During his news conference, Ducharme made a statement that drew attention and questions.
Jonathan Drouin might return to the lineup for his team's next game, but it would depend on how he felt.
Reporters questioned him if he had the doctors' OK, and he said yes.
Drouin, not the team's physicians, decides not to return to the lineup right now. Nobody knows how many games the doctors have cleared him to play, but Ducharme is now putting pressure on his player to return. Some think he's acting irresponsibly.
But, during the coaches press conference, he was hinting Drouin to get back in action already.
Not really sure why he's pressuring him? So what if he's back? Sorry but it's not like he's going to rally the team back up or go on a wicked scoring streak.
