This Is One Of The Most Badass Moves I've Ever Seen

In a startling turn of events, Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes, who had been recovering from an injury and had to miss The Four Nations Faceoff, is now his route to Boston and is probably going to be in the starting lineup for the Americans as an injury replacement when they face Canada in the championship game. At this moment it’s still unclear if he will be allowed to suit up for the championship game. however, it's tough to imagine he would make the trip to Boston if he didn't have a strong indication that he’ll be in the lineup.

This surprising move only heightens the anticipation for what is already one of the most hyped up hockey games in recent memory. With three fights in the first nine seconds, the first game between these two teams set the tone for a passionate game between these two hockey rivals. With every going on between the two countries off the ice right now, there was a noticeable sense of intensity that I truthfully didn't expect.

If Hughes is in the lineup, it only makes the talent on display in this game even better. This star-studded matchup is already scheduled to feature players like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Auston Matthews, Cale Makar, and the Tkachuk brothers, but the possible addition of Hughes to play alongside his brother Jack, only adds another level of excitement. The game might be the most skilled hockey game ever played if he does get in the lineup.

I simply cannot wait for this game and it has to been appointment television for everyone. 

The Championship Game between team Canada and team USA is set to take place Thursday night at 8PM Eastern in Boston.
