Laraque Suspended Five Games

The National Hockey League announced on Monday night that Montreal Canadiens forward Georges Laraque has been suspended for five games without pay, and will forfeit $38,860.10 in salary for an incident that took place during a game against the Detroit Red Wings last Saturday.

At 8:52 of the first period, Laraque was involved in an incident where he deliberately extended his knee and, through his actions, caused an injury to Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall. Laraque was assessed a minor penalty for tripping on the play.

"Mr. Laraque's actions were dangerous and caused a significant injury to his opponent," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell.

Laraque will miss Montreal's next five games – Nov. 24 against Columbus; Nov. 25 at Pittsburgh; Nov. 28 against Washington, Dec. 1 against Toronto and Dec. 3 at Buffalo. He will be eligible to return on Dec. 4 against the Boston Bruins.

Laraque, by the way, should be gone for 20 games. But don’t hold your breath.

Wonder if the NHL will do anything to Belak for trying to neutar Boll. Probably not.

Bullshyt. I would have said two, and I could see the league going for three... but five?! Has anyone ever even called Laraque a dirty player before? This is the Disciplinary Gong Show in action, folks.

--- He's not going to play in Montreal ever again, is he?
