Player Discussion Jonathan Drouin----Nothing burger edition.

[azcanuck]

Wow, that's a sobering statement coming from you. You are usually quite bullish about all things Habs.

For you to have soured on Drouin is quite telling. Sadly, we were all hoping for better but sometimes you just have to accept that the player can't be what he isn't no matter how many videos he watches in the summer or what he might say in a scrum.

It's too bad because i like a french player doing well in Montreal. He's an artist.
But he reminds me of the guy with pink hair in the coffee shop sipping on soy lattes. Does beautiful art pieces but is easily frightened by life. You just know he doesnt have it in his DNA to be strong enough.
Thats Drouin and the pink haired coffee shop artist.

Pour mes amis québécois, voilà pour fermer la paranthèse... On se pogne le beigne? On ne met pas le nez dans l'traffic? Ben vas-y goûte à ta propre médecine à la montréalaise dorénavant. Tu récoltes ce que tu as sémer.

ahmedou rides again! Welcome back, when did you get out of the asylum?

Wow, I never knew. I just thought that he was a spoiled brat.

Invisible I was as JD...

Well would you look at that....

 

[Mrb1p]

Change the thread title, HE WAS A FREAKING SUPERSTAR TONIGHT.

 

[frapp10]

He was great tonight

Change the thread title, HE WAS A FREAKING SUPERSTAR TONIGHT.

I’m not changing it just yet.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Oh god. You guys are building him up just to tear him down again.

A positive game but it’s empty praise just to rip on him next week.

Still need more from him.

 

[Michoulicious]

That effort on the Kotkaniemi goal, great sequence. Had an excellent game tonight.

 

[sandviper]

Credit where credit is due. He played well tonight. Let’s see if he can play with this level of effort more consistently.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Liked his game.

But can we stop using him at the blue line on the PP.

 

[the]

I will give him some credit...Drouin played really well tonight

 

[OnTheRun]

He came to play tonight and it need to happen a whole lot more. Not just once a week or once a month.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He plays like this 85% of the season I'll take it.

 

[Andrei79]

It's likely not realistic to expct this every game, but if he can do it more often than not, he'll be the guy we traded for. He looked like a superstar tonight.

Liked his game.

Tough part is that we don't really have another LS with strong passing ability that has experience playing the point. I think he'd be better at the half wall, but it's a bit of a numbers game IMO.

Your other main options are Mete and Kulak. MAYBE Kotkaniemi, but I don't love the idea of him being the main guy back and he's got no experience there.

 

[Justin11]

Great game by Drouin tonight, hope he keeps it up.

 

[ahmedou]

When you're on this mode I like you more than yourself. Don't get lost. Every games is a final for you.

 

[Habs178]

Omg this so much! Gonna use him, use him on the half wall.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Made some nice passes, if only Armia could finish. -_-

 

[webersshot]

I don't see the game but seen highlights. Holy f*** this kid cannot be given up on yet. I know he's not gonna do this every game but jeeeeeesus. Imagine this guy in the playoffs in Montreal

 

[Runner77]

One game. Now JD, carry it forward to the next. Baby steps.

 

[HuGort]

Great game by Drouin tonight, hope he keeps it up.

Good to hear. Never seen the game but all bad rap he has been taking on here I thought his career was done here. But it is hockey in Montreal. Everything is overblown. Bad or good

 

[BenchBrawl]

Told you guys. Got laughed at.

Drouin needs to blow up à la Guy Lafleur in 1975 for us to be true contenders in the upcoming window. If he does, it changes EVERYTHING about the lineup.
