Canucks radio show answer to the Hughes disrespect: Shots fired
Some Oilers talk show went viral over the weekend for directing clear shots at the Canucks' captain Quinn Hughes. In light of what is about to be the NHL's most spirited second-round matchup, the shots have officially been fired from both sides.
Since the season began, the disrespect has been fundamental for Canucks' captain Quinn Hughes. With an incredible season that nominated him to the Norris Trophy (NHL's top defenceman), the detractors haven't stopped. As the second round awaits its debut, the Oilers' fans and many radio shows have been trying to get to Quinn Hughes' head ever since the matchup between the two Canadian teams was announced: Edmonton radio shows disrespect towards Canucks' captain Quinn Hughes.
On Sportsnet650, Dan Riccio and Satiar Shah directed a shot of their own at the Oilers, claiming that they were jealous that their very own $9M defenceman wasn't even a shadow of Quinn Hughes' game:
