October 20, 2008 Georges Laraque will miss Monday's game while nursing a groin injury, according to TSN. Our View:The team has called up center Kyle Chipchura for the game for depth. Laraque is yet to score a goal or assist this season over two games, but held some fantasy value with 14 penalty minutes. |
|
October 16, 2008 Georges Laraque returned to the Canadiens in their 4-3 shootout win over the Bruins on Wednesday. One of the toughest players in the league, Laraque wasted no time before squaring off with Shawn Thornton. Our View:Laraque had been dealing with a groin injury and missed the first week of the season. He had 141 PIM a season ago but just 13 points in 71 games. |
|
October 9, 2008 Georges Laraque will miss the Canadien's season opener due to a groin injury, according to the AP. Our View:Laraque, once the heavyweight par excellence in the NHL, can still drop the gloves when needed, but his offensive game is minimal and he hasn't recorded 150 PIM since 2001, so even if healthy, he really has no value. He has been out with the injury since the end of September. |

September 29, 2008 Georges Laraque has a groin injury that may be more serious than the Habs originally thought, according to The Montreal Gazette. Our View:Laraque, once the heavyweight par excellence in the NHL can still drop the gloves when needed, but his offensive game is minimal and he hasn't recorded 150 PIM since 2001, so even if healthy, he really has no value. |
|
July 3, 2008 Georges Laraque has signed a three-year, $4.5 million deal to play for the Montreal Canadiens, according to TSN.com. Our View:Laraque's value lies with his fists more than his hockey stick. He doesn't do enough to have much value in fantasy hockey leagues. |
|
July 3, 2008 Georges Laraque will not be joining the Nashville Predators after the team made him a free agent offer, according to The Tennessean. Our View:Laraque has more value as an enforcer than as a scorer, so his fantasy value is minimal. He isn't only a goon, though, as he did score four goals to go with nine assists last season. |
|
May 29, 2008 Georges Laraque was a healthy scratch for Game 3 on Wednesday, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Our View:He was a scratch for Game 2 as well, while Gary Roberts took his spot in the lineup. Laraque only has one goal and one assist through 15 games played in the postseason, with his last point coming on May 11 against the Flyers. |
|
May 26, 2008 As the Penguins search out adjustments to the lineup in reaction to being shutout and held to just 19 shots in Game 1, the Pens are expected to relegate enforcer Georges Laraque to the bench as a healthy scratch in Game 2 on Monday. Our View:This puts Gary Roberts in the limelight as Pittsbrugh must be more offensive minded. Laraque, who brings size, toughness and hustle to the lineup, is one of the few members of this young team with extensive playoff experience. However, short of a couple of heated conversations with Detroit's Darren McCarty, it became clear that an enforcer would probably not be needed in a battle against the Wings. |
|
March 22, 2008 The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Georges Laraque is eligible to return tonight after serving a three-game suspension. The winger was suspended for an elbow that knocked Buffalo's Nathan Paetsch unconscious. "It's been three games, a week," Laraque said. "It feels like it's been a long time. It's frustrating, but at least we won two games of the three." Laraque's 128 PIM is valuable in specific fantasy formats. |

March 13, 2008 Georges Laraque has been dealt a three-game suspension, according to TSN.ca. Laraque belted out an elbow to the face of Buffalo's Nathan Paetsch on Wednesday night, which resulted in a stretcher coming out onto the ice. Paetsch was able to leave the ice on his own power and Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff commented that the hit was a cheap shot. |
