As the Canadiens’ season drew to a close, the club’s players went before the cameras to talk about what’s been going on in Montreal over the past few months.

Obviously, seeing the club make the playoffs was a game-changer.

And clearly, the playoff atmosphere in Montreal has energized the group. Lane Hutson, who had never experienced anything like it before in field hockey, raved about the atmosphere. He hopes it’s a glimpse of the future.

Hutson didn’t get too far ahead of himself on the idea of signing long-term, but you can sense he’s not against the project – at the right price, of course.

But clearly, his priority is to improve and progress with the club. He knows that other youngsters will be arriving and he wants to continue to progress with the existing core.

That core includes the power play, which he sees being one of the best in the league one day.

Clearly, we weren’t expecting anything negative from Hutson this morning, and the picture he painted of his club’s season reflects what we’ve seen on the ice this season.

But what’s next for his off-season?

Hutson hasn’t closed the door on representing the U.S. at the World Championship in the coming weeks. In fact, the dynamic defenseman says he’s undecided at the moment.

On the one hand, his priority must be the CH. But on the other, representing his country is always interesting. And if he wants to give himself a chance of going to the Olympics, playing for the Americans in the spring is a good idea.

To be continued.
