Hronek is a story again because he has been playing since the regular season began with Quinn Hughes in a power-pairing that has the potential to become one of the NHL's best – if it remains intact....
Hronek is a story again because he has been playing since the regular season began with Quinn Hughes in a power-pairing that has the potential to become one of the NHL's best – if it remains intact.
While Hronek’s reluctance to be interviewed was expected, the H2 defence duo is a surprise. Hronek and Hughes barely played together during the pre-season, when the Canucks made it clear they’d rather balance the blue line by having their top two defencemen deployed separately....
According to naturalstattrick.com, in the 15:18 of five-on-five ice time that Hughes and Hronek were together on Saturday, shot attempts were 21-10 for the Canucks and high-danger scoring chances 7-3. In the other 34:21 of five-on-five, the Panthers clobbered the Canucks 50-18 and 9-0 in those metrics.
Through five games, Hughes has logged 78 of his 96 minutes of even-strength ice time with Hronek and the Canucks have outscored other teams 7-1. Hronek, who has eight more minutes than Hughes at evens, has a 7-2 personal goals-differential. Each is averaging 25 minutes a night.
-----While Hronek reluctance to be interviewed was expected
----Why?
It's Canada, if they don't create drama about Hockey, they don't know what to do with themselves.
Just like Nascar in the south. They create these elaborate lama drama, As the World Turns drama events so readers/watchers will want to continue to read/watch their content.
