Good scrap but the guy's a goof though.

 

This clip doesn't show it but he was carrying on after like he just won a Stanley Cup. Pretty silly when his team was up 3-0 at the time.

Heavyweight champ after beating Kassian?  Hell no  

 

In fact, I don't think that he should tussle with Johnson, Lucic, Reaves, or MacDermid as it's too early for him to step up to the true heavyweights.  

 

Let the kid get comfortable in the league first.

When Georges Laraque was 18 years old and in his first training camp with Edmonton, he said that the coach, Ron Low, wanted to keep him on the team.  Laraque told him he wanted to go back to junior for one more year to improve his skills and skating.  After he retired, he admitted to John Scott on his show that the real reason he wanted to go back to junior was because he was too scared to fight Dave Brown.  Dave Brown retired that year and Laraque ended up in the AHL the following year.  He said he was happy to play in the AHL because he didn't want to fight the heavyweights in the NHL at that time.

 

The following year he had his first fight which was with Rob Ray.  He beat the sh*t out of him and then the rest is history...
