 but it might also expose a player with defensive deficiencies to play against the opposition’s top lines alongside young linemates.
Drouin will more likely find himself on a line with Brendan Gallagher and newly acquired center Dvorak. In his introductory press conference, Dvorak stated he would like a playmaking winger. However, the key is to get the best out of Drouin. Whether the end goal is to keep or trade him, the team needs him to become a productive top-six player again, and this will be a very important season for him to get his career back on track.
What to Expect from Dvorak
Since he was acquired from the Arizona Coyotes, fans have wondered what to expect from Dvorak this season. His former NHL coach, Rick Tocchet, had this to say of the 25-year-old center:
“He’s a really good 200-foot player, he plays his own end very well. When he’s at his best, he scores goals around the net. If you watch a lot of his goals, it’s 15 feet out. He’s got that quick release, but he also gets a lot of rebounds and tip goals, too. Those are important goals. Those are hard to find, those type of players that are willing to go into the paint, into the middle of the ice a lot.”
–Rick Tocchet (Marc Antoine Godin, What the Canadiens should expect from Christian Dvorak: Breaking down his game with former coach Rick Tocchet,The Athletic, 13/9/21.)
The Canadiens have been looking for that style of play, especially on the power play, players who are willing to get to the front of the net and create problems for the opposition. He has also has experienced being matched up against some of the league’s best centres, like Anze Kopitar and Nathan MacKinnon, which means he should fill the role left by Danault. Hopefully, Dvorak can ease the defensive burden on Suzuki while providing more offence than Danault. If he can meet that high demand, then this trade will be applauded.
Matthias Norlinder Arrives
Montreal needs a left-handed, puck-moving defenceman. Most of the defensive corps is made up of defence-first, stay-at-home players, and while Alexander Romanov is expected to step up in that role in his second season, some TSN analysts have wondered if Mattias Norlinder can surprise and make the team this season to help fill that role.
Norlinder is a top prospect that the Canadiens are excited to see in action (translated from French):
“He (Norlinder) is one of our best prospects. There are some already in Montreal such as Kotkaniemi, Suzuki and Romanov. After them, he’s probably the one who has impressed us the most.”
– Marc Bergevin (Anthony Martineau, L’espoir du Canadien Mattias Norlinder pourrait être «très dangereux dans la LNH», Journale de Montreal, 20/4/21)
With Norlinder now under contract and arriving for development camp, fans will finally see how he can play in North America. He has the skill set to be a good second-pairing, puck-moving defenceman. He has solid mobility, offensive instincts and can make decisions quickly. He is expected to return to Sweden for another season; however, the 22-year-old may surprise management and force Bergevin’s hand into letting him remain on the NHL roster.

I had been thinking to create a way for nurses to meet to share the joys of pediatric nursing. “Only nurses who have wrestled with child nursing can earnestly feel the joy of nursing children, can’t they?” These opening words of the establishment prospectus of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Nursing were written in 1991 by myself, who became an avid promoter and representative with coworkers who also had had the same thought for many years.
We developed the Society with coworkers who shared the joy of pediatric nursing. Coworkers include nurses, who care for children in hospitals and clinics; researchers, who conduct studies on pediatric nursing with the aim of promoting excellent nursing; and nursing educators, who teach the joys of pediatric nursing to nursing students. Thirteen promoters attended the first small meeting in August 1991, and in a ceremony at the meeting, I was elected as the first president.
In February of the following year, the first congress was held. I felt much excitement with my coworkers, all of whom had been looking forward to such a congress in pediatric nursing. The congress was an unforgettable experience for me. The first society newsletter was actually made by hand, the face of the president was a handwriting illustration, not a photograph.
Both the board of directors and councilors were vibrant with life even though we participated in them at our own expense, and we really enjoyed meeting together. I worked for six years as chairperson and left the post upon retirement from university. Later, the Japanese Society of Pediatric Nursing became the Japanese Child Health Care Nursing Society, and the position of chairperson was renamed as president.
1999: renamed as the Japanese Society of Child Health Nursing and registered for Academic Organization at the 18th Science Council of Japan.
2013: turned into a General Incorporated Association.
The latest Monmouth University University/Gannett poll has Corzine’s job approval rating slipping from 51 to 46 percent. His disapproval went from 29 to 36 percent. He lost most of his support from Democrats, losing 17 percentage points in three months with them. A spokesman says the governor is concerned with “running an efficient, accountable and open government.” That may take a hit because of the secrecy over the plan to sell or lease state assets, the battle to keep secret e-mails between him and union leader Carla Katz during negotiations and saying with a straight face appointing Susan Bass Levin to the Local Finance Board wasn’t a scheme to keep her in the state pension plan while she makes big bucks at the Port Authority based in New York.
