GOTTA SEE IT: Quinn Hughes Goes Five-Hole To Score In His Wild Debut
He’s still playing without Vinnie Hinstrozen. Marcus Felino up front playing without Broaddin and Middleton on the back end. [Applause] You lose a lot of minutes and the guys matching. Those are guys that are playing. Hughes in. He scores. Welcome to Minnesota. [Music] [Applause] Well, it only took 41 minutes and the fans got to see what they wanted. They were here in warm-up waiting for him. And you see his gability, his want to get up and play offense. He finds a good area of the ice, gets himself into a good shooting area. Has the ability to sweep him through Swayman’s legs, but there’s not a lot of defense when they read that play the way he does and see Hartman driving that puck into the zone and find that ice in the top of the zone. Get in the middle of the ice. We talked about that when they acquired him. His ability to get into the middle of the ice to man the puck, which he does, and his scoring ability [Music]
Watch as Quinn Hughes makes his mark in his Minnesota Wild debut, ripping a wrister that gets by Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman for the former Vancouver Canucks captain’s first marker with the Wild.

Haven't seen Hughes smile that much in a while in Van
You guys are gonna have such a fun time watching him be a magician on the ice. Don't let it go to waste like we did.
– Canucks fan
Vancouver ownership and management are completely clueless. Deserve every bit of their issues since they screwed around with Bruce Boudreau.
the baby boy scores 😉
he score so quickly
1 player won’t win you a cup but 1 player added to the right team definitely will.
I miss you Hughes the Captain. That was a great goal. Good luck in Minnesota.
The playoff success is pretty much the same for Minnesota 😀
Feel for Vancouver. Cause him leaving is in spite of that organization .
the top 3 in the league could genuinely be from the central
Yeah… the Wilds might become dangerous this year.
Vancouver traded away Quinn Hughes?? Talk about stupid trades.
im so sad for the canucks bro, idk why they would ever do something like this…
Four first-round picks for a guy who's leaving for New Jersey soon. That's insane 😅
MINNESOTA IS HAPPY
Close game
First game, already leading in mins played.
Добро пожаловать в Миннесоту Куинн Хьюз!🏒🥅
Hughes wanted to play with his brothers.
Canucks tries to convince him to stay
Get high end assets now better you get stuck like Toronto and Marner
As a Hawks fan I hope the Wild win the cup so Vancouver's management looks even worse than they already do. Imagine if they did and he wins Conn Smythe?
The trade could be a win – win for both sides
Oddly Buium Outscored Hughes in his first game as a Canuck. he got a goal and an assist. Wacky patacky stuff boys.
This guy is gonna quarterback the wild to a cup
He will sign with New Jersey.
Keep your legs closed Sway, there are children watching.
credit swiss for the goal………………….i could have stopped that one
Sad we had to lose him. But he had us in the basement. Things had to change.
Nice ice breaker!
we will always love you huggie
he looks good in green
Tkachuk left Canada for a US team and look what happened. It may happen again in Minnesota
