“He has a tendency to leave the zone really quick and hope for the breakaway pass,” Chouinard said. ”He’s on the fly all the time and the puck doesn’t really come. We don’t have that one outstanding offensive defenseman that will see that play all the time.”

Thanks for the post. It was a great article to read. I think we will see Latal's game pick up. He handles the puck well and has amazing speed.

Nice to see an update on Latal. He had some great chances on Wednesday night but just could not pull the trigger. It's going to come together for him soon.

I liked what Chouinard had to say about the team:

In a month’s time, Chouinard stated they are starting to see some flashes but have to become more consistent and responsible with their overall game.

“I’m the kind of coach where details are really important,” he said. "Until they understand what I want, and what we want as a team, I’m going to keep making sure that they know what we want from them.”

He has a vision of what he wants from his players and is telling them what it is. Overall there is a talented group on the Rocket bench. Good communication and instruction is the key to getting the performance level up to expectations.

A very good article on Latal. I heard that he's been selected to represent the Czech Republic in the 2008 IIHF World Junior Championship in the Czech Republic?
