Also your post history shows you can’t be objective when it comes to anything Habs related.

Game, set and match.

Personally I’ve noticed all our young D getting beat wide in a similar fashion early on, maybe except Guhle.

With all our young D we should lay out some more cash out and get additional help to train them. Have 3-4 more D-coaches, work a proper D philosophy and help each kid with a proper individualized curriculum.

I post all over the place. I’m not a fan of any team. Im an OHL team fan first.

I think people like you are strange for taking time out of your day to stalk my profile, and come to conclusions about it. Says more about you than it does me.

no it says a lot about you namely that you’re a sens fan

Would have sufficed , sometimes you need to take the L and carry on

 

[Favster]

You can come to whatever conclusions you want. I know what I am, sure as hell more than you.

This is a Lane Hutson thread, not a thread about the Ottawa 67’s, and not a thread about ME. He was terrible in his own end as expected. He has a lot of growth in that regard. The -1 is a testament of that.

Stop trying to derail the thread because your frail ego can’t handle criticism of a hockey player that has no clue who you are.

Look at the dude using +/- for 20 mins of NHL play to justify a kids dzone capabilities. Posts like this are what makes this place tough to read.

There were issues in the dzone but to me it mostly looked systematic, he was chasing guys up to the blue line and was playing borderline positionless hockey. Most of what I saw will be easily correctible.

Take a chill pill buddy

Yeah but he's not capable of doing that, it's pretty funny.

A sens fan trying to say that Hutson was bad yesterday when he was after Seider the best defenceman on the ice on both team.

Including a - where he generated a grade A scoring chance and had no support from one of the worst players in the league lol

 

[RedHawkDown]

As a red wings fan I thought he was pretty good in his own end lol

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I think it's ok to be cautious about him but it's pretty apparent even if you like him or not that Hutson offensive IQ is elite, now he will have to get bigger/stronger and improve his defensive game but it is very refreshing to see a player like him with high confidence and abilities to take charge offensively.

 

[LarKing]

He made some mistakes but Hutson overall was really solid last night. I was impressed.

 

[GordieHowYaDoin]

I thought the same thing. He looks damn good in his first showing.

 

[Wats]

Most controversial Habs top prospect since Subban...hoping he can come close to his impact. Getting flash backs to his first couple games in NHL being heavily analysed to whether he can be effective. Don't think Hutson will be as good but we'll see.

 

[Trabdy2]

Any d man who plays 20+ minutes in his first NHL game is gonna make some mistakes. He looked good and there's lot of promise with his skillset, competitiveness, and hockey sense.

 

[JT3]

The only point where I thought he really messed up was Compher's first goal where Hutson got lost way up near the point. The sequence with Larkin circling the zone, Hutson was doing fine keeping him to the outside until Gallagher pretty much threw a pick on his own teammate (Hutson) and allowed Larkin to get away. I didn't feel like he put himself in many positions to be pushed around or anything like that.

Obviously there will be some risk to come with his reward and there will certainly be times where he will get pushed around, but I'm confident he's got a big enough hockey brain that he will find a way to be competent enough defensively to succeed.

FTFY

 

[jj cale]

looking dangerous here early on tonight.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

So you've never watched Hutson before tonight? His defensive issues aren't some new thing lol.

Why was he the highest minute dman on Team USA's gold winning team at the WJHC? Far more minutes than the defensive liability known as Seamus Casey.

 

[Fatass]

Really like what I’m seeing (in both games) from LH. He’s very very smart and that is key for him. Habs should get Chris Tanev to play with him. Pay him whatever but get him. Perfect partner for LH imo.

Because it's a junior tournament. Hutson is not a good defensive player. This is only controversial for Habs homers who are super insecure about their prospects.

Yeah, its a tournament that is best on best for junior aged players. The best indicator of a junior players capabilities. He was the most relied upon junior player on a gold medal winning team. If he was poor defensively, that would not have happened.

Defense was not an issue and has not been an issue in college hockey. He will require an adjustment to the NHL for sure. As would all D+2 dmen.

Well he was very poor defensively in that tournament, especially in the first half. He was legitimately awful the first 2-3 games.

But being a blind homer, you probably didn't see that.

Except he wasn't. Just a NJD fan trying to justify not selecting him over Seamus Casey! LOL

Lane Hutson also led Team USA by playing an average of 23:58 per game, which was nearly 3:00 more than the next closest American. Hutson totaled over 167 minutes of TOI in the tournament, nearly 20 minutes more than his next closest teammate.

 

[BMacLeafs]

I watched some clips on YouTube to get a look...it's amazing how the weak university league is where hutson can skate thru 5 players and put the puck on net. if he tries that in the NHL, he'll get a forearm 2 the face.

Pretty funny to see notorious habs hater commenting about Hutson defensive ability
