With his microphone turned on to announce the penalty to the arena, the referee began literally pleading with Hughes to just shut up and go to the penalty box. In a parental tone, he kept repeating «Go to the box, please! Now!»
It's odd that at just 24 years old, Hughes is sort of becoming a league veteran. Despite his extremely young age, Hughes has now captained the Canucks to a winning season, and has already played 350 games in the league. He's still got the perception of a younger player, evident by the ref speaking to him like a child, but Hughes is a certified league vet now - he's even earned the NHL pension already.
