Let’s rewind the clock back to February 22, 1980.
It kept him out of the entirety of the preliminary round of those Olympics.
45 years later and here we are.
But a few weeks before the event got going, he was sidelined with an injury.
He hasn’t played in a game since January 31st.
59 points in 47 games as a defenseman is just sickening stuff out of the reigning Norris Trophy winner.
So losing Quinn Hughes was a massive blow for Team USA before the tournament got going.
Now the rules here are a little wonky.
It would be the ultimate sacrifice for the ultimate team sport.
Moral of the story here is that this is how much this means to these guys.
Hughes vs Makar on the world’s biggest stage.
Funny how Canadian teams all need Americans to be their captains.
Guess they lack leadership qualities up there.
– I’ve been pretty down on Jack Hughes this whole tournament so far.
I think what we’re realizing here is that he’s not built for this punch in of environment.
