LD Lane Hutson - Montreal Canadiens, NHL (2022, 62nd, MTL) - Part 2

Seemed like the Leafs had scouted something they could exploit in his game. Curious if other teams keep doing it and how he adjusts.

Haters : yes, finally Hutson had one bad game after 40 good ones, let's go shit all over HF walls.

Get a life ffs.

Hopefully he can keep rolling and doesnt lose a step... lots of young players hit a wall mid season.... especially many kids coming from NCAA that arent used to playing this many games.

Hutson is one of the reasons why im enjoying watching Habs games this season!

I'm sure he'll keep improving but unless his gets a lot stronger he's going to be an absolute liability in the playoffs.

Sure maybe, but having the personel to execute is another thing and the Leafs have 3 superstar forwards and an overall very impressive forwars group. Everyone isn't able to do what they do

Sorry I hurt your feelings with a little dose of reality.

You clearly don't watch the games, what's that reality you speak of?

His defensive metrics are absolutely terrible.

He's 20 years old playing the best opposition every game ... What defensive metric is so bad? Last I checked he was top 5 in puck possession. Best defense is offense. You clearly didn't watch him since November if you think that.

Hutson has been getting rolled defensively all season long.

He’s good enough offensively to look over that most games, however. It’s going to continue to be a problem for his entire career. You take the good, with the bad with a guy like Hutson.

Check his xG against and HDCA numbers. He’s bad defensively. Acting like he’s not is what’s annoying. Not everything needs a “oh yeah but he’ll get better” no shit he’ll get better he’s a 20 year old rookie.

I like Lane Hutson, he’s awesome to watch and a Chicago kid. He’s not good defensively.

A lot of talk about him being bad defensively but not a lot of context included.

His e+/- (xGF-xGA) is second on the Habs. His possession stats are top few on the Habs almost across the board. 3rd best GA/60 among Habs dmen (while having best GF/60 among their d), relative stats second only to Struble... He's got some of the better defensive metrics on the Habs.

Really good stats for a 20 year old.

Some posters don't watch and post stats they don't understand. Others are just clueless haters with big bias. Hutson is a special player. Creating like he does will also create bad outcomes from time to time. Overall he's a positive high impact player.

I love how we are talking about defense and include a stat about xGF lol. The Habs are a terrible defensive team and he has terrible numbers relative to the league.

He generates offensive at an elite level. Some of that helps his defense by not defending. That’s fine. His defense is atrocious. I’ve seen him plenty.
