GDT Game 82: VS Bruins, Thursday, April 13, 7PM EST (THIS IS THE END!)

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Those fucking idiots.

This is why we can't have nice things. Because too much importance is placed on meaningless things like winning Game #82 of a lost season.

our goals were from two AHL players and our 6th D

Pas d'excuses!

Finally over! Although I stopped watching a while ago.

I'm pleasantly surprised Drouin didn't mess anything up by scoring in the last minute.

 

[Habsy]

Drouin would look good in AZ or CBJ. Somewhere they don't care. The guy can still make unreal passes.

Spengler Cup here he comes!

Spengler Cup here he comes!

He should move to Switzerland and finish his career there. He can make decent money, never get hit very hard, and live in a very nice part of the world where, depending on which canton he's in, he is fluent in the local language.

Shit, I'd have been happy to have a pro hockey career played entirely in the Swiss league. I think any NHLer near the end of the line should go to Europe and play a year or two in one of the pro leagues there just for the experience (not the KHL, of course)

I would wager Drouin would be atop the leader board en Suisse

Easily. And he wouldn't have a scratch on him either maneuvering through those no-hit, Swiss cheese hole defenses on the big ice.

Drouin was partly the author of his demise, but he was also very unlucky with injuries.

He is a superb talent and, even if he was frustratingly inconsistent, he led the team in scoring the first couple of years. The last three years have been a disaster. Hopefully he can reboot his career and stay healthy.

 

[Hoiles]

I predict that after Bettman makes another excuse to pull out of the next Olympics, Drouin will pull a Crosby and score the OT gold medal goal for the non-NHL Canada team.

I'd venture he's never been the same since Ovechkin nailed him cutting to the middle. After that he never dared going anywhere near the net, not that it was ever his forte.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah, cutting to the middle…

They pay about 250k

They pay about 250k

Is that more than Harvey's pays?

 

[GEEMAN]

Is that more than Harvey's pays?

Even more than the franchisee

They pay about 250k

He's already made his money in the NHL. $250K is enough to live on, even in Switzerland.

and the cost to live in Switzerland is astronomical but I

only if you live in a low tax province like Alberta
