I’d like to start this text by asking you a question.
Whatever you choose, the Habs prospect is impressive on the ice despite his small stature, because he has enormous offensive potential. And when you see videos like the one below popping up on social networks, it’s only natural to get excited at the prospect of seeing him do some fancy footwork on the Bell Centre ice.
The young man wowed the gallery with the speed of his hands… Because it’s amazing how fast he moves, even though he’s a defenseman:

It’s majestic to see him navigate the obstacles with such ease.
It shows just how talented he is, because generally speaking, you don’t see many defensemen able to juggle the puck the way he does with such disconcerting ease.
He’s part of the new wave of talented defensemen in the National League, and everyone saw him do it in his first two games in a Habs uniform.
Hutson was excellent in the last two duels of the season against the Detroit Red Wings, and that’s why it’s hard to set expectations for the 24-25 season right now.
The sample size is small… But if he can perform like he did at the end of last season, one thing’s for sure: the Habs’ games are about to get really interesting.
And that’s without mentioning the addition of Patrik Laine…
Overtime
– Great game!

– Draisaitl wanted to think of himself first with the signing of his monstrous contract.
Draisaitl spoke with McDavid during process but added he has to do what’s best for him when it’s his time: “I did what’s best for me, personally. Do I hope Connor follows (and signs his extension), of course. Obviously, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want him to stick around.” pic.twitter.com/BJsMUgGIHI

– The Habs hopeful is happy.
“That was a dream for all of us…being part of that draft & getting selected was fantastic, After that, I locked in on my training & that’s basically all I did the rest of my summer.”

– Simply magnificent.
In preparation for an upcoming tribute and with a concert at the Saddledome tonight, we will be relocating a portion of the Gaudreau Memorial.
Moving forward, we encourage fans to use the grassy area immediately to the north of the stairs.
Thank you
