Keep that hot hand going!

 

[Brie]

Drouin!!

 

[Lovethiscity]

one goal at a time

 

[wxkid23]

Ugly increasing the trade value

 

[Coopers Gum]

Daaaaaamn, Drouin! Back at it again with the making your head coach look like a ****ing moron!

 

[dechire]

Time to bench Drouin

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Carle is picking up assists here and there

 

[Brie]

The Habs have been really lucky this game, first on their 1st goal when Vasy was out of place and then they get a good goal against disallowed.

 

[These Are The Days]

Such a damn shame Johnson is out. Drouin is looking phenomenal

 

[Hoek]

Drouin obviously wants to be traded to Montreal.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

That was a disturbing replay

 

[FinnLightning26]

Daaaaaamn, Drouin! Back at it again with the making your head coach look like a ****ing moron!

Drouin has looked better in this dumpster fire of a game than he did for the most of his NHL career so far. The coaching staff finally drove the point of shooting more and going to the net to his head. This Drouin is 10000000x more dangerous than the previous version.

 

[DFC]

Drouin showing some passion in a game where the rest of the time isn't too interested in the comeback.

 

[FinnLightning26]

There he was coming back to help out on defense and throwing hits. Seems like he finally gets it.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Yes Habs fans, Olé like nothing is wrong

 

[wxkid23]

Drouin looks very good

 

[Leonardo87]

**** you Montreal.....enjoy playing golf next week!!!

 

[Brie]

Well, I'd say getting no new injuries and having Drouin and hopefully Palat heating up means more than a victory would.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Everybody on the plane.

 

[Lovethiscity]

word on johnson?

 

[dechire]

You mean aside from Johnson ?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

word on johnson?

Upper-body injury. That's all we know right now. Coaches get secretive too about injuries in the playoffs, so I doubt they say anything.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Watching this Drouin, I'm not so sure Cooper was wrong in being tough on him. Like Drouin said, he realized in his time off he needed to shoot more and work hard every shift. He's doing that right now and I have 0 doubt in my mind Cooper is happy to play him a lot more. Remember when Tocchet was scratching Stamkos in his rookie season and him coming out from it a much better player? Same could be happening with Drouin now.

He "got it" for a long time. The only real difference is he has more of a shoot-first mentality. He was never lazy on the backcheck. His positioning was, and is, questionable at times, but he was always putting in the effort on D.

Except this improvement occurred during the period when Cooper had absolutely no influence on him.
