Drouin

"its 4 -1 Stl, they are sitting back. Time for me to try"

 

[Aspirine]

Paddington laying the bricks.

 

[NobleSix]

Wow Drouin's peewee dekes actually worked for once

 

[OldCraig71]

How is my man alzner ??

Despite his time off he has picked up right where he left off.

 

[IcemanTBI]

Why does it say mick on the ref’s shoulder?

Honoring Mick Mgeough who passed away in November

 

[zx81]

Well that was a nice rush by Drouin ..
We can't finish

 

[Maliki2]

And once again the other teams goalie stops everything, while our goalie...is "chill" in net.

 

[OldCraig71]

Galchy and Patch trades.

Oh, so now a gm should be nominated for an award for simply doing his job.

 

[sandysan]

I didn't see the slash in real time

 

[Mrb1p]

These guys gotta stop passing in the box... passing to a player between four guys is so dumb.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Drouin in a nutshell

 

[Goldenhands]

lol Drouin...

 

[HuGo Sham]

yeah this team is shit. bargain bin needs to sell off several of these pieces regardless of if we battle for 8th for another 30 games

 

[Koivu11]

Have we scored a 5 on 3 goal yet this season?

 

[sandysan]

Drouin

"its 4 -1 Stl, they are sitting back. Time for me to try"

The pp means one less guy to ty to stickhandle through

 

[Maliki2]

Drouin with stupid passes...f*** this guy!

 

[kgboomer]

Nice drive by Drouin

Did he steal somebody's car?

 

[zx81]

Still no 5 on 3 or 4 on 4 goal this season.
Pretty sad.

 

[sandysan]

Have we scored a 5 on 3 goal yet this season?

I think one

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Most of these guys were early to late 30s. Physical prime is late 20s-early 30s, so it is possible that Armia still gets better. At worst he shouldn't regress for a good 5 years.


Look at my post history, I'm no fan of Drouin. I was even making comparisons with Alexander Svitov a couple years ago. With that said, he's a 50ish point guy. When he hits is physical prime in 4-5 years, he should at least be able to get 60ish points even if he still remains the type of player he is today.



Even if he can only get to maintain a somewhat similar pace to this year (with a constant pace instead of that super hot start then cooling down), he'll get better just by being a more physical threat.



A lot of bottom 6 guys, but Kotkaniemi, Domi and Drouin are young top 6 guys. Gallagher is still a young guy at 26, but his hands injuries worries me. Lehkonen and Armia are young top 9 guys with top6 potential (although Armia probably tops as a very good middle 6 guy). Then you have guys like Ylonen, Poehling, Ikonen and Suzuki that all predict as top 6/middle 6 guys. We just need some prospects to boom instead of bust (like they have in the 2008-2011 period) and we're in a good shape.

Ill tell u 1 thing Treb ,

About Gallagher , I love gallagher is probably the best habs on ice for last 3 years. Hes always playing with everything he has.

But hes very limited in skills , We need to make a decision with him. Because in 3-4 years this guy will be drained out

 

[TheBuriedHab]

This team misses Shaw

 

[Whitesnake]

Oh, so now a gm should be nominated for an award for simply doing his job.

Yep. Actually if you suck one year before, and you seem to have been doing 2 very good trades....it's enough to be nominated for a trophy.

 

[Runner77]

Let's not trade Petry right folks???

 

[Mrb1p]

This team misses Shaw

Lol, I didnt even know he wasnt playing.

No theyre not missing Andrew f***ing Shaw.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Price looks happy!
