Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Hannibal]

So far he looks awesome

 

[waffledave]

At one point in the game it was practically floating between his eyes and his nose.

Its abnormally loose and large

It looked like a fake moustache at one point.

 

[Ryan O'Byrne]

Tkachuk thinks he's lane

Someone should change Tkachuks head to goofies

 

[waffledave]

That guy's so f***ing goofy. Nothing he does looks intelligent and he's just got a plain stupid face.

He has the face of that kid in 3rd grade who always had that permanent upper lip rash and coughed with his mouth open.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Tkachuk thinks he's lane

I love how Lane has no compunction in trying to bait a NHL vet, and riling him up to boot. Just habsolutely beautiful.

 

[Gustave]

Tkachuk thinks he's lane

Baby Tkachuk felt humiliated all game long. What a dickhead.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Whoever said his skating was some big flaw was trying to be the smartest person in the room without knowing what they were talking about. His skating is masterful

Someone even posted a video of him “failing at crossovers” during a Nicholas drill. LOL

… when it was obviously not the intent of the drill. Total lack of knowledge regarding what skating coaches work on these days.

 

[JoelWarlord]

It just feels like every shift he does something magical. You have to go back to Subban for a player that had this kind of gravitational pull on the ice for us

 

[FrankMTL]

I can't wait to see him in a 3 on 3 overtime.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hilarious that he's already made Brady piss his pants on live TV.

Hutson with the potential of an Adam Fox impact for us and the way Guhle looks like he could achieve Ryan Suter like status.. I think the concerns about having a #1 D might fade away.

Fairly confident the floor of Reinbacher is a 3/4, so Guhle-Hutson-Reinbacher with all the other names in the pool, Xhekaj, Struble, Engstrom, Mailloux, Barron, Konyushkov, Protz.. we will find an awesome mix back there and maybe even leverage some of that into picking up Rasmus Andersson.

Guhle-Andersson
Hutson-Reinbacher

Would be a f***ing sexy top 4.

I was hoping they were going to get this corrected...

I can't wait to see him in a 3 on 3 overtime.

We did see him last season against Detroit...
That one didn't end so well.

Personally I like him better in traffic he creates more confusion.

 

[Next Best Thing]

This guy is gonna have some point per game seasons

It's starting as of this year. Maybe I'm overly excited but I'm thinking rationally how does he not get a point every single game? With what he's capable of doing and the state of our defense he's on an island. Maybe a few games he won't get points because 82 games is a marathon and tough grind, but in others he will get 2-3 like yesterday... if he stays healthy he might even be above ppg this year.

 

[PavelBrendl]

I can't remember seeing a rookie drafted late in the 2nd round coming into a season with this much mainstream media hype outside of Johnny Hockey. They're talking about him like he's a can't-miss, blue-chip talent. It was like this all pre-season and all 3 games so far this year. It doesn't matter which broadcast you're watching. The hockey world knows about Lane Hutson.

Once wasn't enough....he had just arrived right from the NCAA and didn't know his teammates very well. He will be a dynamo in OT.

Teams will adjust like they do with Adam Fox etc.
He'll be fun...
When we have the puck.

I said wait 24 hours. It takes the imbecile score keepers 24 hrs to do a job it should take 5 minutes to do. I usually lose 1 or 2 pts in my keeper league overnight. Makes a change to gain one.

 

[salbutera]

Nah this killed me

I know people love BT and don’t get me wrong, he’s a very good player.

But he’s also a clown and doesn’t take his job as captain/leader very seriously. So long as this guy is the face of their franchise, they’re not going anywhere.

Dudes just buying time like his brother to take his trade to STL or southern US market …

 

[Rapala]

When was the last time we had 2 players on the Leader Boards regardless if it's one game or 82?

 

[HuGort]

When I see Hutson play like this. Then Hage highlights in NCAA. Think about Demidov in Russia and Mailloux in Laval. I can't help but smile

 

[Nicko999]

On pace for 109 pts.

 

[OldCraig71]

The comparisons to Fox and Hughes are certainly warranted. I can't be hypocritical because I have worried that he might be susceptible to big hits given his lack of size, but he is showing me that he has found a way to be great despite that.

It is so weird that I find myself longing to see him return on the ice when his shift ends. It seems that things quiet down and then he's back and here's another scoring opportunity where nothing was happening.

Tkachuk tried to hit him and failed and then he eluded another potential hit in the corner, just brilliant. On the Newhook goal when he fooled the Sens D and goalie into following him and at the last minute he sent the perfect pass to AN and the placement of the puck put AN in a shooting position, you just knew it was going in.

Molson and company will need to get a new money truck because this guy will break the bank. It was so strange to even listen to the anti-hab sportsnet crew gushing over him, I couldn't believe my ears lol.

 

[morhilane]

On pace for 109 pts.

If Hutson manage that, he's #10 on the all time NHL records for pts in a season for a dman. Dropping one of Paul Coffey's entries (the top 10 is all Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey).

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Wouldve been nice if the habs found a way to draft his brother
