Kyle Bukauskas

He seems like a guy that's checking all the boxes for someone who this city remembers for a long time, plays with emotion, doesn't back down from anyone.

And he flat out wins hockey games.

What a scene here on Sunday.

Not in the least.

Not six.

Can I, can I tell a quick Hudson story here before you continue?

So his first ever game in the NHL at the end of the season in Detroit, and we were doing the game was a Monday night when we still did the Monday night games, Alex Lackey.

Lyon actually told this story the other day because he was playing for the Red Wings at that time.

And so he remembers before the game, you know, going over video, they're like, all right, Montreal's got this kid, Hudson, playing his first game, like dump it into his corner, just pressure him, pressure him, pressure him, go at him, you know, like his first game in the NHL, he's going to be nervous.

And I guess after the first, you know, first period, guys are going at him and he's, you know, shifty around the ice, walking around, guys, first intermission, they get back in the room and they're like,

Yeah, maybe we don't pressure him that hard.

Maybe just try to contain.

Maybe contains the move here.

Let's not go right at him.

He seems to be okay with that.

That was excellent.

Yeah.

And it was the same thing.

Like after he scored his overtime goal against Tampa last round, uh, talking to him the next day and similar, just getting the breakdown of like, how on earth did you see an open there?

Cause remember there was that great freeze frame where it looked like there was 30 people in between him and Andre Vasilevsky.
