THN.com Blog: Lapierre a worthy Canadiens cover boy

[Pheebs888]

It wasn’t meant as a slight.

OK, maybe it was a bit, but the THN staffer who shook his head in disbelief after finding out Maxim Lapierre was the cover boy for our French Yearbook could be forgiven for his flummoxed state.

Lapierre, after all, has never been confused with Lemaire, Lafleur or even Laperriere. And you can bet the farm he never will.

But that doesn’t mean he isn’t cover-worthy. Andrei Markov is Montreal’s best player and any number of Habs – from embattled goalie Carey Price to new acquisition Scott Gomez – have a much higher profile, but Lapierre’s lippy and chippy style of play endears him to Habs fans as much as anybody on the team.

Way to go Lappy

As much as I'm hoping Gui! gets 1st line time, the chemistry between Latendresse and Lapierre has been a very good thing for the Habs, when few things were any good at all. If the worst that happens is a line of Latendresse, Lapierre, and Pacioretty, I think the Habs will be doing very well.
