Canadiens weekly notebook: An awkward milestone, an endorsement for Lane Hutson and more
New York TimesThe time between the moment Trevor Letowski found out he was about to become an NHL head coach on Friday evening in Calgary and the moment he became a winning NHL head coach for the first time on Sunday night might have only been nine days, but it must have felt much longer than that. I always saw NHL players going to play that when the season’s done and always thought it was a cool idea, just a bunch of random NHL players going to play … just meeting a bunch of guys around the league and playing together.” For anyone on the Canadiens sitting on the fence, it might be worth listening to what Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers had to say about his experience at the event last year. “I didn’t know much about Monty going into the tournament, but I found out pretty quick he was a very good goalie,” Myers said. And he’s showing this last year that he’s stepping in and doing very well.” Quinn Hughes knows which Canadiens prospect is compared to him. “It’s a really good question, there’s a lot of challenges, and I feel like it takes a couple of years to really step into what you think you can be as a player,” Hughes began.
