Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Soccer ball.
Kick, kick.
Leslie, forget about this soccer.
Let's go check out the NHL action with their new enforcer engine.
George Paros, it is amazing running into you here.
Last time I saw you, I was in Florida at the morning skate with the Panthers.
Now you're in shorts and you have a sort of cast on your arm.
Yeah, shorts in my uh arm sofa here.
We're gonna be real friendly this summer.
I just had a little shoulder surgery to uh get me through the next year.
I had a little uh issue with it this this year.
So, just getting ready for next year on the mend.
Well, I love seeing you off the ice, having fun here at E3.
What are some of the things you are taking in?
I'm just kinda here to check out the uh NHL 14 they just rolled out.
This enforcer engine and it involves fighting into the gameplay more and realistic situations.
So, I was pretty excited to see that.
So, I have to ask, do you play yourself when you're playing the video game?
I always thought that'd be the coolest thing to do when I was a kid growing up is play yourself as a professional athlete.
So, I definitely did that.
It is something kind of cool to do.
So, if you're not picking yourself to be, who's your go-to player?
Uh, whoever the quickest and youngest is at that time.
I'm kinda trying to live uh vicariously through that person, whoever it would be.
So, maybe a Patrick Kane or something like that.
Just uh trying to relieve my youth through uh through their legs.
Okay, George, so the season is done.
You're not playing hockey for the summer.
You got some time on your hands.
But you're not just playing video games.
You are productive.
You have a clothing line.
Yeah, I have a little collaboration called Violent Gentleman and uh we kind of got together and did something cool uh with our Violent Gentleman clothing line.
So, we have an enforced aspect of that and with the enforcer engine and the EA sports in uh NHL 14 it kinda the two fit nicely together.
So, we decided to get together and uh see what we could do here.
Last time I saw you, you showed me how to throw down on the ice, do a little hockey fighting.
I want to show you what I got.
Perfect, let's see it.
Grab with the left and punch, punch, punch, punch, punch.
You have a good memory.
I don't know if you've been practicing or if this is just straight from your memory, but not bad.
I think you might actually worn me out that's maybe why my shoulder gave out on me.
Sorry guys.
He'll be back next season though.
