Laraque sharing his fucked up story with Matheson, the recent pissy reporter in EDM with Draisaitl

"Brantt Myhres had a tryout with Calgary in 2005 and was to play in a Oilers-Flames preseason game, which was his first NHL game since getting out of drug rehab. His dad was in attendance. Matheson thought it would be funny to tell Laraque at the morning skate that Myhres was talking shit in an interview. This really pissed Laraque off, and he beat up Myhres bad during the game and broke his orbital bone. Laraque called Myhres afterwards to check up on him and asked why he was trash talking him in the media. Myhres told Georges he never said anything that Matheson was claiming. Laraque later confronted Matheson, and Matheson laughed about it. Matheson made the whole thing up for his own enjoyment and got Myhres badly hurt. Myhres never played another game in the NHL."

Matheson is a piece of shit that needs to retire and piss off. Guy tries to piss players off on purpose. 0 ethics there

Yeah hof pos

Choice quotes:

"When I called him to apologize, Brent, we know each other, why the hell did you tell the media you were going to go after me. You know what he said to me? Georges I swear I never said anything, I didn't want to fight you, it was my first game out of rehab and my dad was there. You think I wanted to fight you? I never said anything"

"So the media is on the bus on the way to the plane, and I went up to the guy [Matheson] and he laughed at me and he was kinda joke [sic]. They wanted to see the fight, so they made it up. All this something they made up, to see me fight him they kinda thought it would get a rise out of me and it did."

"Did that guy lose his job in the media? No, are you kidding me? No he didn't, you know how good that is for them to create a story like this for them? They don't care. Oh my god that's so irresponsible though a guy's career is over. Yes exactly, just for a joke. The media tries stuff like that, to try and get a rise out of someone, and it worked."

although laroque coulda just not beat the crap out of him ending his career because of some guys word of mouth

but yeah the reporter sounds like a total douche kinda crazy hes still got his job or is even allowed into the edmonton media stuff

Sports reporters are extensions of orgs and the league itself. It's basically impossible to operate independently. It's no surprise the profession is full of dick suckers and shit disturbers.

JT Miller trade talk heating up as per Seravalli and Dhaliwal.

5.25M for this season and next.

All-around 1st liner.

ISO: haul

according to friedman on the jeff marek show the oilers are looking at goalies and some options they have and are looking at
varlamov
vanacek
husso
jones-not their first option but apparently they looked into him

jones has ben pretty good this season tbh and if were not making the playoffs sandstrom has looked capable i can see jones being traded for a pick or something and flyers rolling with hart-sandstrom
i was wondering if that could be a trade that gets done so its interesting to hear friedman bring it up
