Ann 2RFA Watch: Canadiens re-sign forward Maxime Lapierre

Mad Max is re-signed
A fast and gritty forward, Maxime Lapierre plays either as a center or a wingman. His speed is his biggest asset while his lack of offensive vision is his worst trait. A great penalty-killer, he is also used in key situations where the Habs have to keep the puck deep into the opponent's territory in order to kill off the clock when the Canadiens are leading the game. Although many fans expect him to be an annoying pest as well as a tough guy, Maxime has shown a certain reticence to drop his gloves, perhaps fearing to lose his model-like good looks. His work ethic is also questionable as he has the tendency to get too comfortable, taking his spot in the line-up for granted instead of busting his ass every night like he is supposed to do. He might not be one of the most-skilled forwards but his defensive talents are a great help to the team while the fact that he is francophone makes good PR for the Canadiens in a French-obsessed city.
