Lane Hutson has quickly become a fan favorite among Montreal Canadiens supporters.

However, it seems he’s bothering fans of opposing teams, who haven’t held back on social media in mocking him.

Lane Hutson Mocked

Recently, several users on the X platform, ironically commented on a TVA Sports post showcasing an impressive sequence by the young defenseman.

«They mocked his head fakes, his habit of skating around the perimeter, his tendency to abandon the blue line to join the attack, and the lack of concrete results from his extravagant maneuvers.»

Well, since then, Lane scored his first NHL goal! In fact, he scored his first career goal in the NHL just a few hours after these harsh comments.

A great way to throw it back in their faces!

Lane has amassed 23 points in 32 games this season, putting him on pace for 59 points over 82 games, an incredible achievement for a 20-year-old defenseman.

Yes, Hutson has an unorthodox playing style, and that seems to bother many, as evidenced by these comments.

It’s also true that the rookie’s plays often end in failed sequences, but is that really his fault or due to the lack of talent from his teammates?

You also have to understand Canadiens fans, who haven’t had much to cheer about in years.

Finally seeing an offensive defenseman of Hutson’s caliber in the lineup can be very exciting, and we’re taking any positivity we can get right now!

Go Lane!

A nice Calder Trophy, awarded to the rookie of the year in the NHL, would certainly help silence more critics of the young defenseman.
