Phillip Danault: 'It’s like I never left.'

Danault is happy to have seen the members of the organization again.

He skated in Brossard yesterday, and he mentioned that too: being back in the Canadiens’ practice complex felt good. He feels at home, and that’s normal because he played here for six years before leaving for California.

So much the better, if he’s happy.

Seeing Danault smile again makes me wonder: can this help him get his game back, too?

We know he hasn’t had a great season so far, and that it’s been a bit complicated in Los Angeles. He hasn’t scored in 30 games this season and has only five assists to his name.

That’s not much. But if he gets his bearings back and comes back to Montreal, maybe that’ll help him unlock his potential…

It’s happened before, after all. Sometimes, a player just needs a change of scenery to get back to where he was, and I hope that’s going to happen with the Québécois.

At least, if it does… it would be a wicked good thing for Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens. Because it would help on so many levels too.

Overtime

– Nice.

– Enjoy your reading.

– Logical.
