Thread: lets see what bill can do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheLastOfUs</b></div><div>Oh I agree with you, I didn't like the trade to begin with (didn't like his attitude back then) but also I'm one of the rare ones who very rarely wants an actual Quebecor to play here, the media and fans rip them apart so horrendously....they think because they're from here that they should be the Habs Savior but that's not a reality lol I hope he get through whatever it is he needs to get through, and I do hope he gets traded somewhere for a fresh start.</div></div>

In 2001, I was sitting inside the Habs dressing room and I was waiting to go for lunch. The team was outside Quebec on away games. I saw a man tell his son to pretend he had cancer so they could get an empty roll of tape. I was speaking in English but understand perfect French and the man was speaking in French to his 10 year old kid. That is when it really hit me, how worshipped these players are and how unhealthy and unrealistic expectations are placed on the players and as you said the ones from Quebec.

I can see a world where Drouin requests a trade (This goes without saying that I hope that he gets through whatever he needs to get through and that he is okay.)</div></div>

I said two years ago Drouin would not do well in a Canadian and especially Quebec market. I also posted about it a month ago and gave the reasons why. I went into detail about it and people laughed at me. Then I posted it on Reddit and explained why and people not only laughed at me, they blocked me and banned me. It is hard for me to try and be normal on these types of sites when I have worked for the past 28 years on mental life coaching, I worked with Jonathan in 2013 when he was with the Mooseheads. I photocopied the cheque I was paid by the team to work with their athletes (off ice). So I knew Dru would not do well in that market. I actually reached out to him yesterday offering my confidential services to him. I will not say nor comment anymore about this, but I do know and recognize the patterns of people and this includes athletes as they are people first, hockey players second.
