I don't know if this had anything to do with his injury, but every game it seems the opposition goes out of their way to take runs at Drouin. Been that way since at least he got here. I'm not sure why.

He's an effective player to target physically, but they run him more than guys like Mikko or even Nate.

Even ERod the other game took a late shot at him that forced Jo to get up slowly and then give him an uncharacteristic hard shove in the back out of anger.

I'll never understand blaming trainers/doctors for players getting hurt during games.

That's like blaming the repairman after you crash your car.
You can't blame a repairman if you crash your car. However, if you crash your car and bring it to a shop so they will fix it for you, then drive away and the wheel comes off on a highway and you crash again, is that your fault or the mechanic's fault?

Maybe it's just bad luck. Maybe the altitude effects recovery time. Maybe the staff misdiagnoses our players and gives them wrong instructions how to rehab? Who knows.

So if you bring your car to the repair shop for engine work, and 4 days/games after using it, the engine is broken again, you don't blame the mechanic?

The conditioning staff and medical staff are definitely sus and should be re-evaluated.

You both need to re-read what I said.
