless, between shifts, and smiles about as often as Darth Vader
