GDT: Canada vs Russia WJC New Years Eve-9pm EST

[donghabs98]

2-1 Canada after 1

[Bud2790]

Real solid 1st, but a terrible giveaway by Scheiffle cuts the lead in half.

[donghabs98]

A very fast pace 1st. Watching Yakupov just race down the ice that speed

[JGRB]

Drouin looks amazing.

Really hoping we get a chance to pick this guy, he'd look great next to Galchenyuk. Might even be able to save Gally from busting.

[Myron Gaines*]

I'm loving what I'm seeing from Boone Jenner so far.

Even more amazing. Nice goal.

Drouin!!!

This guy needs to be a Hab.

[habscup]

Huberdeau is a genius.

[S Bah]

Drouin has to be ours,this will give the Habs a great offence once more along with Mantha and Carrier.Great goal by the way Johnathan.

Agreed he would be perfect with the habs

[Hullois]

Wow, Drouin :drooling:

[TYLENOL]

So far it looks like boys against men in this game !!! Drouin looks good but i dont think the habs need him, i dont think hes a really strong player, the habs got enough fragile players.

[theboss]

ha drouin went to my high school one grade lower

[Monctonscout]

MacKinnon is looking like a baby out there, taking 2 useless penalities in frustration because he isn't scoring or getting prime ice time.

Please...in all your wisdom explain how he is a fragile player?

Apparently Drouin is built like a little tank and he's still packing muscle on in the off-season.

We also don't have enough players who can handle the puck and dominate offensively like he does.

Well, im saying that because he's small and i believe that in the NHL on a small team like the canadiens that is still going to lack size and strenght, a guy like drouin would be more of the same. Assuming we draft high, with the talent their is in the draft, a guy like Mackinnon or Barkov would suit the habs better. Size wins stanley cups, look at the bruins and the kings

Seems that we have....I'll get back to you on this though, can't find them so far.

At this rate, top 5.

Top 5, with a chance at Top 3.

Drouin looked great. What is impressive is that as a younger player he doesn't look out of place at all and is not being carried by anyone else. He's creating his own name out there.

We could be seeing a 2007 Pat Kane kind of situation, although there is more top talent in this draft. I think it's getting to the point where a team picking him #1 wouldn't be outrageous.
