this is the exact reason that i think fighting has become so pointless in hockey, back in the day people would fight cause they were mad and even the stars would fight, now we only have the stupid staged fights that dont have anything to do with the game,
Well, Sometimes, Like they said, Its a respected thing between two guys, but on the other hand its a huge brawl, Like Sabres and Ottawa, Or the sabres and Flyers back when Sheilds and Snow went at it
sometimes they fight out of pure anger towards the other person, sometimes to protect a teammate, sometimes for entertainment purposes, sometimes because of team rivalry ... i could go on and on and on. there are lots of reasons why they might fight.
that,s a fine example of keeping the fighting active in the NHL,{what goes on the ice stays on the ice}.there are certain commentators that overexaggerate fights and ruin the sport,.. then NHL GMs try to remove fighting which is wrong because hockey fights in the NHL has been around for a long time. "nonfight fans should go to there local arena and watch minor hockey,and leave professional hockey alone.{NHL fighters know their limits}.
Laraque is a decent fighter,but old skool hockey he would have got owned by the likes of probert,kocur and Larry Playfair,feck list goes on behn wilson,gill.....
Georges is a super nice guy. He just happens to be the toughest player in the NHL. He doesn't even dislike most of the guys he's fighting. They're just doing what they get paid to do.
this is just mutual respect between fighters... some hate each others for sure... but they all have respect for each others... that why he says good luck man... it didnt mean ''good luck, i know you'll get your ass kicked''
Laraque is a good player also....he destroys people in fighting while being able to control the puck an score he has helped the pens this year....he is an all around player...unlike that goon brashear the queer
This is the same Gretzky that called the NJ Devils a Mickey Mouse organization.....I bet Laraque could knock out Wayne Gretzky....and I'll illegally bet on that one....hahaha
Regardless, he got traded for Daniel Carcillo, who does way more for his team. He didn't even stick up for Crosby or anyone else on the Pens. I can't wait until the highly overrated Laraque retires.
Some people on here really don't know hockey. I mean fighters in hockey are respected and there are unwritten rules about enforcers fighting other enforcers and not other players who wish not to fight. I mean Laraque is actually a good player or he wouldn't be in the nhl no matter how good he can fight. hes also a pretty laid back dude, anyway i like to see a nice save or pass like everyone else but fighting has always been in the league and also should be, plus its pretty fun to watch.
Maybe if laraque would actually fight to the end instead of doing some pussy ass wrestleing takedown shit. No wonder he wins the fights, he just throws the other guy to the ground...thats not a hockey fight
Absolute tough guys! Much respect for them, that's how it's done..

Buddy, I am well aware of that.
I meant the FIGHT was SOLEY for the fans. It wasn't because the guys were angry at each other. It was STAGED.
That's why Laraque said, "good luck. let's square up. you wanna go?"
It wasn't out of hate.
