Offensive Martin

Jacques Martin said this at the news conference introducing him as the new head coach of the habs:

I believe in attacking when you have the puck and retrieving it when you don't have it. I certainly don't try to stifle creativity. If you look at the teams I've coached, I've had creative players like Marian Hossa, Daniel Alfredsson and Martin Havlat, and we've been among the highest-scoring teams in the league.


Unfortunately, the Habs do not have an Alfredsson, Havlat, or a Hossa. Noticeably absent in his comment was Yashin. Yashin is a Russian superstar who is amazing to watch, when he shows up. Sound familiar?
