Be prepared for AB Habman to defend against any negativity towards Latendresse this season! Doesn't that put the fright in you all
Remember guys...he's a kid. Let's be patient and give him a chance to mature on and off the ice.
He's the same age as Sidney Crosby (and has nowhere near the media glare on him) - and his age never stopped many of you from bashing him all last year.

The VERY BEST thing that could happen to 'Gui' is that he quickly jumps out of the gate and scores 10 goals in 6-to-8 games...while the VERY WORST thing would be that he quickly jumps out of the gate and scores 10 goals in 6-to-8 games!!!
Make sense??? Neither does the treatment of ANY rookie in Montreal!
The fact is that this kid is gonna stumble at some point and he will hear about it from the 21,273 attendees who overpay every night!!!
Fortunately Gainey, Carbo, Muller and Jarvis are around to pick him up and get him going again!!!
...and for those who will cry and say 'why would you boo a kid for making a mistake while still learning and developing'...the difference is that you (or And-o) don't make 10 years of a decent WORKING wage in one season of PLAYING!
Trust And-o! If this kid needs a good 'BOOING'...And-o is gonna be 'BOOING' regardless of what ANYONE has to say!!!
$+800K per year for a kid who barely knows how to shave demands accountability in And-o's World - NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER...NONE...PERIOD!!!
(if he, or anyone, whats to be pampered...And-o is certain that Donny Lever has a jolly-jumper, a sippy cup and a new rattle toy for those players in Hamilton!!!)
If he works hard every night, I will be his biggest fan, whether or not he puts the goals in. If he is lazy and sloppy and tries to get by on superstar pedigree, then I will boo him regardless how often he scores. But at the same time, he is a kid, and any ill can be forgiven
