Anyone know his actual height and weight at the combine?

Hopefully Anderson's baby arrives so he's in the lineup tomorrow. If so, he'll be tired but will have a major boost of adrenaline.

Doubt it Habs are probably boarding the plane now.

 

[OldCraig71]

Way too early to say that...he has Lehkonen upside and is a RH center.

I just get a sense about some players. Here's to hoping I am wrong.

Was at a bar with a buddy. That Hutson snipe was unreal. The Suzuki short was atom level hockey. Such a funny goal. Slaf frustrated ne tonight.

 

[bsl]

Rags are the real threat because they're the team that has the tiebreaker on us. I think we have the tie break on the others in the race now.

Rags are the only threat left

Rags are the only threat left

And they don't seem to care.

Good thing Suzuki is an iron man!

Anti Jinx applied

Finally some breathing room.

Go with dobes tommorow, then run monty for the rest of the season (unless the habs clinch)

We have another back-to-back next weekend. In Ottawa Friday then in Toronto Saturday. It's doubtful Montembeault plays both games. We'll see what happens.

He was actually smaller than 5'9. He was like 5'7 at time of draft and brought medical information that he could still grow a couple of inches to get to 5'9. He was also, like 145 lbs, maybe.

He was so small. I'll never forget my first time watching him at the U18s 2021. I was like why did USA bring a 12 year old? He was tiny. Absolutely electric though.

At the combine, he was listed at

• Lane Hutson (25th NA): 5-foot-8.25, 158 pounds

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

4 wins in a row

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hopefully Anderson's baby arrives so he's in the lineup tomorrow. If so, he'll be tired but will have a major boost of adrenaline.

I don't expect him back til Tuesday against Detroit. I don't expect he's traveling with the team to Nashville.

Hopefully all is well with baby & mom.

 

[Kimota]

This team is unstopable.

Knowing that you are wrong 80% of the times since 2009, we shouldn't trust your words really

 

[bsl]

Looks like we have ended all Gritty’s hopes & dreams. How sad.

Slick Nick & Golden Lane once again. Give Lane the Calder now, it’s over.

We gonna make the playoffs & yes the Caps can be taken down. Remember 2010 baby!

Rags are the only threat left

If Wings win tomorrow they will have the exact same record as the Rags and still a game against us. And they will probably win as they play Florida, a team that really is struggling.

Watch Suz hit the 90's baby

30 goals 60 assists

Hutson may be our 2nd best scorer, who would have think that at the season start

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Just realized with Boston's win & Flyers' loss, Philadelphia is now last in East.

This is a huge loss for them draft wise. It drops them back to 5th. Boston is 6th.

Would be a shame if they miss out on the big 4 .

What a big game. A good team is a team whose big players play big when it counts. So guess who score the 3 goals...

Gallagher. 20 goals now. Exemplifies players who play above their size, and never lets up on the battle. And doesn't forget to love playing the game, which makes for a real inspiration to younger players.

Hutson. Speaking of size, I was a bit skeptical of how good he will be as an NHLer before this season, but the more I watch how this guy is evolving as a player the more I think we may have a star defensemen on our hands.

Suzuki... Junior success doesn't always repeat itself, but in this case a former playoff MVP in the OHL is doing the same stuff now... the bigger the game is the better he gets. (And to repeat an early thought... thank goodness he wasn't picked for the 4 Nations.)

A few more players deserve special note:

Savard and Armia. Yes, Armia might be injured and may not score much these days, but he's a key forward who's at his best defending a lead. As for Savard, yes, he is on his last legs, but look who was guaranteed to be on the ice when the Habs took that late penalty and were about to play 2 skaters down and was talking to the other 3 skaters before the face-off. The Habs have become pretty good in protecting these 1 and 2 goal leads, and now they have to do it in big games. Savard's been there and done that, and can instruct others what to focus on in such key situations plus provide a calming effect that helps that focus to happen.

Montembeault. Made at least 3 big saves when it mattered at the end. He is proving he can play big in the big games.

That leads into one reason why this game was a big one ... as mentioned by others, they can give the next game to Dobes, because Monty's time needs to be managed for him to play at his best. And that goes right into the playoffs if they make it.

That train left the station long before tonight imo.

Two consecutive 3 points game from Hutson sealed the deal. 100% that Hutson will win the Calder.

 

[Tyson]

Nick needs 7 points in 6 games to hit 90. That would be a terrific accomplishment.

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Could this be another 2021 Stanley Cup run? Last seed to get in playoffs. Got a break and bounce in first round and went on a roll

 

[dcyhabs]

At least we came to play in the 3rd, huge win!

They outplayed the Flyers throughout. I predicted 3-1 habs after the first period. The habs had frequent chances, while the Flyers did not. The Torts bounce is done.

 

[Habano]

I just get a sense about some players. Here's to hoping I am wrong.

I know what you mean. I had that same feeling about Josh Roy. I mean he can still prove me wrong but, afaic, it's not looking good for him.
