Montreal Canadiens loss to CBJ conceals real story: Lane Hutson and Juraj Slafkovsky were DOMINANT
Episode 1482
Monday, 17 November, 2025
Montreal Canadiens lose in overtime to Columbus, but the underlying numbers tell a winning-caliber story. Should fans celebrate a loss that showed dominant 5-on-5 play?We break down why the Canadiens' performance against the Blue Jackets represents real progress despite the final score. The analysis covers Juraj Slafkovsky's physical dominance after his line change, Lane Hutson's exceptional defensive performance that doubled his teammates' advanced metrics, and Mike Matheson's renewed excellence alongside Noah Dobson. Key discussions include why the team controlled 70% of expected goals at 5-on-5, the failed Zach Bolduc experiment on the top line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, and necessary roster adjustments including potential waiver claim John Beecher. The hosts examine Jakub Dobes' goaltending, Ivan Demidov's chemistry with Slafkovsky, and why focusing on process metrics matters more than results for a developing playoff contender.Discover why the advanced stats reveal a completely different game than the scoreboard showed.0:00 Intro1:06 Positive reaction to overtime loss3:50 Canadiens controlled play at 5-on-57:36 Evaluating Dobes' solid goaltending performance10:11 Slafkovsky and Hutson shine despite result13:38 Slafkovsky drives second line effectively17:21 Lane Hutson's dominant five-game score performance20:03 Hutson's positioning and defensive instincts24:11 John Beecher waiver claim possibility26:16 Top line struggles and lineup adjustments29:01 Improved offensive zone cycle gameSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!RugietVisit https://rugiet.com/LOCKEDONNHL to get 15% off your first order.GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.
