Hope it will be ok, I'm still a believer.
Feel better Jonathan.

Even the Habs where obliged to write it on Twitter... In what world do we live ?Can’t believe that needed to be said
I'm not a doctor but if he is suffering from depression it doesn't really matter if he plays in Montreal or in Arizona.
I wish him all the best. It's hard being a Franco in this city and Drouin's been as much a target as anyone I've seen not named Brisebois. I mean, I'm a Habs fan and want to see the best from the players, but they're all human in the end and you can't but feel for then when they go through rough patches.
I get it. Being in the spotlight is not for everyone.There's quite a bit of a gap between the abuse Drouin received and discussing player performance.
Some people on social media are quite vicious.
Drouin strikes me as a guy that reads press articles and goes on social media to read about himself. After so much negativity it probably got to him mentally. I could tell in his body language there was something not right. In the end, hockey players are humans too. Just hope he gets through it.
FWIW - There have been rumors making the rounds, there’s been abuse directed at Drouin’s parents.I wish him all the best.

Although I'm all for player privacy we had this situation last year with Rask, where no statement was released when it would of been really simply to clarify and it just resulted in a lot of preventable resentment and hate sent his way.
Ive looked at the clip where he leaves the warmup and it looks to me its not Jo who says he can't go, its Graham who tells him something. My guess is that its a family matter. Take care 92
I definitely agree that for non-hockey related stuff that privacy is key and it should be the player's discretion as to what gets released.But why exactly are we entitled to know private information? I can’t call your company and ask why you’re on an extended leave of absence. Why is it different for players?
Oh god brisebois.... He was so much ridiculed during his last years with MTL and after that at TVA sport..... Really suck for him cause he seems like a genuine human.I wish him all the best.

I think Theodore is in there too.
TQS sent a camera at his home once to make sure he wasn't faking an injury.

However what I think @Lolonegoal was trying to say is that there are some benefits to disclosure that the player should consider when these situations arise.
And even if he doesn't see any of this (realistically he never will) he is aware that this is what people think of him when he plays poorly and that they are quite vicious and hateful. It definitely eats away at a player. It's not about being "weak" mentally either. I'm willing to bet people have harassed him on the street as wellThere's quite a bit of a gap between the abuse Drouin received and discussing player performance.

That was so dumbI think Theodore is in there too.

How so? Let's just close this board then if we can't discuss players performances because it might hurt their feelings.
