He can ma car's all he wants id take Quinn hughs any day
I guess a lot of you want a video on Quinn Hughes next?
Short of a horrible injury, I think decades from now people will be arguing forever about whether he or Bobby Orr were a better player.
Imagine being the guy who got benched in the playoffs for a rookie who’s never played an nhl or even an ahl game
No
Future Hall of Famer mark my words GO AVS GO
When Orr played there was no doubt or debate about who was the best. The only reason he didn't win 10 Norris trophies was injuries. To say he played against inferior players is foolish, Howe,Hull,Robinson, Savard, etc. Only people that never watched him play make ridiculous comments like what's being said now.
no lol
Why is that every day i open a sports newspage there is atleast one mention of the word GOAT. What is this modern day trend that we have to name players GOATs. For what benefit? We never had this in the late 90s. We just enjoyed the sport we followed. Everyone has their favorite player in any field of sport. Im no different. I have my favorites but i dont rave about them on the internet all day.
Was interested in the topic but stopped the video after about 30 seconds due to the annoying background music. Sorry.
That means you gotta put Quinn Hughes top 10 all time. Makar is top 10 when it's all over but nobody will ever touch Orr
Not a chance. By the age of 22, Bobby Orr had already won the Hart, Art Ross, Conn Smythe, Stanley Cup and his 3rd of 8 consecutive Norris Trophies.
the fact that nobody fucked up okposo for what he did to cale is honestly disgusting… dude has been hampered from that play basically ever since. not only did no one stick up for him, he fucking went out and blamed himself..
No
Nah Orr will always be the best
wow. that's some next level dumb video title. clickbait, because i know you cant be serious.
Already is imo
He is a forward on the blue line.
When they lose, he often has the highest minus rating on the team.
Just like letang, Karlsson, subban, etc. Forwards thinking they are defensemen.
No, need 6 100 seasons like Orr then we'll see…
No. He’s mid.
No
Great player,but not inthe top two in the world.
Best draft lottery “loss” in history
The best hockey player in the world.
Nope because there's Quinn Hughes
Best defensemen since D Kieth.
No
My favorite quote about Cale comes from Landy after the avs won the cup in 2022. His quote to some question about what it takes to get to the top was a legendary "Get a Cale Makar"
hughes will be better
He’ll be one of the best ever
if he stays healthy and plays consistently at this rate, he'll be the defensemen GOAT.
Great player sure but he's got one of those faces that's just begging to get punched
GOAT, no. Great player, yes.
