YOU GOONS!!!
In a move that would make Reggie Dunlap proud, the Pens traded for the NHL's Top Heavyweight yesterday, Georges Laraque. Laraque's in his 9th season, and spent the majority of his career kicking ass in Edmonton. He'll have one job here in Pittsburgh: Protect Sid.
Gary Bettman made the message clear when he failed to punish NY Islander Jason Blake for his blatant spear of Crosby earlier this year: The NHL won't protect its stars. So the teams that they play on, will. Welcome, Georges.
No longer will teams be able to take liberties with the young studs of the Pens. Whoever does, will get their face punched in. Old time hockey. I LOVE IT.
This post also gives me a chance to hype a great site:

Check it out. It has fight cards for the league's best goons. Here's Laraques. Some fights even have a YouTube link. Great stuff.
MUST SEE VIDEO. Pay careful attention at about a minute in, Laraque is mic'd up. Priceless:
