can they put quinn hughes on the big screen

hughes brothers on the kiss cam please. hurry

i'm so bored does anyone wanna have a fucked up codependent mutual obsession but we're also just watching tv on the couch

sorry for sexualizing icky gross things as if it’s my fault they’re all literally hot

it seriously does piss me the fuck off that trevor made cool plays early in his career and that being negative in the nhl eyes -> that reputation will never leave him. wasn’t even like he was just doing it for no reason like he was productive offensively. and his defense was rough but like what nhl rookie and second year forward has perfect defense? ppl just focused on the negatives of his game because they got so pissed off that he had offensive flair. and even five years later traded to a new team the first thing the new coach says is that he doesn’t want trevor playing “for clicks” like oh my god the guy was injured for most of his past two seasons and did actually improve his defensive game even then and that’s all you’re thinking about. getting voted most overrated by the players tk having a rough initial perception of him no instagram hockey like holy fuck he has good hands and isn’t afraid to use them and this warped perception is never going to leave. signs an extension with the flyers and one of the things danny says in his press conference is how much trevor has bought in isn’t doing it for the clicks HE HASN’T BEEN PLAYING FOR THE CLICKS EVER, and even if he was, it definitely stopped after 2023. literally had average, if not above average defensive metrics as a center and arguably the most important skater for the flyers success this season everyone still talking about his instagram hockey perception. the guy scored some michigan goals and had cool passes when he was in his early twenties and the league said 1) we’re going to twist this into a negative and 2) we will never ever let you forget this even when by all metrics that type of play has been weeded out for over a year now.

and he’s been on record saying he was inspired by nba players and their personalities/flair and you have to think like obviously a lot of nhl players are also fans of basketball but really only trevor saw the more individual personality content that’s in the nba even encouraged in the nba and said yeah im going to be like that in the nhl. went through the classic usa hockey pipeline didn’t lose a single watt of his spark was cocky at world juniors 2021 he attempted a michigan for his first goal like people were already pointing fingers and saying he doesn’t take the game seriously he did not give a fuck. because it’s a game he loves and can play with his friends why would he stifle what comes naturally to him and he looked up to in other league growing up? and then the league tried to kill him with hammers. and they will continue to hit him with hammers no matter what.
