Former NHL enforcer Georges Laraque may be headed into the political arena after a three-year absence from hockey, but it hasnt stopped him from voicing his opinion on matters around the league - namely that of his former club the Montreal Canadiens. Amir Johnson Jersey . Laraque - who confirmed Tuesday that he will vie for a seat in the House of Commons for the Green Party - criticized the Habs acquisition of tough guy George Parros to a Montreal newspaper, saying he wasnt intimidating enough in a competitive division. "I know him and hes a good guy - he will defend his teammates," Laraque told La Presse. "Im sure that when the Canadiens signed Parros, the Bruins and Shawn Thornton were relieved. In Ottawa and Toronto, they were relieved." Montreal acquired Parros from the Florida Panthers last week in exchange for forward Philippe Lefebvre and a seventh-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. The 33-year-old had nine fighting majors in 39 games last season while averaging just over six minutes of ice time. "Hes a good guy, but in the NHL you have to intimidate," Laraque continued. "He has a good technique, but hes more like a wrestler than a finisher...Florida wouldnt let Parros go if he was doing the job. "The Canadiens division is the most tough - Im sure theyre better with him," added Laraque. "But knowing the Montreal market, people will begin to wonder why they got this guy after two or three beatings." The Canadiens signed Laraque as a free agent in 2008, looking to add toughness to a squad that had been manhandled by Boston in the playoffs. But Laraque rarely dropped the gloves. In two seasons with the Canadiens, he had one goal and four assists in 61 games. The Canadiens announced would buy him out a year-and-a-half later when they banished him from the team, apparently because he had become a distraction. He stayed on the 23-man roster for the rest of the season but was not seen at games or practices. "Some will say Im jealous and frustrated, but Im not," he told La Presse. "I know the guy - I know them all. But those who dont believe me will see for themselves." Jerryd Bayless Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. Trevor Booker Jersey .R. Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. http://www.official76ersproshop.com/kids-maurice-cheeks-76ers-jersey/ . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat.

Geelong forward Daniel Menzel has been rewarded with a contract extension after he got his stalled AFL career back on track in 2016.Menzel kicked 33 goals from 18 games this season to put a career-threatening run of four knee reconstructions behind him.The 25-year-old will look to consolidate his gains next season after signing a one-year extension on Monday.The club always stood by me and so the challenge and focus for me was always getting through a full season, Menzel said.I expect with another preseason I will be in even better position to contribute in 2017. We have exciting times ahead and I want to play my part in the club having success.Menzel suffered the first of four serious knee injuries in a qualifying final win against Hawthorn in 2011 and missed the Cats grand final win over Collingwood that year.His persistence during a wretchhed run of injuries was rewarded when he kicked four goals on his hard-fought AFL return in round 22 of the 2015 season. Clarence Weatherspoon Jersey. Menzel kicked four bags of four goals this season and was sorely missed when a groin injury ruled him out of Geelongs preliminary final loss to Sydney.Dan showed that he is capable of playing out a full season and we have been very happy with his contribution to the team, Cats football boss Steve Hocking said.He displayed the ability to create scoring opportunities and to bring teammates into the game as well as the goal sense that he has always had.We expect Dan to get stronger with this full season under his belt and to make an even more significant contribution to the team in 2017.
