Rob Hutson has found a way to get people talking about him this week, anyway. He’s no doubt realized that saying publicly that his son, beloved by Montreal Canadiens fans, could play for Team Canada is an eeeeeeexcellent way to get people talking about him. In Montreal, people were already up in arms over his exclusion from the U.S. Olympic observation camp. And let’s just say that the father (who’s just as angry, if not more, than the Montreal fans) has added fuel to the fire. Let’s put itthis way, and there’s one guy who’s jumped on the bandwagon: Brad Marchand. The Panthers player, who recently took part in the Four Nations Confrontation representing Canada, has an opinion on the situation.

[content-ads]Basically, on a post related to the topic of Rob Hutson’s statements about his son, Marchand wrote that we should “keep this guy in check” in comments. Basically, to keep someone “in check” means to keep him under control, or prevent him from becoming too powerful. You might think that Marchand is talking about Lane, but the truth is that he’s probably talking about Rob, Lane’s father, who has simply talked too much publicly.After all, I don’t see why Marchand would say that against Lane.

Everyone’s starting to wonder just how far Lane Hutson’s father is taking things, which would be a problem for the future. Oh, by the way: Lane Hutson recently filed his papers to represent the United States at the Olympics. If he’s selected, he’ll be playing for his country. spacer title=’en rafale’]- The Blue Jays had a close
