From the AP: Penguins’ Laraque enjoys role of enforcer. This is an interesting one, because Laraque has sent mixed messages about fighting throughout his career. He doesn’t dodge the question here:
“If I didn’t enjoy it,” Laraque said, “I wouldn’t do it. So yes, I enjoy it.”
“It looks like this will be dynasty for years to come, and for a veteran to be a part of it and do my role of looking after them, it’s just an honor.”
