Forward Jonathan Drouin will take an indefinite leave of absence from the team for personal reasons.

He was placed on long-term injured reserve by the club. We ask everyone to respect his privacy.

bizarre tweet from the Habs about Drouin..

Drouin on LTIR for personal reasons...sounds serious

Sounds like mental health problems to me.

Not like hockey players are immune from it.

Drouin is a polarizing player yes.

Lots of talent, never could find the needed consistency in his game.

And was just flat out awful the last month and a half.

Habs fans will eat you alive.

i'd be surprised if it was mental health issues tbh.

the pressure in MTL must be quite something to deal with, where everything is amplified all the time.

yeah but this season... there's no one in the building, players face the media by video, and far less frequently than ever before. and i'm pretty sure none of them are on Hockeybuzz or seeking out the opes in Journal de Montreal.

i just think the odds are more likely that it's a physical illness of some kind.

Sounds like a case of "get me the (frank) outta this town-itis".

In all seriousness I hope everything is ok with him

rather odd to "ask for privacy" and not divulge any information if that's the case

Meh, Toews pretty much did the same. To this day, we don't know exactly what's wrong with him.

Well that's not for us to judge.

What if the guy caught an STD? I'm sure he'd rather this stays on the down low.

i honestly skim those parts because it's generally the same people repeating things they've already said a million times. i delve into the fun stuff with reckless habandon though.
