Who the f*** is David Ettisomething

 

[Hannibal]

Who the f*** is David Ettisomething

Price’s former agent i think.

 

[Kojo]

I like Xhekaj but what is he gonna do? Take stupid penalties? Play bad defensively?

He's been bad.

Is that all hes worth? Thats a pretty ridiculous comment.

How do you think Habs made the playoffs? They stopped playing Xhekaj.

 

[Mrb1p]

If you dont think MSL doesnt like Xhekaj, youre just burying your head in the sand.

We can debate wether hes right or not but come on

The worst thing that happened to Xhekaj is starting is prto career at NHL level without having played a couple of seasons in Laval. The guy has serious shortcomings in his play.

Everyone like Xhekaj, that's not the point.

Struble absolutely invisible so far. Capitals forwards 'accidentally' running Monty after every shift and Struble just standing there doing nothing. Can't really understand what we would be losing having Xhekaj in there to at least make somebody accountable. I feel like Anderson is alone in there ready for war.

Reminds me of someone...

Nobody is going to want to fight Xhekaj. He can't force them to fight.

He needs come in to injure Nic Dowd and jump Ovy without consent.

Then you can insert Savard all you want.


But I guess we are not that serious about winning.

Gotta start taking the aggressiveness to them. The team is getting pummeled and the refs are allowing it

At least Xhekaj can clear the paint and give some crosscheck. Look what they are doing at Gally and Caufield.

 

[Sharknado2]

I like Xhekaj but what is he gonna do? Take stupid penalties? Play bad defensively?

He's been bad.

At the very least, he will take Wilson, a top 6 forward, into the penalty box with him.
Also, he is now allowed to cross check their forwards in the face and get away with it

 

[Habano]

I disagree, we have the legendary penalty killer Savard and the world's strongest man Struble (who plays smaller than Hutson) in the lineup. We can't lose!! Just ask Marty!!

 

[windycity]

Mmmm I think there's a healthy place in between there, I think that's where a lot of people are.

Oh yeah, I just like to see the bookends lol

 

[Habitant#1]

Xhekaj doesn't need to fight or do anything ridiculous to be effective.
It's the playoffs: he can just crosscheck people in the ribs repeatedly until they break, there's no penalty for that this time of year.

 

[OldCraig71]

I like Xhekaj but what is he gonna do? Take stupid penalties? Play bad defensively?

He's been bad.

Struble got propped up by playing with Hutson, he's pretty average right now.

 

[Adriatic]

It's not about fighting, it's about standing your ground and showing you got your teammates back.

At this point it’s not even about him being a difference maker out there, I just feel he deserves to get some playoff experience in his young career. He’s been standing up for his teammates the last couple years. Teammates love him. Fans love him. We’re not winning shit this year anyways, let him play and get the experience.
Struble had his 2 games and we lost both, he did nothing with it. Give Arber his 2 games.

(I’d say Savard deserves to sit even more but we all know that’s not going to happen)

A million times this.
