Nicomo Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Advanced stats from the WHC. Biggest thing that jumps out at me is how much better Hughes is at zone entries. https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=99833 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the World Championships got way overblown for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I don't think it minimizes Kakko in anyway as a player. He's still gonna be great for Chicago after the Rangers take the Russian (I'm gonna keep speaking that into the universe) but Hughes is just a guy you can't pass up 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Hughes, and I heard this, I would be pretty offended as it basically undermines everything I've ever accomplished by saying "Oh! You're Jewish. No wonder you're getting selected 1st overall". good grief, Stan... EDIT : Oh and stan's final comment on him picking Kakko if he was Ray Shero? Thank god, he's not Ray Shero then.

He also couldn’t pronounce “Elias” if I remember correctly. I’ve always found him especially irritating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also felt like he tried way too hard to have a totally different opinion than other people, like claiming that a 3 goal lead is the most dangerous in hockey and other stuff. That video is par for the course with him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many Jews, being Jewish is a culture thing as much if not more so then a religious one. I don't think he was trying to make a salient point on Hughes personal beliefs, Stan is just proud.

Everything has been be patient and let things develop, not lets make a shotgun move to see what will come of it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajsgolf Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 https://www.nhl.com/devils/multimedia/podcast Shero’s take on Hughes and Kakko concerns me. Through all the discussion and expectations it needs to be Hughes. Don’t like that 57 second clip, doesn’t sound good. Someone please prove me wrong...ideally Ray.

If Ray chooses Kakko, I think a lot of us will be disappointed, but it's just something we'd have to roll with. You could end your fandom with/of Shero. But not the team.
