Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[BehindTheTimes]

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

I know it’s lofty praise, but I don’t think Subban created as much every shift as Lane has so far.

 

[Habssince89]

I think they should connect Lane with Dr.shot and really round out his game

 

[BehindTheTimes]

We all like Ev ans. He is a hard working bottom-six center. But at some point, Habs have to make space for Kapanen, Beck… and Hage in a not too far future.


He is indeed a very different type of player - forward or D-man.

Speak for yourself. I’ve never been a fan of Evans.

Close to 50? And here I taught 65+ was a realistic possibility for him.

He will get 50 in his sleep.

At 165 pounds, there is so much you can do.

 

[MeanMugging91]

He's so good. No points so far tonight but he's constantly making things happen out there. He's special.

Release is release

 

[ahmedou]

We're not watching Habs vs Pens for Sidney Crosby...

We're watching Habs vs Pens for Lane Hutson!!!

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Hutson played 24:45 tonight, only 6 seconds less than Matheson who played the most

 

[Zalos]

I know it’s lofty praise, but I don’t think Subban created as much every shift as Lane has so far.

I wish Lane had PK's shot, though.

That being said, he's just incredible. He creates a lot of scoring chances and he has so much hustle. I can't wait to see him and Demidov on the ice at the same time. Can you remember the last time Montreal had players like this?

The odd man rushes were brutal tonight thanks to way too much freelancing by #48 and shitty coverage by our forwards. Monty was hung out to dry.

#48 is bringing a culture of debauchery to our beautiful team

He will learn. You gotta live with the rookies

Absolutely. There was also terrible attention to detail by forwards who weren't covering for #48 on his pinches. Tonight's lack of team defense looked like a bad beer league team full of selfish players.

We'll never be in position for meaningful games in March if this doesn't get cleaned up.

With experience he will learn when to pick and choose his moments more wisely and his teammates will learn to react when he activates.

Hope the -4 doesn't make him bashful though, what makes him special is his daring nature, you can't snuff that.

Agreed.

When Kent takes him to Arbitration in 2 years he has to make sure to bring tapes of this game to save an extra 500,00$/yr of his contract.

He’s been a student of Glen’s for a while..

 

[G0bias]

I know it’s lofty praise, but I don’t think Subban created as much every shift as Lane has so far.

As crazy as it sounds, i'd have to agree. He's just that good.

To his credit, at his peak PK was also shutting down superstars and bringing a physical element at the other end.

 

[FLHabs]

I know we're all excited to have a guy as skilled as Hutson on the team, but the cheering just when he touches the puck is a bit much imo.

The Bell center fans need to chill about that one. We don't want Hutson to think he has to do something spectacular every time he touches the puck just to impress the fans. His game is flashy enough as is, I just want him to play his game and no worry about what WE think.

Cole weighs the same .

It’s fine, not an issue at all. Cheer all day long.

Subban was a physical beast, quick for his weight, and defensively sound. Don't let the post-trade propaganda campaign deceive you. The whole NHL was tilted against him and he still earned his reputation as a TopX dman for a god-damned reason.
