Weird take ABB looked good on the PP. He has good vision and poise with the puck.Sorry, the new guy ABB gets the PP time now because he's a local guy.
Yeah that was brutal.Also I gotta mention:
Patrik Laine looked like a cheesy villain from one of the terrible Batman movies. Whichever one Jim Carey and Tommy Lee Jones were in. Looked it up, Batman Forever. It was like his girlfriend raided Prince’s old wardrobe and forced him to wear it to the game.
Too soon.Leafs already in playoff form.
Leafs bottom 6 sucks ass through a straw.
Big play Dave.In pressers, during training camp, players called him big Savy a couple of times.
He’s turned into a real good add for us on the blue line.Big play Dave.
I don't understand this board. Hutson was worse than Barron defensively yet JB gets crapped on. And offensively Lane had one pass that was dangerous; otherwise all he did was jitterbug up and down the offensive zone and then lose the puck or give it away. I can't believe people are clamoring to install him as the PP quarterback.He (Hutson) was one of the worst tonight defensively, but the rest of his game easily makes up for it and much of it is a lack of experience. All of the young defensemen I thought made some terrible reads, turnovers and bad decisions without the puck. Savard and Matheson made some bad plays, but by and large are still necessary as they do quite a bit of heavy lifting, that I've noticed many posters here just don't see at all. Matheson shouldn't play on PP1, he's not good enough.
I was impressed with the Leafs forecheck last night. They lost but if they keep playing that way they will be successful in a tight playoff style hockey IMO
Because Hutson has 3 NHL games in his pocket, and Barron, a hundred and a few years more? At some point, people are starting to think Barron won't progress, while we still can forgive Hutson's mistakesI don't understand this board.

Decent compared to what?Pretty much best case scenario tonight. We're the youngest roster in the league, with limited offense and an extremely young defense. Anybody thinking we'd dominate the Leafs who are competing for a cup is delusional. Goalie played great, our pp was actually decent and are pk was good. So many positives tonight. Can't really ask for more at the moment.
We should ask André Racicot what he was drinking instead of water.....Like I've said 10 000 times before, there's something in the Montreal tap water , its so obvious , some type of fluoride that makes the boys unable to ever be ppg but makes every goalie the second coming , like Michaels secret juice in space jam
The PP was awful imoDecent compared to what?
Development is not linear.Because Hutson has 3 NHL games in his pocket, and Barron, a hundred and a few years more? At some point, people are starting to think Barron won't progress, while we still can forgive Hutson's mistakes
The Artful Dodger Baby!Not Mathesons best game, think he’s earned the right for dibs on first wave, give him 5-6 games and if it’s all the same, I’d definitely move Hutson on that #1PP.
Don’t think we are in must win so no need to panic on St-Louis’s part.
Hutson is a star in the making though, so crafty
Couldn't agree more. I've been a defender of Matheson on PP1, but there is absolutely no player on the roster I'd rather have with the puck on his stick in a 5-3 situation than Lane Hutson.Made the trip up for the game tonight.
All I really need to say is, if we ever have a 5 on 3 Powerplay again and don’t put Hutson out there I’m going to snap.
There is no better time to play the kid. Every time he’s on the ice he’s constantly moving his feet and making things happen. Our 5 on 3 was atrocious, we made it as easy as we possibly could for the Leafs to defend it.
Everyone standing around. Hutson will shine in that situation.
Other than that, GG Monty.
