Josh Georges just took on Frazer McLaren in the Leafs vs Canadiens game. McLaren mocked him somewhat, but also didn't just beat the snot out of him which he clearly could have done. Given they were past teammates, Georges must have known he was getting in way over his head.
Loved having Rivet on the team, but I'm not sure anyone could have imagined Georges would have turned into such a decent defenseman, and clearly the guy is pretty fearless. I remember him taking some big hits while in San Jose and he always seemed to bounce back up.
That's the type of play that earns you a lot of respect with your teammates..something the sharks could use some more of.

He's a real leader too, from all accounts.
On the HNiC telecast, they interviewed him and asked him who he looked up to when he was growing up in Kelowna (BC). He mentioned Scott Hannan (who was playing with the Kelowna Rockets in the WHL at the time), and then noted how great it was to room with him and learn from him after being drafted by SJ.
