We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
3G and 5G... not bad, just hope its not the number of goals they score
You mean the same Pezzetta that plays in the NHL?
Habs need to get Ryan Reeves 1 yr deal .
At least he will be pissed when the team looses
Habs need players like that

Picking Floarian 101st when guys like Alex Ciernik and Luca Pinelli are still on board?
Questionable?

Even if he amounts to being an AHLer I think a 4th is worth it to ensure another team doesn't potentially get their own Xhekaj if he owns out.
Lolol. Is there another brother we don't know about yet?? because drafting the third one would be the real jackpot. That puts you in Hanson land lol
I watched him a few times playing for Hamilton.
He is not the fastest skater but not bad. He tried really hard and hits everyone that he possibly can. Supposedly he can fight but I haven’t seen him fight live. I remember two of his goals and they were both by the net. One was a deflection and one was a rebound. You still need to score those garbage goals. His point totals are nothing great but keep in mind that he was in his OHL rookie year and on one of the lowest scoring teams in the league.
I really hope that he has a learning curve like his brother. He projects to be a fourth liner who may be a slight upgrade over Pezzetta.

I get what people are saying, but as an example the Habs selected Pezzetta over Matthew Phillips.
Pezzetta has played quite a few NHL games while Phillips hasn't made it.
It may not be your choice, but who knows who will make it at thos point and if they do will they even be more than a 4th liner ?

Nepotism at it best, he has 4th liner numbers in the junior league...
He was also undrafted last year, he's 19 years old...

Hughes and Gorton are very good at it. Sometimes it works well, some other times, not so well.
Hard to blame Laraque, Lucic hasn’t stopped running from him yet. He wanted zero part of BGL.
This pick made me happy. I’d love to see both Xhekaj just crushing some Bruins, Leafs or Sens.
Arb and Flo, the Smash brothers.
Considering how much his brother improved around the same age, he's worth taking a gamble on assuming he has a similar work ethic.
