Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Ozmodiar]

He is incredibly tough to play against because of his physical ability, not strenght, but stamina.

Always up-tempo. Always on the run. Constantly changing direction. Incredibly tough to follow and play against.

And his anticipation and quick stick.

 

[Frank Drebin]

It's always the same Mfers too. There is like 3-4 of them that setup camp full time in any Habs related thread

3 devils fans and the krebs twerp.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Hutson played well except he still has the same problems. They were on display twice last night.

1) Opposing players can beat him on the outside. Juulsen had the same problem. Even though Lane had three -four steps on a Flyer in the first period, the opponent went around him and had a free lane on the goalie. It started with a pass up the boards from Anderson in the offensive zone
2) His straightaway speed leaves a lot to be desired.

Management might just decide to send him down to the A to work on those drawbacks.

I could not disagree more. He will learn ten times more by being constantly challenged than by playing in the AHL. Not only I don't think he would develop in the AHL but I feel he would regress by playing 2nd tier talent and goons and getting away with his talent. To develop in any sports you have to compete against the best, he has nothing to learn at the AHL level. His skating won't fix itself by playing slower, less talented player he has to get used with NHL pace and more talented players. He will make mistake which is fine but he will learn more.

They’re getting nervous

I've noticed this with some of my Leafs/Bruins fans friends. They've started "suggesting" we do dumb shit in trades/free agency because they want us to stay mediocre.

Also that Florida guy

 

[Habs]

Kid looked great, I think he will have to pace himself a bit more or he may find himself out of position because I don't know who can keep up with him on the other side.

 

[Jaynki]

And his anticipation and quick stick.

One mistake, one simple mistake and he cooks you.

Oh yeah, the main board is completely afraid.

They had the dunk on us because Slafkovsky and now Slafkovsky is developing into a rare beast.
They had the dunk on us because Hutson was too small and now Hutson is a respectable height and showing his class is too high to be diminished by a physical limitation.
They had the dunk on us because we passed on Michkov and now we have Demidov.

There is no physical limitation in the case of Hutson. Only a perceived lack of strenght because of his small weight.

His stamina, the speed at which he plays the game constantly up-tempo is an incredible physical/athletic skill and it distinguish him from the pack. It must be very exhausting to keep the pace with him as his teammate, i don't wanna imagine what it is being his adversary.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

All I can say is thank f*** we have a coaching staff who are letting him play his game and use all his strengths.

Therrien and Julien would've lost their minds on him for not getting da puck off the glass or getting da puck in deep.

Yah somehow Hutson is the only one to receive a negative mention in the training camp standouts thread (apparently his skating ability will make him a defensive liability)

There's a Panther fan from Finland that often lives there too.

It's a good thing that Hutson wont have to be labeled an individualisssssss

yep hes been gone from my sight so to speak for a long time.

I don't mind banter with players from opposing teams. I don't really mind the devils trio. But there are a few posters thats only purpose is to troll/bother habs fans. Aint nobody got time for dat

He’s going down to work on anything.

I try not to rain on parades and I don't even think I am but funnily enough when he got that penalty early on, it was pretty much due to what @Estimated_Prophet's been saying all along about skating backwards. It's an issue.

BUUUUUUTTTTT he's too f***ing good. Full stop. I'm sure he'll get burned and exposed plenty of times in his first few years but more likely than not he's got so much fight in him that what errors he'll make in a game, he'll do his damnedest to make it right one way or another.

This is probably a good time to remember that Erik Karlsson has 3 Norris trophies and is genuinely one of the worst defensive players I’ve ever seen

Imagine sending a talent like Hutson to the AHL.

Is that guy who seemingly doesn't even have a team of his own to cheer for and constantly cites stats instead of viewings, in fact a Devils fan?

 

[KevSkillz4]

Hutson change everything for the future of Habs. The PP will be much better with this guy. The forwards will put more points with a passer like Hutson.

He is a game changer!!

 

[Sasha Orlov]

In fairness he’s way more of an Oilers troll and it’s actually quite funny

Ahl lolol

 

[bsl]

Absolutely, unequivocally if Lane Hutson was 6’2-200lbs he’d go #1 OV

If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. Sorry but you lobbed that one over the net.

 

[bsl]

You can not "hook" the puck with side spin like that, it is not possible at such a low velocity. Pucks that are tumbling or fluttering can suddenly drop or break due to a sudden increase in resistance if the puck tumbles just the right but you absolutely can not spin it and curve the trajectory as you are alluding.

Regardless it was a phenomenal pass and I alluded to this freakish ability that Lane has to sauce pucks at all sorts of trajectories with uncanny accuracy back when he was in college.

lol hooking the puck. Agreed. It cannot be intentional.

 

[CanadienShark]

Djb? Yeah

The Gibbs guy.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

This kid is going to be the best thing that'll happen to the Habs power play since Markov was let go, and they f***ing need it.

Years of atrocious power play with this group, years of spamming Weber one timer and forcing it to him, years of doing the same with PK. I can't remember the last time the Habs powerplay had any creativity or vision what so ever. I miss the Markov-Kovalev Powerplay days.
