Bob Hartley Sends Clear Message to Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens: A Change Is Being Demanded
The exceptional Bob Hartley has delivered a clear message to the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Known for his fearless opinions and deep understanding of hockey, Hartley made a notable statement on RDS during the show On Jase.
The discussion centered around Lane Hutson, Kirby Dach, and the Canadiens' management's decision to aim for a playoff spot this season.
A Relevant Message from Bob Hartley
Here's the core of what he said:
«But, if that's the case for Dach, why isn't Hutson on the first power-play unit?
Because when the Canadiens are truly competitive, chances are Mike Matheson will no longer be with the team.»
«I don't want to be negative, but rather realistic. We can unplug the mixer, because we won't be in the mix there's simply not enough ingredients..»
- Bob Hartley
A change is clearly being called for, not just by Hartley but by many experts and analysts alike.
Lane Hutson needs to be placed on the top power-play unit.
Pierre McGuire also gave his opinion:
This will be a storyline to watch, but it's hard not to wonder what could be achieved if the Canadiens fully embraced Bob Hartley's sound advice.
We have an incredible hockey mind right here in town, and it's a shame he isn't more involved with the organization. That said, comments like these are bound to reach the ears of management, or so I'd think!
Do you also believe Lane Hutson should be on the Canadiens' top power-play unit?
