Georges Laraque Being Criticized For Knee On Knee Hit

Against the Detroit Red Wings, Georges Laraque has an obvious knee on knee hit against Red Wings forward Niklas Kronwall.  Here is the video:

Kronwall has suffered a second to third degree sprain of the MCL on his left knee and will miss two to three weeks.  Kronwall has had knee injuries before, back in 2005 he tore his left ACL which caused him to miss much of the season. 

Many Red Wings feel that the hit was dirty and that Laraques should see some sort of discipline.  Knowing the NHL though, if and how long the suspension will be cannot be determined.  Laraques was only penalized two minutes for that hit.
