I agree about not going overboard, but how can you not be drooling over Latendresse right now if your a Habs fan...if he was drafted by your team and been doing the same thing, you'd be saying the same thing
Papineau scored 5 goals in a pre-season game a couple of years back. That didn't translate into a stellar career in the NHL. Take a deep breath and step back from the computer.
And no I wouldn't be raving that 'he's the steal of the draft', 'If Crosby weren't in the 2005 draft I'd take Latendresse 1st overall' and the rest of the overhyped nonsense that's going on in this thread. It's one game. Holler back at me come midseason if Latendresse is lighting it up in the NHL.
Edit .... Link to the story

Justin Papineau scored five goals as the Blues opened the preseason with a 7-2 victory over the Bruins on Thursday night.

STARS 7, AVALANCHE 1: Jonathan Sim scored four goals for visiting Dallas
Jon Sim should also be a 1st ballot HOF based on his preseason performance
