Sure, but it is not a surprising or unexpected mistake. Laroque is a massive Oilers fan who is known to tell lies:

He later admitted that had he been caught, he might have been terminated.
"Knowing that, it’s probably safe to assume that like many fans in Edmonton, he’s sick of talking about the Hall trade...
"I’m not going to suggest what Laraque is saying should be taken as gospel or is even remotely true. I have no idea where his information is coming from. A former NHL player known to make the media rounds and provide his often controversial opinion, there is every possibility this is just a player talking with no real proof to back anything up. He’s been known to 'break news' that often doesn’t come to fruition."
