Retired NHL enforcers are lining up to fight Tom Wilson: ‘@NYRangers, give me a one game contract’

Not only did Tom Wilson’s role in a line brawl enrage the New York Rangers, the hockey media, and Twitter as a whole, but it also raised the heart rates of several retired NHL enforcers.

Wednesday, 44-year-old Georges Laraque tweeted at the New York Rangers and asked if they wanted his services.

“Hey @NYRangers, give me a one game contract for tonight’s game and I’ll take care of @tom_wilso… lol,” Laraque tweeted.

You guys, we have now officially entered the absurd.

‘Goon: Last of the Enforcers’ is out today. Former Capital Mel Angelstad fights Doug Glatt in it.

A new hockey movie just hit the cinema. Goon: Last of the Enforcers is out in select theaters today (the closest in our area is the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester, Virginia) and available on demand.

The movie is the second in the Goon franchise and directed by Jay Baruchel. The movie brings back the all–star cast that made the original so funny. Seann William Scott (American Pie) stars as Doug Glatt, along with Alison Pill (The Newsroom), Wyatt Russell (Everybody Wants Some), Jason Jones (The Detour), and with Elisha Cuthbert (24), Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) and Liev Schreiber.

Several current and retired hockey players make cameos as well including Brandon Prust, Tyler Seguin, Michael Del Zotto, George Parros, Georges Laraque, and former Capital Mel Angelstad.

Angelstad, the first player to ever wear number sixty-nine in the NHL, had the opportunity to fake-fight Seann William Scott in the movie.
