Patrik Laine: George Laraque doesn't mince his words and he takes on some players from the CH
Last Saturday night, all the fans held their breath when Patrik Laine lay on the ground after his knee collided with that of the Maple Leafs player, hometown Cédric Paré. Although a few days have passed, the incident is still causing a lot of buzz.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that David Reinbacher's injury would keep him out of action for 4 to 6 months. A little later, it was feared that Patrik Laine had torn his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) after the contact.
Fortunately, we have learned that it is just a sprain to his left knee. No surgery will be necessary.
In the following sequence, defenseman Arber Xhekaj decided to defend his teammate Patrik Laine's honor by rushing at Cédric Paré. He tried to fight him, but Paré preferred to keep his gloves on and protect himself from the wrath of the Canadiens' number 72, who is known for his fighting skills.
It didn't take much for the commentator and former enforcer of the Canadiens to lose his temper on BPM Sports radio. He did not hold back when addressing the Canadiens players.
Georges Laraque criticizes the ridiculous reaction of certain Montreal Canadiens players
He completely exploded and didn't sugarcoat it. He loudly expressed his discontent.
He pointed out that it wasn't Xhekaj who should have reacted later on, but rather the players who were on the ice at the time. He directly called out forward Josh Anderson, who was also on the ice.
«It's ridiculous that when something like that happens, we respond on the next shift,» said Georges Laraque
Reacting to a hit that could be seen as an attempt to injure in people's minds should provoke an immediate response, not one that comes 3 to 4 minutes later. By then, it loses its relevance!
This is a situation to keep an eye on...
