Former enforcer Georges Laraque calls out Ryan Reaves

Georges Laraque recently took to social media to address a segment of Montreal Canadiens fans questioning defenseman Arber Xhekaj's contribution to the lineup. Laraque defended Xhekaj's value, highlighting his performance in a recent game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

However, Laraque's praise for Xhekaj came with a subtle critique of the Maple Leafs' enforcer, Ryan Reaves.

In his social media post, Laraque hinted that Reaves was ineffective in the previous matchup when Xhekaj played, suggesting that his absence allowed Reaves to be more noticeable in their recent game. Laraque's comments, although not directly aimed at Reaves, hinted at his disappointment in the Maple Leafs' enforcer's performance.





Furthermore, Laraque doubled down on his criticism of Reaves, suggesting that Reaves failed to establish himself as a formidable presence for the Maple Leafs. Laraque implied that Reaves should have sought a rematch with Xhekaj during their recent game, especially considering the significance of the matchup and Reaves' reputation as a tough competitor.



While Laraque acknowledged Xhekaj's confidence, he subtly teased the idea of a rematch between Xhekaj and Reaves, implying that it would be an anticipated event for fans of both teams.
