Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

[Sharknado2]

Best part is, Wifi took out 2/3 of the top line

 

[Rapala]

No worries Arber you are gaining back lost brownie points as the evening progresses.
Not that you ever lost any from me.

 

[Hannibal]

Man, he’s a beauty.

 

[Frankenheimer]

You better believe he makes other players think twice. He better be rewarded. Can't have it both ways. Feed the dog.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Again? Neutral fan, bla bla…but for real. First I thought why? Then I saw the hit on Dach and Greig refused to fight any Habs player?
Nah-ah…not on my watch…and obviously not on Arber‘s either.

Kudos to Arber for returning the dirty hit to Ottawa…and to the most flopping player in the league (skater that is…I think Quick still is uncontested.)

When will they play Ottawa? I might want to watch that game…would be the first time I turn in to an Ottawa game…

For real…it is unlikely the Habs make the playoffs this year, so go out and make the Charlestown Chiefs proud.

Love Xhejak, glad he's a hab

Yeah just gonna repost my comment following his last game

 

[Adriatic]

Loved Xhekaj tonight. It was the right thing to do. Too bad our pk is worse vomit lol

 

[Prettyisland]

I love that he defends and looks out for his players. What I don’t like is he is going to put us in positions to lose hockey games if he doesn’t find a balance. He now is likely under a microscope. Love the player. Just food for thought

He hasn’t hurt the team in the past during the regular season, there is no issue.

Two preseason games were guys take liberties with our top players, good on him. They lost two meaningless preseason games. The message was way MORE important than winning the game.

I’m not trying to have a got you moment here or anything but I think his ahl stint had a lot to do with the balance of contributions on the ice and being undisciplined.

They go to the replay and from what I have seen Stuzzle hit him self in is face with is stick Xhekaj don’t make contact to the head… he shouldn’t get anything more…
why did he get a 5 and Grieg only two it is a very similar situation… why did he get a extra 2 for roughing when Brady jump him, Xhekaj got ejected for jumping Pare. This league is all over the place Xhekaj isn’t getting the benefit of the doubt that other player are because he a tough guy… There zero reason for Xhekaj to get a fine it Pare wasn’t fined or get kick out the book thrown at him when they let Greig and Pare get nothing.

He got a 5 because he's 6'4.

He got a 5 because he's 6'4.

And he jumped slightly…

Two occasions where proper officiating could have kept the game under control

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Gotta do what you gotta do for your team out there , its bigger than hockey it's about family and respect

 

[Habano]

Our sheriff will not allow liberties to be taken with our players. I couldn't give a rat's ass what other fanbases and even some of our own posters think. The p***y Greig is to blame for what happened to his teammates. Try to hurt one of ours?

What you gonna do when Xhekajmania runs wild on you?

 

[Prettyisland]

No doubt. My take was more about the macro not the micro of the player. A player that I want on the have going forward without question

 

[Habs]

Man, he’s a beauty.

we need two more of him to teach a few lessons. You touch our top guys, we go after yours. Love it

 

[Adriatic]

And besides, somebody should have gone after Grieg the instant he hit Dach. Can't remember who was on the ice, but if that happens it all ends there and Xhekaj doesn't have to go through this again.

was armia, engstrom, abb and wawa

 

[calder candidate]

The hit look worst but there no contact to the head, The English play by play guy called it perfectly… stuzzle hit himself in the head with is stick. how could the ref not see it on the replay… Grieg see Dach is vulnerable and doesn’t see him coming in why Xhekaj isn’t any better but Stuzzle wasn’t engaged with anyone else could have seen him coming and there even if it look a lot worst the Greig hit was much bigger impact pop him straight on while Xhekaj side swipes him almost miss him.

Figures..

 

[WeThreeKings]

I don't condone hitting people blindside and in the head. If there was some respect for the players in the league that wouldn't happen.

That being said. If Greig wants to f*** around and deliver dirty hits and then cower when he should respond. Then i believe that eye for an eye is the right move.

Xhekaj did what we haven't had the gumption to do for a long time. Hurting the rat doesn't do anything. Show him that if you want to go over the line with my guys? You can be responsible for Stutzle eating out of a straw and hope you can live with that.

Xhekaj sent the message twice and I like how Struble went about it in a different way.

Can't wait until Florian gets in the NHL too. We need some tough psychos to make sure that anyone coming to town to try to be dirty? Can book their time in the infirmary now.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

That how you gonna get Hutson decapitated.

 

[BergevinBurner]

That how you gonna get Hutson decapitated.

So instead we should play like a bunch of passive pansies and let other teams take runs at our guys night in and night out?

We need more guys like Xhekaj, not less.
