[Engels] I asked Mike Matheson about the risk he and Lane Hutson must play with to access the highest end of their respective skill sets…

3. Funny part about his own quote is that his most frustrating plays are taking shots that cant hit the net and end up on the glass, especially on the powerplay.

4. Guy has the best offensive season for the habs since Markov in 2009 and all people can do is bitch about turnovers.

   Like fucking christ he’s not Cale Makar, let’s all grow up.

   Guy eats 25 min a night to shelter our young guys. There’s gonna be some mistakes. Watching this subreddit constantly bitch about matheson has been the most frustrating part of this season for me.

5. Matheson will look even better next year when everyone’s one year older, and the talent is spread out to Hutson and hopefully Mailloux.

6. Honestly Matheson has been amazing this season, the only grind I have with him is his decisions making in overtime but that’s it haha 😂

7. Bro has advocacy skills

8. It’s not like Matheson is the reincarnation of a certified defensive liability such as Sandis Ozolinsh.

9. Matheson is an unbelievable player. The hate we see about him is some the worst non hockey knowing bullshit from this fan base.

10. I have no problem with Matheson, in fact I quite like him. He’s fun to watch and we’ve lacked an offensive D-man like him for a while. Keep doing your thing Mike

11. It’s a minority of the fan base that simply yells louder than others. We love Matheson, just like how we loved Carey Price although we always heard people complain about his contract while he played. Oh, and Matheson’s contract is a huge bargain.

12. Contrary to popular opinion, he also plays good defence. Blocks shots, eats massive minutes against top opposition. Dude has been almost elite.

13. TL;DR: fans like us don’t know shit about what makes a good hockey player.

14. Andy is deserved but the other 2 play their hearts out and i dont get it how they can get any hate, especially matheson who is carrying our d core

15. Don’t listen to the idiots Mike . Every team has moron fans and we have our share !!!

16. Here’s an interesting scenario: Matheson on the ice for 24 minutes, Hutson on the ice for 21 minutes, whoever else on the left for 16. That’s a long fucking 45 minutes with a serious scoring threat on the blue line. How many teams can manage that kind of opposition?
