Big Georges Laraque giggles, taunts Philly fans
When you're one of the most intimidating fighters in the NHL, there are certain expectations in regards to quality trash-talking (video, NSFW) and interaction with fans (video, SFW). We believe Big Georges Laraque of the Pittsburgh Penguins hasn't necessarily met these expectations quite yet. Unless you believe comparing financial wellbeing with acerbic Flyers fans and following it with a girlish giggle is sufficient smack:
But if there's one thing we love about BGL, it's that his actions speak louder than words. So consider yourself redeemed, good sir, for this mocking celebration against the glass following the Penguins' Game 3 victory. Notice Jarkko Ruutu following BGL's lead with a little leap; even Evgeni Malkin gets into the smack talk by asking the Flyers fans, "How does it feel, baby?"
We've professed our love for the Penguins' fourth line, and Laraque is a big reason for our amorous feelings. How can you not dig a player who tells the media he got in shape because, back in 2007, he was "a whale" who "couldn't move." Two-hundred and fifty-five pounds of self-deprecation. Who knew?

The PENS will win either tonight or Sunday.
They are a machine on a roll.
Plus, Philly has no defense and they are tired.
Maybe we could lend them Sydor so he could crack the lineup.
That's depth baby.......we are sitting a guy that Philly would put on the first line....LOL
Did anyone see that Red Wing game last night.
I think that ref was from Philly.
That was by far the worse call ever to take that goal away from Detroit.

The Stars looked revitalized, played north south and fast.The Wings have a lot of trouble with that.
Had the Rangers played that way they'd of had a chance against the Pens.
Dance with what brings you is the old adage.
As for the Flyers it's hitting that bring them and the Pens can more than handle the Flyers physically. The only hope the Flyers can have is the Pens assume the win and play poorly.

Of course the building could be flooded too with all of the crying going on from the fans.
It sure was funny to see their faces after they knew that they were going down 3 games to 0.
Especially after all the trash talking they did.
The PENS won't play poorly either.
Just ask the Rangers and the Senators what they faced.
The PENS have noe let up.
Watch tonight and see.

Those teams thought they could still win. Flyers are just gonna try to hurt someone cause they know they lost.
