Last week, we learned that Georges Laraque was giving lessons to Michael Pezzetta to help him fight in the NHL. With Ryan Reaves in Toronto, Zach McEwen in Ottawa and Milan Lucic in Boston, things are sure to get moving in the Atlantic Division. Guest on Tony Marinaro's <i>Sick Podcast</i>, Georges Laraque had kind words for Pezz and made a major statement about the current brawlers in the NHL. Tony then asked Georges how #55 will hold up against Reaves or Lucic, who are physically much stronger than him. <q>Pezzetta isn't a brawler, he's a physical player who can throw down the gloves on occasion. I'm currently stronger than Reaves and Lucic and I'm shaking Pezzetta like in real fights. He'll be ready. Even today, I could beat any brawler in the NHL. I'd dominate them all. - Georges Laraque</q> That's a pretty incredible statement for a guy who hasn't played since the 2009-10 season.
