I would say the same of drouin because I believe his passion for the game is hard to match I know that's statements a little controversial on here because he does appear to glide a bit at times but I remember the way hockey people would describe Crosby and say how he would find ways to take a shift off while taking a shift or something along those lines. I'm not comparing drouin to Crosby lol but I'd say he's of the same mold at least in the aspect. Hes just there for a bit but when he gets that burst back he does so much for the offence and he knows that's his biggest contribution though I must say his defensive game is has drastically improved Kid has something special and I think if we're patient well get to see it soon enough. I think there's another gear there and he's really going to Wow all of us
Not really. Not every player can play defensive assignments. Not every player is coachable. Some players float more than others or take shortcuts.
I'm just being realistic, he has some qualities.

1. Hating on Danault has been pretty trendy for a good month on HF habs
2. Watching the games and hearing Danault speak yes I would say he does play with pride. He takes his defensive assignment seriously and you will never see him pout or not give 100% effort. He is also french and yes I think he actually is proud to play for the habs as a Quebecer wich is something less common nowadays. Of course I am not in the room and I dont know the guy personally but thats the take I got on him from watching and hearing him.
The only reason why he gets so much hate around here is because of his birthplace... very sad, yet too common.

Still has To score one more to tie the great Eller(4 goal game)
You took such a flukey time to talk about Danault lol
First career hat trick, good for him. I don't see many in his career so hope he enjoys his Xmas gift.

You're trying way too hard, Dummy. Discuss players in good faith or GTFO with that garbage.
Hardly...it's because is a 3rd line centre, who gets too much TOI most nights...a 3 goal game does not change that. He is a perfect, 3rd line centre, who can kill penalties. Nothing wrong with that....
I agree with that poster, the vast majority of players give it their all every night. I think “effort” is probably the most misunderstood aspect of players.

I said:
He responded saying 99% of players do this and now you agree.
99% of players are coachable, take defensive checking assignments and aren't floaters?
By no means am I suggesting it's an elite category but nah...not everyone can do this well.
It doesn't include Danault chips in offense as well.
So yeah, you're focused on effort portion but he replied to entire post of mine saying 99% of players do it. That's just not true.
Don't think I will ever criticize this player for work ethic.
He's a good piece to have as a complimentary player. He's a professional, does his job, comes to play, plays where coach asks him. I know a lot of players do this but Danault is no different. He's a low maintenance player who provides obvious benefits. He's far from untouchable but for now he's very useful to us.
