The viral stare that captivated hockey fans finally has an explanation straight from the Wild defenseman himself. He's "usually seeing ghosts."
If you have ever watched a Minnesota Wild game, or even a Vancouver Canucks game, when he was on the Canucks, you would see Quinn Hughes often staring off into space.
Many folks on social media would say that Hughes must be seeing ghosts. Every time the camera would pan to Hughes, he would be staring off into the distance and not moving.
The Hughes' ghost buzz has been a thing ever since his Vancouver days but ever since he got traded to Minnesota, it has really been going viral.
In USA's game against Germany, Matthew Tkachuk delivered a Gold Medal worthy chirp to Leon Draisaitl.
Hughes was asked postgame by a reporter if he ever just chuckles when he hears the Tkachuk brothers say chirps in games.
"Sometimes you hear some funny stuff out there," Hughes said. But yeah ... as the people say, I'm usually seeing ghosts, so I'm usually focused on myself."
It has happened so much there is even a full thread on 'X' of Hughes seeing ghosts. It is funny he brought up the meme in an interview after the USA game.
