25?! I bought a car off LaCombe in 1982, threw in a new battery, great man. Must be 40 something by now.
Team USA doesn't startle me in the slightest.
I personally have zero problem with Team USA not bringing the best team possible to the Olympics.
Maby in 4 years Hutson will wear a Canada jersey!
Do any of u stay up and watch the Ducks? Nope. Yet u spout off about LaCombe. Jackson is a stud, about time he gets his due.
Nedeljkovic got robbed too. He fights. They need a goalie who fights for the game against Canada! Ned fought Sergei bobrovsky and has Gordie howe hat trick (goal assist fight)
Bill gwayven mustn’t of liked the miss pronunciation of his last name by Hutsons father.
Surely this means Adam Wylde is secretly a part of Team USA's management team. Betraying his own nation in order to further spread his repugnant Ducks propaganda.
Team USA?! Shouldn't they be banned from the Olympics? (Not to mention the World Cup)
Literally none of these stats make your point at all. LaCombe is -2 and Hutson is +18……. so on top of being a better player on point totals(by 20 points) hes also a better defensive player…. If Hutson was a Leaf you'd be losing your mind over this snub.
Hutsons defense numbers are better than LaCombes
You're soooo wrong on this. Lane Hutson far superior.
I’m so fn sick of gambling ads. Fn draft kings and bet 365 everywhere you look.
Hutson has better defensive metrics btw over lacombe.
Hutson won’t even be the next injury replacement and he shouldn’t be
You are correct sir. LaCombe is 5 inches taller and 40 lbs heavier. He is a penalty killer and fits the needs of the team while still being able to move the puck and skate well. He has been contributing offensively and putting up decent points too. Go back and watch Miracle or Moneyball and see some insights into building a TEAM instead of just putting together some all-stars and hoping for the best.
So glad LaCombe is on the team and not Hutson. The Olympic break will do wonders for Hutson's performance for the last games of the season and for the playoffs.
Interesting if playing in the iihf WC matters. Lane played a full season and would have been a late add to the team last spring. Lane played at the u18 u20 and WC for the US in 2022/2023. It’s probably more of a size and usage thing which puts LaCombe over Hutson. Lane has a sneaky good defensive game and has played on the PK but I think there is a misconception that he is all offense, no defense.
definitely taking Lacomb over Hutson . the fit is obvious
typical Torontonian saying Hutson isnt good enough pfffffff (Sarcasm)
US strong contender for 4th!
Lacombe is very good. Lane Hutson is an exciting player. I think LaCombe is a good player on a bad team. He has good underlying numbers.
It’s the right call.
Quinn Hughes already plays the position Lane would like.
Lanes dad ruined it for him with public statements.
Billy G won’t be bullied.
Lacombe is big, defensively suited, and can play offence as well.
Robertson not playing is the real conversation.
whats with the frontenacs sweater ~ whats the connection ~ used to live in kingston & was on video broadcast crew for the team for 10 years ~ got to see alot of players in junior ~ stamkos staals jeff carter +
