Lane Hutson has officially identified another person responsible for the Montreal Canadiens’ overtime loss against the Carolina Hurricanes.
And two veteran players absolutely do not agree with his analysis.
While everyone is pointing the finger at the referee as the reason for the loss, the young star defenseman chose the exact opposite approach.
‘It would be nice to be up 2-1 but we’re not because of me so it’s frustrating but you just gotta battle, battle ’til the end.'”
The young Hutson was extremely hard on himself.
Lane Hutson personally takes responsibility for the loss despite support from teammates
“He’s been great all playoffs so I’m not surprised he battled so hard. Sucks that I just blew it for him but it is what it is.”
During postgame interviews, several veteran teammates wanted to publicly set the record straight.
For Lane Hutson, it is an attitude that deserves to be highlighted.
The young star defenseman could have blamed the referees like so many other players would have been tempted to do.
Several fans on social media are already pointing toward the officiating.
But Hutson chose the exact opposite approach.
He is taking all the responsibility for the loss onto his shoulders, even though he absolutely should not be doing that.
For Martin St-Louis, it is also probably a situation that will need to be handled carefully over the next few hours.
The Quebec-born head coach will need to make sure Hutson does not carry the full weight of the loss on his shoulders.
Now it remains to be seen how the Canadiens will respond in Game 4 at the Bell Centre.
And whether Lane Hutson will use this difficult experience to deliver an even more spectacular performance in front of his fans.
