Hughes seemed to slow the game down

In a Fozzy-esque way, but he's a better player than that. When Russell plays in the middle he moves forward and plays a pass, keeps the game moving. Hughes didn't do that much, if at all.

And didn't Hughes miss that chance in the first minute? It was at the other end from where I sit.

Korey looked much sharper when he came on.
