Colorado Avalanche reporter under fire after latest comments on former Norris trophy winner

But if we're quoting Highlander, "there can only be one". That shouldn't be a difficult notion for Colorado Avalanche fans, given the kind of play we're used to with Makar.

The fighting started when the account "Avalanche Forever" took aim at defenseman Quinn Hughes and let it rip. Calling Hughes a terrible defenseman, after the superstar would look terrible against the Vegas Golden Knights, and he could face job termination over his comments.

He had a rating of -3, 1 blocked shot, 1 takeaway, 1 giveaway, on 24 shifts, playing 25:02 TOI that night.

Terrible.

While it doesn't take much to coax the Vancouver faithful out of their slumber from the deep. As one fan would rise from the depths to defend Hughes and slam Makar on an off-night.

Makar wouldn't fare much better but to say he's worse than Hughes is laughable. At the moment, he and Connor McDavid are tied in points this season with 90!

His showing against the St. Louis Blues was definitely a down night, and even then, not as terrible as Hughes.

Makar had a rating of -1, 2 shots, 4 blocked shots,1 hit, 1 takeaway, and 3 giveaways. He played 28 shifts, 27:32 TOI, and ended the night with an assist.

While Hughes falls behind the Norris Trophy race with only 72 points in 63 games with the Vancouver Canucks this season.

The Canucks fans must be coping over the failed season they've had to endure now that Elias Pettersson is running the show, or is it Hughes?
