During the summer season, Georges Laraque gave Michael Pizzetta a helping hand to help him be able to fight more properly in the NHL.
After denying the news, he finally admitted that he actually helped the Canadian striker.
Obviously, when we know that George is generous enough to give his time to help some people, we can wonder if Arber Chicaj would be entitled to the same treatment.
Wifi, who has been recovering from surgery earlier this year, is after all the most dangerous man on the team when it comes time to drop the gloves. He showed that, for better or worse, against the Maple Leafs and Ryan Reaves on Wednesday.
Did he also benefit from the advice of Laracque, whom he feared like no other at the time he was playing?
Clearly the answer is yes. On the sidelines of Tony Marinaro’s Sick Podcast, the former Canadian player and current BPM Sports host confirmed that Arber Xhekaj received advice from him as well.

Marinaro, who is good at pulling worms out of people’s noses, brought Laraque, who worked with Xhekaj on the ice after working with Pezzetta.
Laraque confirms that the WiFi is very strong and that he is incredible and that he has great hands.
He was going to give me a great fight. – Georges Laracq on Arbor Chicaj
According to the former boxer, the Canadian defender just needed a few adjustments to get to the next level. Since then he’s been asleep (Ryan Reeves).
In any case.
George also said, at the end of the Sick Podcast, that Xhekaj was his favorite player on the team, which says a lot about what he brings to the Canadian.
Is there a challenge too big for the giant defender?
