Comments on: LEAVE GEORGES ALONE http://thetwolinepass.com/2010/01/leave-georges-alone/ The Nashville Predators' No. 1 rival Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:11:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: metricjulie http://thetwolinepass.com/2010/01/leave-georges-alone/#comment-20158 metricjulie Sun, 24 Jan 2010 05:31:07 +0000 http://thetwolinepass.com/?p=1640#comment-20158 thanks for this post. i, too, was wondering what the heck haiti had to do with any of this. apparently he received the call while he was on his way to practice and that it was really classless of the habs to do so; maybe that's true. maybe bob gainey poses some questionable gestures and signs some weird contracts (namely, laraque's). but to imply like you said that the habs are insensitive to the situation in haiti is blasphemous. in fact, the habs collected almost 60k from the fans and donated 100k toward the haiti relief efforts (the same amount that the NHL donated, by the by). anyway -- i'm glad someone got that off my chest. that sounded bad, but you know what i mean. thanks for this post. i, too, was wondering what the heck haiti had to do with any of this. apparently he received the call while he was on his way to practice and that it was really classless of the habs to do so; maybe that’s true. maybe bob gainey poses some questionable gestures and signs some weird contracts (namely, laraque’s). but to imply like you said that the habs are insensitive to the situation in haiti is blasphemous. in fact, the habs collected almost 60k from the fans and donated 100k toward the haiti relief efforts (the same amount that the NHL donated, by the by).

Larocque had a roll. we don't expect him to score and under a coach who hates enforcers he is not supposed to fight either. He is a presence on the ice. Cam Jannson, Derek Boogard, George Parros All share this place, and so does George. It's that second thought in the back of your mind before you hit a star player or go "head hunting" (hated term). Who else on Montreal is going to settle the score. Every real hockey guy knows that the game is policed by more then just the referees and every team needs that player to turn to. that is why they brought in George. Have you seen other teams take liberties running Gomez, Plekanec or Camellari? I can't say I'm a Habs fan or a Larocgue fan for that matter, but I like seeing the star players putting the puck in the net, star goalies making outstanding saves and not in the press box injured.

Then again, he was a scrapper back then and not the (cough) finesse player he has transformed into. All jokes aside, perhaps he should take his payout and use this as an opportunity to go help his fellows in Haiti. Put his money where his mouth is, if you will. I loved Georges when he was an Oiler.

Laraque actually seems like one of the coolest guys in hockey. He has a personality and gets attacked for it. He is also a gentle giant! As a Habs fan, I'm gonna miss him.
