Guillaume Latendresse concurred with
Rick Nash in
today's La Presse, in an article that essentially talked about the fear of getting back into the thick of things after a concussion when it seems opponents are deliberately trying to re-injure you - or worse.
It's rare that an active star player will be as candid as Nash was
in an interview earlier this week. As a retiree, Latendresse went even further, accusing the
Minnesota Wild's doctors of sending him back in a game despite his head hurting so much he would cry between periods.
Now seemed like as good a time as any to feature this
2006-07 Ultimate Collection card from
Upper Deck, #DJ-GL of the
Ultimate Debut Threads (numbered #99/150) sub-set that I got in a trade earlier this summer:
I like the encyclopedia feel the left side of the card has, and the fact that both swatches - although white, i.e. ''bland'' - match the uniform he's wearing on the card. I also like the foil team logo and classy design. It's probably not worth much to the ''average collector'' anymore, but I liked Tender, and feel his statistics were fine for his playing time. I put him above the ''bust'' category, for sure.
