Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj the Sheriff Returns Edition

He was literally a non-factor except for the goal against. Game wouldn't have played out any differently with Struble in the lineup. Last change let Marty feast on their lineup with good matchups.
We out hit a caps team that bullied us in games 1 and 2, totally turning things around physically, if you don’t think Xhekaj has something to do with that your arguing in bad faith.
 
The only time I noticed Xhekaj was when he missed a shot, and that other time when he fumbled the puck and we got scored on. He was invisible otherwise.

Who cares about what he did before the game, in a warmup.

That could have backfired and still can next game.
yeah it could have backfired and they could have lost the game 3-2 or 3-1
 
With Xhekaj in the lineup, he strikes fear into the other team, and the boys play tougher, harder, and bigger around him.

He put out a +1, 4 hits, what more do you want from bottom-pairing defensemen?
I don't think anyone is afraid him, he scored 1 goal this season. What is there to be afraid of?
 
Your blind love for him is concerning.
A undrafted player who has obvious flaws and is still learning is a future asset. It isn't blind love, it's respect for how he made it to this moment. He will imo always be a bottom pairing D and that's ok with me.

What does being an undrafted player have anything to do with the current situation?

Most draft picks never make it this level, and undrafted player is an even bigger Longshot.
I get it...you hate him and I question if you are even a Habs fan, your posts are pathetic at this point. I won't put you on ignore because I enjoy watching you making a fool of yourself. Keep it coming.

Why do you keep saying I hate him?
 
Just trying to be realistic. I love Xhekaj and wish him all the success but his WAR is below average.

I really want him to make me eat crow.
Fair enough...I hope he succeeds because there aren't many true tough players who can play.
 
Xhekaj and Anderson are similar creatures, and no one here can convince that having both in the lineup didn't have a huge impact on the game.

Arber has flaws—hell, so does Matheson—but he has the heart of a lion, and he is the guy the skilled players love because he looks out for them. The same goes for Anderson.

Having these guys bring the ballz to the lineup helps every man on the roster to be themselves and play to their strengths.

A good team is build with many different players. Not only skill, small players.
