Detroit Red Wings Request Death Penalty

Laraque expresses no remorse over his actions

In Saturday nights game between the Montreal Canadians and Detroit Red Wings, Habs forward Georges Laraque put a questionable hit on Wings defenceman Nicklas Kronwall who is now expected to miss more than a month of hockey.  Rather than appeal to the NHL for a suspension the Red Wings are instead requesting that Laraque be given the ultimate punishment; the death penalty. ”I don’t think there is any doubt that he should be given the death penalty,” said Wings head coach Mike Babcock. “A player like this who has such limited skill and such a limited role has no place in the game, and as far as I’m concerned doesn’t even belong on earth.”

In the second period of Detroit’s 3-2 shootout win, Laraque had a shift to remember. He started out by charging at young forward Darren Helm, carelessly allowing his stick to come up and catch Helm in the face. Seconds later, Laraque clipped the smooth skating Kronwall as he moved across the Montreal blueline. “He’s an animal out there, he always has been,” Wings captain Nick Lidstrom said.  “We lost a very important player at the hands of this thug. If you ask me, he belongs in the jungle…or the gas chamber…or the electric chair.”

Long time vice president Jim Devellano continued in on the incident saying “I’ve lived in Detroit for a long time and believe me, I’ve seen hundreds of Georges Laraques in my day. They are a menace to the city of Detroit just like Laraque is a menace to the National Hockey League. They can’t get along in society and have no respect for anyone. Fry him. Fry them all.”
