from Darren Dreger of TSN,
Montreal Canadiens forward Georges Laraque is outraged by recommendations made by general managers participating in the annual NHL GM meetings in Naples, Florida.
“All of their recommendations are a joke!” Laraque charged after reading the NHL’s plans on TSN.ca....
It’s that proposed penalty - a 10-minute misconduct - which really angers Laraque.
“Stupidest thing ever!” Laraque told TSN. “I think it’s a joke. They might as well take fighting out of the NHL...fighting won’t be safer; it will be eliminated because an added 10 minute misconduct is too much.”

Yeah, because having Georges Laraque and his ilk unavailable for that extra ten minutes would be a crushing blow to any team. Whatever.
