After he fakes and goes around the first Flyers player, he fakes him again to gain distance. Then at their blue line, he baits two Flyers away for crispy pass that leads to a clean shot.
God damn

Nah, he needs to level an unsuspecting Brad Marchand before I celebrate a new Subban.
Lavs1985
Stop comparing the two. Hutson is his own man.
Patient_Fan_1993
I love Hutson but let’s wait until he wins a Norris for the ‘improved’ Subban comments

Aside from being offensive defensemen, I don’t think Subban and Hutson could be more different. Subban was a bull, Hutson is a knife.
surebudd
His game is so much different than pk in every-way other than they enter the zone. I wish pk had a coach like msl who lets players make reads. Im so damn excited.

PK would have done the sequence a whole second faster most likely as athletically there is no comp between Hutson and PK, I don’t know who started that comparison but other than them both being offensively minded, there is nothing else similar to their game at all.
john4845
Well, he sure is active, and likes to be even as the leading forward
Let’s hope they keep someone like Savard as his pair, he clearly needs someone to back him up.

I’m obviously excited about Hutson, but his lack of strength and speed still worries me.
Frites_Sauce_Fromage
Let Hutson be Hutson.
He has a flamboyant and offensive style and we’re on the edge of our seats watching him as it was the case with Subban, but he plays a very different game in a different system at a different time…
It looks to me that he’s impressive to other hockey players by his uniqueness and creativity, and we’ll have to celebrate that to show him respect

Can we stop disrespecting Subban to prop up Hutson?
Hutson looks great, but Subban is the most electrifying defenseman I’ve seen wear a Habs jersey, while also bringing a physical aspect that Hutson never will. Subban also has the misfortune of having to deal with some of the shittiest most braindead coaches I’ve ever seen behind Montreal’s bench.

I hate overhyping prospects, but I really feel that “improved” is correct lol

Lane “Quinn Hughes” Hutson

**Subban**:
* Norris Trophy Winner * Two-time Norris Finalist * Two-time First Team All-Star * One Second Team All-Star * All-Rookie Team
Improved? I doubt it.

like subban if he was skating half speed maybe
ThatsExactlyIt
Hutson is his own player. I was a big Subban fan when he played, but these 2 are totally different players.

pk won a norris can u guys calm the fuck down a bit
bloodrider1914
Hutson doesn’t quite have the same pure anger level of PK. He’s is own thing.
hockeynoticehockey
I knew he was good, I read the same hype as everyone, and I also know it was “just” a preseason game, but I have very rarely seen a rookie be so dominant in a game, seemingly on every single shift.
I loved watching him and the team last night.
JediMasterZao
I don’t know man, Subban had a physical aspect to his game that Hutson could never dream to have, and Subban had a clapper for the ages, which I’ve not seen Hutson display at all in the last couple of years.
I think they’re going to be very different kinds of Ds.
ParkInsider
Who else does this? I haven’t watched Hughes and Makar much, but creating grade-A scoring chances out of thin air is something I only see McDavid do regularly. Sounds silly to say something like this but it’s my honest impression.
Deadmanlex45
He didn’t even hesitate a second to blind pass it to the other end after he entered the zone.
He knew in advance that someone would be there to pick it up.
He has eyes all around his head.
Edward_L_Norton
Subban always had a puck turnover cloud over him…Hutson does not look like this will be a problem?
PhilParent
I wish I could hear the crowd instead of the song but… yeah, great rush.
ApokatastasisPanton
With Lane Hutson, what I’m expecting is that he’s going to sometimes look not great in exchange for him making opposite teams look like complete idiots many, many times.
Late_Employee2871
Hutson is highly skilled, looks a lot like Quinn hughes more so than subban
DaZohan28
Let’s just tone it down on the improved yet
Kuwshi
Nice clip but if the opponents are actual NHL players playing at NHL speed, I don’t think he even crosses the red line.
barleymc
This is the play that got my attention. The Habs PP has been awful for years in large part because they can’t reliably enter the zone. Granted Hutson was playing against Flyers scrubs, but I didn’t see anyone else out there able to enter the zone and produce a Grade-A scoring chance like he did on that play. Now imagine he’s doing that with people who can finish, like Laine, Caufield and Slafkovsky. This is gonna be a good year (and more).
MileEnd76
He’s the most exciting defenseman since Subban. There is no way anyone could objectively say he’s an improvement at this point, it’s coo-coo.
Ok_Jackfruit3479
When he wins a Norris Trophy, and plays at least passable defense while simultaneously eclipsing PK’s point totals, you can call him “the new and improved Subban”. Until then, chill tf out. The fanboy hype is getting embarrassing.

He literally floats on the ice like a butterfly
