TheBigRedC Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 According to Tsn.ca, Habs prospect Guillaume Latendresse will be taking part in the World Championships. Apparently he will only participate in the exhibition games. http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/news_sto...164343&hubname= Scroll Down to the last few paragraphs...

shortcat1 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I don't expect that Sarhei Kostitsyn will play for Belarus but I wonder if Andrei would and/or Mikhail Grabovsky would. Could be kind of neat. Imagine if Emelin does and some of the other European prospects too. Could be a nice Habs-show. :king: :hlogo: :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 By the way, it also shows that Chipchura will be going over too. :king: :hlogo: :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrei is on the roster but is with the Habs right now. Grabovsky is on the team since he was their 1st line center at last years WC's, they will need him to have a big tournament. Emelin should be there as well. He's currently playing on the 4th pairing in the the Euro Cup games. I saw a clip of him against Team Sweden in one crazy game, but they only showed him for 2 seconds or so. I've been told he will most likely make the WC team since the coach doesn't seem to want to use NHLers outside of Ovechkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I guess Latendresse and Chipchura would get bumped once the second round casualties from the playoffs made their way over? But it'll be another good learning experience for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Habby2919 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 "Two young players expected to join the team next year are Andrei Kostitsyn, 21, a forward who was Montreal's first pick in 2003 and Guillaume Latendresse, who nearly made the Habs last fall as an 18-year-old. Latendresse, Montreal's second pick a year ago, scored 43 goals in 51 games this past season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League." This was from todays Globe and Mail. I thought that Guy was supposedly in a slump this year but I had no idea that he put up 43 goals in 51 games. He should probably have a good chance at breaking the lineup next year!! :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should probably have a good chance at breaking the lineup next year!! :hlogo: He's that one power foward we've been looking for, though I,m not sure if he'll crack the lineup since we're pretty full on wings with kostitsyn coming, higgins, perezhogin, ryder. I exepect to see lapierre and kostitsyn breaking the lineup and maybe ferland as a replacement. If he was drafted by pittsburgh, he'd be on the starting lineup next season but with our depth up front,I think he'll have to wait for his turn...in 2007-08 I expect nothing less from latendresse than to be a leader and show consistensy through out next season and be a force at WJC.

revvvrob Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 ya - no need for the Habs to rush him ... but ohhhhh i just can't wait for him to play with the big boys! WC is a great stepping stone for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I want to see a Russia - Belarus game now to catch our prospects. Wonder if they could end up playing eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montreal Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I want to see a Russia - Belarus game now to catch our prospects. Wonder if they could end up playing eachother. Nope, Emelin was one of the final cuts, reports were he made the team and he's on the prelim roster but right before the tournament started he was replaced. Perezhogin never made the team, he said he would play for them but they chose not to use him. Kostitsyn I believe is expected to arrive today in Latvia, so he's expected to play for Belarus against Russia and Grabovsky of course will play, he had an assist on the game winning goal the other day. He's been moved to LW from center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Whatever happened to Latendresse & Chipchura at the Worlds? Was it just that they were replaced by 'better' players? I expect that this was the case. But also, did they get to stick around for the rest of the tournament & be potential reserves? :king: :hlogo: :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilist Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) Whatever happened to Latendresse & Chipchura at the Worlds? Was it just that they were replaced by 'better' players? I expect that this was the case. They were just invited, along with three other junior players, to play in the exhibition game. I don't know if they keep them around the team though.

MAK Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 the fact that they were invited shows alot ofthe quality of the players. they got a bit better just by being with older, professional players. do you guys think that claude julien as something to do with this??
