In my opinion, what Xhekaj did yesterday, he stood up for all of his teammates. It's okay to act like you've got a few screws loose in the head, especially after what transpired so far this preseason. However, when the season begins, he's gotta be smarter and if necessary, make the "intent" to hurt or injure less obvious.
I'm against injuries and goonish hits, but if we're on the receiving end of one, we have to retaliate, especially when the code doesn't get respected. Hopefully this sent a different message to opposing teams we've got a player willing to cross the line.
I agree and i also hate to think like this but there has to be dissuasion from illegaly hitting players. Like Pare did, like Greig did and like Xhekaj did.
The best dissuasive would be overlylong suspension. For example, Greig(or Xhekaj) should have been suspended 15 games for their hit, even if there is no consequence.
So unless the league has this kind of dissuasion in place, then mutual destruction is the biggest dissuasive.
Greig should know that he put his star player, not him, in extreme danger when he do a reckless hit like that.
