This sugar-coats things somewhat. 2 goals, in spite of a pretty decent number of assists, was downright atrocious...he was blowing a couple of grade-A scoring chances just about every game. Add that to his constant turnovers, the pillow-soft nature of his game, and cluelessness in his own end....and the man deserved his fair share of critique. The view through rose-colored glasses due to sympathy doesn't fly with me....and FFS that whole Quebecois angle is downright sickening. A player who's playing so shitty he's hurting the team deserves to be treated a certain way by coaches and fans alike, no matter their name or where they are from. Whether you are a Drouin or a Gomez SHOULD NOT MATTER; until that's true, this team will continue to fail. No premium, nor penalty, should be placed on any player because they are French Canadian. Drouin was overvalued in trade because of his name, and was grossly overpaid because of his name...that was a problem. But the ass-kicking he's taken for playing terrible hockey over much of this season? That was in line with what Galchenyuk and Gomez got before him, so fair game IMO.
