Quinn Hughes, 3 hours into his injury: I’m going to crush this recovery. The doctors will have never seen anybody who recovered so perfectly. I won’t complain, and I won’t rush myself.
Elias Pettersson: Mhm.
Quinn Hughes, 5 days into his injury: THEY HAD A 4–1 LEAD WHAT THE FUCK?!
Elias Pettersson: Should we turn the TV off? You’re slamming the table with your injured hand.
Quinn Hughes, nearly 2 weeks into his injury: I don’t care what I have to play through, I can’t stand this. Consider me recovered.
Thatcher Demko, massaging his back: Oh, you think it’s that easy?
Quinn Hughes, gesturing vaguely to the TV: Look at them! They’re getting shutout by Nashville!
Elias Pettersson, nodding emphatically: I would’ve scored there.
