Team is frustrating to watch play so crappy this year; BUT, isnt as frustrating as watching pisspoor effort from Drouin game after game, when is he dressed.

I didn't see piss poor effort game after game when he played, so agree to disagree on this. I saw it last season, but I thought with the exception of a couple of games, he worked very hard this year.

BCHabnut Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Drouin is a second liner. His talent adds to the depth. Ideally he scores more goals for sure, but his playmaker ability and puck control have been missed since he left. Goal scoring was a bit of an issue for me, but the bigger issue for me were his high risk passes which failed and lead to goals against or high danger scoring chances. Some of his choices this year baffled me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 From the clips we've seen, Gallagher, Price and Danault look to be practicing hard and no limitations. Weber doesn't seem like he can use his left hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Any info on Evans yet? I think he missed half of the second and all of the third. im not even sure what happened to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Evans received a Weber shot on the wrist when screening the Leafs goalie. In the replay, he jumped to get out of the way and it is unclear how serious he got hurt (TVA) commentators said he got out for one more shift before calling it a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Kotkaniemi has taken armia's spot on the PP in practice today. This suggests Evans is out in game 2 and KK is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
