nice to see him back in the ice, if it was as bad as daters said he wouldn’t be out there.

But, it’s been 18 months now since the surgery, and he isn’t any closer to returning. If it’s not close now, I don’t see how it will ever be.

I wonder if they heard the whispers about never seeing him out there and decided to do this.

Honest take is looks very timid and ginger from the handful of videos out there. Not much different than what we've seen previously. Which is disappointing as I'd expect him to be picking up the intensity at this point.

No... this was the plan. I posted what I heard this last go round and you'll see this fits exactly with that.

If he's not back by TDL, we won't see him in the regular season at all.

The question then becomes do they spend his cap hit and become villains of the playoffs?
Maybe they’ll just inject him full of pain meds and run him in the playoffs.

Drouin is on the route of coming back soon. What did you expect. He had his ribs cracked and he also had a collapsed lung. I hope that Drouin is a non smoker because it would be very difficult to smoke with a collapsed lung.
Where the f*** did you read that he had a collapsed lung? Do you know how serious that is?

Avs are always keeping things secretive. For all we know Drouin might not even have cracked ribs. Who knows.

Yeah, I just realized that it was a really bad joke. Sometimes in the office when we had surprise Bday parties I came out and always gave away the surprise. I even got warned not to do that as it messes up the whole surprise. Sometimes when we hang out I get comments from my friends "did he just say that" or "wow, did he really say that" I can hear them whisper. Sometimes my buddies are even asking me "do you think before you say something or just say it anyways". Last New Years eve one of my good friends invited me to a house party. I usually don't drink a lot but when I started drinking and told my friend in the kitchen Why are you going to marry your short dark hair girlfriend, you can find yourself a taller blonde as you are 6"4'. His girlfriend heard what I was saying and only weeks later did I found out that she was crying because I got a little drunk and said something stupid. He wound up never marrying her even though he was dating her for years. She never spoke to me again. But I am now really starting to learn that you have to think about what you are going to say before just saying it.

You sound like the guy in the office where somebody says “hey where’s the stapler” well @AvsMakar08 ate the staples and shoved the stapler up his ass.

You should just get a tourette syndrome diagnosis and roll with it.

I enjoyed the story lol
