Some players falter in high-pressue environments and thrive in less-pressure environments. Maybe Latendresse is one of those players? Maybe not.

Right now we're looking for him to produce as a guy who makes much more. What is Latendresse right now? A league min player who has loads of potential, and lots of problems. While I've been fairly good to Andri Kost. He is one guy who absolutely needs to produce now that he's back on the top lines. Lets not forget that Lats makes just about the league minimum.

Intill then he will be taking up a roster spot from someone who deserves it. If by some miracle he does turn out to be the next john leclair,trust me i will me the first one to admit i was wrong but i dont think i am wrong on this one.

LeClair left when he was 26 and up until that time only scored 46 goals, never 20 in a season. Latendresse has scored 46 goals in his first three years and now at age 22 he is struggling and being put on several different line combinations and is has also be on a struggling team for the last two years. Will he a ever be the power forward we are looking for probably but as long as my good friend pactum gets his way we may never find out at least as a hab.

Pretty low considering his intent is obviously aimed at cutting Price down to the benefit of his own client. Especially low considering that during a recent stretch where Halak played a string of consecutive games over Price, Carey publicly supported the decision to play the hot hand in Halak. Furthermore, Price was fresh off of an incredible performance against the Bruins in which he might have been the ONLY reason for the win. Finally the comments came after a loss in which almost no-one could blame Price where the team missed on offensive chance-after-chance. I'm not a Carey-over-Jaro guy. In fact I am fully in support of keeping BOTH goaltenders in an equal (or close to it) situation. The comments of Jaro's agent are stupid at best, and incredibly underhanded at worst. Unfortunately for Jaro he is the one who ends up looking bad in this. He doesn't need the bad press, and neither does Carey. The reality is that Jaro was poised to get LOADS of games this year anyways. I suspect the tweet had more to do with Jaro's agent wanting a bigger cut of a contract next season than any feelings that Halak may have. The circus continues.

The fact that a team earns a point by <i>losing</i> (who cares if they forced the game to go continue for an additional five minutes) is both stupid and illogical. The fact that the Leafs, for example, are 2-7-5 thus far this season is merely a trick of the light. They're 2-12 and should have four points for their efforts thus far this season. That being said, Lecavalier appears to have come out of his early season shell as of late and will no doubt be as inspired as ever tonight, so I agree that the Habs will need to find the back of the Tampa net more than once or twice tonight to earn a win. Also, regardless of the Habs's offensive efforts tonight, Prince might just have to put in another All-Star performance in goal to get the win. But I think he will. First, a small rant:
