Out for the season; lost his handswhat's with Latts guys, is this serious??
Seems another one of those Sens signings that is undeservedly given a spot in the top 6th and soon therafter shows he does not belong there. Fortunately we are not paying him big $ so no biggie if he doesn't work out but we need someone more skilled.
give the guy a break guys. He plays for our team. don't start this boo your own player when he's down thing. you'll only look dumb in the end and it's not going to make him very happy to play here if it ever reaches him.
he is going to really help our top 6
If there's one thing Latendresse doesn't lack to play in a top-6, it's skills. You will eventually see what I am talking about. Oh and what about that pass on Turris goal?
Who cares? We attract a lot of UFAs anyway
Seriously, it's dumb when you think of it. Some people whine that we never sign any good UFAs but when we do sign some UFAs (and not the best ones because we can't), we scapegoat them asap at the first sign of weakness. No matter what, some people will always whine. Gosh, I think that's the thing I dislike the most in life : whiners no matter what.
Does anyone else find Latendresse to always be in the right spot for a pass/shot but flubs it?
The pass on the Turris goal was magnificent and I've no desire to diminish it or pretend it did not happen as I cheered loudly when it did. Every player from the 4th line up makes a brilliant play every now and again, that is why we look at the totality of their plays when evaluating the body of an individual's work; hopefully leading to greater objectivity. I'm sure Winchester had some great plays when he was playing with the top line as have others. To date, I have found myself more frustrated with Latendresse than pleased. This can change but for now my thought process desires someone who could have buried one of the many chances he has had. I won't apologize for wanting him to capitalize more on his chances nor do I think it is whining to state that.
Very surprised to hear Sens fans saying he's not talented enough. He can definitely shoot the puck and dangle, at least he was able to a few years ago.
It was his work ethic and speed that was lacking.
He hasn't played a whole lot these past few years. I hope the Senators are patient with him. I think he can get much better.
