Pretty much sums it up.
Another factor is that Lats stopped putting up points while Koivu and Tanguay were still getting the job done. Lats with 1 point in 5 games or something like that? he became dead weight and Higgins was just coming back at that time, so to keep the momentum of the line going, Guy tried Higgins in Lats' spot.
No, Sergei would not be in the pressbox, being in there would mean that your not French
If you can make that case for Sergei, can you make the same case for Lats as well? Makes sense doesn't it? Why do they feel that if Sergei was French and not producing points like expected, he'd be in the 'doghouse' when there's already a French Sergei in Lats (you know what I mean)

Ribeiro - Prima dona diver who was an integral part of the cancerous three amigoes, the bashing was justified.
Lats - Does not use his body as well as he should, slow (faster this year), he has been nothing but hyped since joining the Habs. Most fans are being patient with him these days waiting for him to develop him powerforward style.
If anything, the fans are worse on European players:
Koivu - Hey, he's hurt, lets snag pics. Hey, no speakity Frenchity?
Kovalev - Too many thing to list
