(Reporting by Caryn Trokie, Editing by Chizu Nomiyama) Stocks Bonds IPOs Global Markets merle haggard sing me back home . posted by Rocket All Habs There is no denying that Guillaume Latendresse has enjoyed an extraordinary amount of media attention well in excess of what a player with his skills and his numbers would normally deserve merle haggart . So, who is this player who received so much ink and broadcast time?Is he really one of the greats in Canadiens history?Are the rest of us just not seeing it? Latendresse has 48 goals and 37 assists for 85 points in 232 NHL games.Latendresse is one behind Charlie Sands and one ahead of Bert Corbeau on the Canadiens’ all-time point list Who? Sands was a diminutive center who wore No merele haggard . 9 for the Habs from 1939-1943.Sands was the last player to wear the number before Rocket Richard arrived in 1943.Sands was born in Fort William, Ontario and was a solid two-way player?sorry, those words would never be used to describe Latendresse.Sands’ 86 points were scored in just 159 games mearle haggard . Corbeau was a defenseman from Penetaguishene, Ontario who tallied 84 points in 167 games for the Canadiens from 1914-1922.Again, a player who achieved similar points in far fewer games than Latendresse. Corbeau is described as a player “who made effective use of his size.”Are you listening, Gui?Corbeau’s career ended when he was sent to the Hamilton Tigers in 1922.Perhaps Latendresse’s career could have been extended with the Canadiens if he had been sent to Hamilton for a year or two. So, was Latendresse really the special player with unique talents that RDS and others would have us believe?No disrespect to Sands and Corbeau, but they aren’t exactly household names among the Canadiens’ faithful.

Chuck Lefley is a name some may remember.A superstar?No.But even Lefley had 20 more points in far fewer games: 174 merle haggard mama tried . If the question was asked, which Canadiens player selected No merle haggerd . 1 overall was the biggest bust in the NHL, who would that be?Universally, the answer is the late Doug Wickenheiser.Wickenheiser was selected first in the 1980 NHL amateur draft haggard . Even the much-maligned Wickenheiser had better numbers than Latendresse: 115 points in 202 games and a plus-minus rating of 46.For his career, Latendresse is a minus 22 merlehaggard . The player that RDS would like to compare Latendresse to is Andrei Kostitsyn.Skills-wise, it should be obvious that these two players are in different worlds, perhaps different universes.They are also different categories of players. Kostitsyn is a pure offensive threat.He has the best shot on the team, employs his speed, and isn’t afraid to go to the front of the net or get involved in heavy traffic.None of those qualities are found in Latendresse’s game. When making the comparison, certain media conveniently exclude other factors.While Kostitsyn has had to work his way through the normal hoops of the organization, including time in Hamilton,opportunities were simply handed to Latendresse.

Even this year, Kostitsyn has been publicly and loudly dressed down by the head coach in practise.The worst Jacques Martin ever said about Latendresse was an indirect comment about him not being “willing to go to war.”Latendresse was not even identified by name . While Latendresse has enjoyed a daily ego boost from the French media, Kostitsyn had to endure vicious and unwarranted attacks.Some media even went so far as to manufacture stories about him and his brother last season.They talked about a scandal so serious that it would shake the foundations of the organization to an unrecoverable point.As we now know, the rumours were false back to the barrooms . For Latendresse, the praise was overzealous.In Kostitsyn’s case, some of the coverage has been cruel merle hagard . Let’s be frank.Latendresse was a power forward in stature only.He refused to go to the front of the net and did not make effective use of his size.He was slow and was not defensively responsible .
