An outstanding performance by Quinn Hughes was squandered by the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.
Quinn Hughes was an absolute beast for the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night against the Ottawa Senators. It seemed like every time he stepped on the ice, he was making something happen, whether it was setting up a scoring chance for a teammate or getting a shot off himself.
Boeser himself was a major positive, as he scored two goals to break out of a brief four-game drought. A few other Canucks also had strong games, like Phil Di Giuseppe, Pius Suter, Kiefer Sherwood, and, unexpectedly, Vincent Desharnais.J.T. Miller picked up an assist but otherwise had a disastrous game, including two crucial goals against that can be directly attributed to his failure to backcheck. He finished the game with zero shot attempts, let alone shots on goal.
The spotlight was squarely focused on Miller and Pettersson thanks to the rumours of a rift between them — rumours that Quinn Hughes and Rick Tocchet essentially confirmed as true on Saturday morning — so this would have been a great time for both of them to make like Mulan and get down to business on the ice and prove it wasn’t an issue or a distraction.
