Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Love how you can make stats say what you want when you don't take 5 seconds to dig a little. Before tonight's game he was -8.


He's 0GF, 8GA on empty nets. By your flawless logic he struggles defensively because he can't play goalie. That's how stupid your argument is if you're going to use his +/-

Even worst, his prediction doesn't account for the fact Hutson was -14 just a few weeks ago (-6 at 5v5). If the stat shrank by half, it certainly isn't going to be -20.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Boyle averaged over 12 goals a season and an even plus/minus.

Hutson is on pace for 4 goals and a -20

Hutson is likely going to be a star, he's fantastic. But he has a way to go to get there.

He’s on pace for 62 points as a rookie defenseman, lmao get real

 

[Legend123]

Oh BTW for the +/- geeks, despite playing 23+ minutes a game, he hasn't been a negative in 8 straight games

You are not on the ice for as many empty net goals against when your team is winning or tied and going into overtime.

Shockingly, when Montreal started winning games he is magically +6 in his last 5 games. He is now -7 on the season (with 8 EN goals against and 0 for). Celebrini who has been great at both ends is currently -9 (once again proving how useless this stat is).

Celebrini was also on the ice for a lot of EN goals. Hutson is now +1 at 5v5 and Celebrini is -1 at 5v5.

Stop the count!

The kid's a gamer. Targeted physically tonight by the nucks and still played one of his best game of the season. Looking good for the futur/playoff

Two players, laughing about how much they're going to f***ing wreck your team next year

Habs haven’t had this kind of talent since Guy Lafleur.

He’s so fun to watch

What about Kovalev ?

I'm going to enjoy reading this thread forever

Kovalev's the progenitor:

Nothing like bad faith karma

 

[5 14 6 1]

He's impressive in every game I watch him play

His dad is obviously Pavel Datsyuk, both in face and in talent.

headfakes/10 was a good one

That's Demidov, not Lane.

 

[Garo]

That's Demidov, not Lane.

... I thought it was Dale Weise

 

[mphmiles]

The funny thing is people clown on the headfakes but everyone always f***ing bites. He lures in all 5 players at the same time and dishes out to a crazy open player like 2-3 times per game.

Even funnier part: This is exactly what Celebrini said in an interview.

"You watch him play and you're like 'oh I'll never fall for that' and then you get on the ice with him and you do."

 

[Nicko999]

That 3rd period was probably the best I've ever seen a D-man play im a Habs uniform since the Markov/Subban era.

 

[crosbyshow]

Hutson is playing on the first power play unit since December....and his stats are better sunce then

He would more points by now but by respect for Matheson..they started him in the first 2 months of the season.

With 3 more months on the pp1 Hutson could finish the season with 65 to 70 points

 

[Wats]

Let's not go that far. He's not even close to Hughes in his own end.

But he's definitely projecting that way.

Don't know if people are meaning right now though. Feel like so far he's been pretty close to rookie Hughes.

Hutson is +1 at even strength and playing over 22:30 per game as a rookie.

I think it was a lot of stat watchers at the start of the year looking at his +/- while not watching the games and the 8 empty net goals against that he was on the ice for (shocker that he was on the ice with his team trying to tie the game).

The "he is terrible defensively" has always been a bad faith argument to anyone actually watching all of the games.

Yeah Hutson is so bad that's why the Habs are 8-2-0

I could never understand the level of misery some people must to have to root so badly against such an entertaining and talented player, hoping the player will fail rather than succeed.
