best hockey youtube channel out there. glad your getting more subscribers!
I’m not sure it’s fair to say “potential bust” seeing as it’s only took him like 3 seasons to become a superstar
As a Devils fan, what surprised me the most about Hughes is his goal scoring. I always knew he would be a great playmaker, but I didn't expect him to on pace for 50 goals.
Hughes is so fun to watch. It seems like every time I check the devils box score he has a goal and an assist on a Bratt or hamilton goal.
The excitement and hype surrounding McDavid have also increased the level of impatience and eagerness for fans with their own prospects, as they compare their prospects to McDavid and want to see them reach a similar level of success. Nathan MacKinnon blossomed as a player at the age of 25-26. MacKinnon was drafted first overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, and while he had shown flashes of his potential earlier in his career. This is why fans need to be patient with prospects. Not all players develop at the same pace, and some may take longer to reach their full potential. Factors such as injury, coaching changes, and individual growth can all impact a player's development, and it's important for fans to be patient and understand that progress can be slow and uneven. By being patient and understanding that development is a process, fans can enjoy watching their prospects grow and improve over time, and appreciate their eventual success all the more.
Two major limiting factors effected Jack that first year, his slight size and his shot. In that first season Jack weighed in under 170 pounds. Any time someone got a free arm on him he flopped down like a traffic cone. Players who excel in the rush game can take slight contact as they brush by players and fight through checks, Jack could not. Even when he did get open, his finishing ability was an obvious problem. No matter how great the look was his shot was a muffin.
That summer he packed on the muscle and gained the ability to fight through contact, but his finishing ability was still a problem. Year three he finally started putting the puck in the net, and now you're seeing the confidence you describe blossom and take his game to a whole nother level. The most impressive thing about Jack is his determination. When he sees a problem in his game, he fixes it. I'm so excited to see him continue to grow over his career, Jack is already one of the best Devils to ever lace up the skates and he could end up being the greatest.
I (like most) had written him off until this season. He has found his groove now.
Anyone who labeled him a bust after one season is a moron. I knew he wasn't a bust because he had the skill, speed, and vision to create. He's 21 for fooks sake.
And just a draft year later, Lafreniere actually became a bust.
He was never a bust ignorance is real here. We who watched his games from draft knew it was only a matter of time. He was showing flashes from day 1. He needed to grow into his adult body and learn to protect himself.
I'm glad you mentioned his confidence because that's the biggest difference-maker I've noticed this year. He's attacking the net aggressively and remarkably, he's making all the right reads. He shoots when he has the shot and makes the right passes when there's a player in better scoring position. This is a sign of a true star whose game is coming together.
One of the few players that you can say is worth the price of admission to see play live.
