If you’ve been an Edmonton Oilers fan for a decent amount of time, you’ll remember a true fan favorite. You’ll remember a guy who set the tone night in and night out, a guy who could bring the crowd to it’s feet with his fists or with his massive hits.
He’s Georges Laraque, and it’s safe to say he’s a true post-dynasty Oiler legend. Big George is responsible for some of my favorite Oiler memories, mainly his hat-trick against the Kings in the early 2000’s and his double fight with Todd Fedoruk in game three of the 2006 Western Conference Finals.
Recently, Jackie Dawson and I sat down with Georges Laraque to talk about a number of different things. We touch on the Oilers exciting off-season, his favorite Rexall Place memory and more.
The biggest highlights? Big George gives us his bold prediction for this season and takes us on a very cool behind the scenes journey of the post-game celebration at Rexall Place after his hat-trick against LA.
Wanna hear what the 2006 playoffs were like from a guy who took part in them? Laraque talks about the journey, the atmosphere, and finally the heartbreak.
Without further ado, check out our interview with former Oiler forward Georges Laraque.
