When we say that it's the little details that can make a huge difference in a hockey game, Lane Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens proved it once again.
Watch Lane Hutson's hand carefully, just before he made his brilliant pass on Cole Caufield's tying goal...
It's no coincidence that young Hutson had ice on his hand during his post-game press conference... He clearly hurt his hand while making that famous stop on the sequence that led to Caufield's goal!
However, after taking literally less than 0.5 seconds to realize he was hurt, Hutson forgot about it, immediately got back to work, made an absolutely incredible pass to Caufield, and we all know what happened next!
A subtle move by Lane Hutson that made a huge difference!
Imagine if Lane Hutson had shaken his wrist for a second or two because it hurt - the window would have completely closed, and the passing lane to Cole Caufield might have been blocked.
The details!
"Honestly, might be play of the season right there
Hutson saves an empty net, even if it may hurt a little bit, full focus, passes it sul' tape a ti-Cole, rips it, dans l'net
Even though Lane Hutson was hurt, as soon as he lifted his head and spotted Caufield (open), his incredible hockey instinct kicked in and he did what needed to be done.
