I dare someone to make a "value of Arber Xhekaj" thread on the main forums for the laughs.

God I hope MSL and co don’t try to discourage Wifi from playing on the edge.
Both the Pare and Greig hits, all four other Habs on the ice just skated around and did nothing. MSL talks about pack mentality, this team has none. Panthers and Bruins all guys would have jumped him.
This team is so poorly constructed that Wifi is the teams only toughness. And Pezz, but he to be honest isn’t good at it.
Its Wifi, and Pezz, that’s it.

I’d like to see Hugo get Mathieu Olivier from the jackets. He be great on the 4th line and take a lot of pressure of Wifi.
If Wifi didn’t have to do it all, he could then focus more on his game.
Its got to be tough when your the only one who is expected to answer the bell.

Anderson can bring some when he want but they're is something of with him. The guy just doesn't care anymore. Tuch, imo, was a disapointment last game. He was a ghost. He's a big boy and will hit a bit but he doesn't seem to have mutch nastiness in him.

It’s a sad day in Habs media when George Laraque is the only guy making sense out there

Inaction après les blessures: Georges Laraque est TANNÉ – BPM Sports
Aucun joueur du Canadien n'a agi hier quand Kirby Dach a été frappé par Ridley Grieg et Georges Lararque est frustré par la situation.

Sir, this is an Arber
Arber is not a goon, give me a break. He has the potential to be a very good and productive defenseman, who can also beat you silly if you look at his hamburger the wrong way.
GMs would be lining up to acquire him if he was on the market. He's not a dirty player. Two times he was called upon to do the dirty work by his team and coach, and both times he stepped up. His place is secure in Valhalla.

Value of: - Arber Xhekaj
Bottom pairing d man who can throw his weight around and provide protection for your superstars. Habs are flush with d-men and he may get squeezed out. Hit me with your best offer!
I got you

Sometimes it glitches I think
Olivier wouldn't be cheap.
Habs had a chance to get some toughness and players that could be with the team for a few years and didn't really pursue that.
Flyers likely don't want to deal Deslauriers. Cbus likely doesn't want to deal Olivier to help look after their young players.
Ross Johnston, who isn't that good of a player is the best bet and I think he's ufa, so it would look more desperate than a trade.

Because I decided the mature thing to do was not to get into a pointless weiner length contest.
They clearly don't know what "turtling" mean. And Tkachuk kicked Xhekaj butt in their imaginary fight that didn't happen.Sens fans on their board think that Arber was affraid of Tkachuk and turtle to save his life

Canadiens happy to have Xhekaj's fight: 'We stand up for one another'
When the Canadiens see Arber Xhekaj do whatever it takes to defend them, they value that more than most people understand. They don't want Xhekaj to change, nor should they.

This is where you dress him against the sens and they start targeting the big tough guy which is exactly what you want instead of him chasing. Or they chill out either way it’s a win.

No, I stated a fact, you do with that what you will. In your case, you chose to start the said contest.Wait..... but you're the one that started it.
Now that it's finally settled, that Xhekaj had no hearing from the NHL, the Canadiens are behind him, and most of the fans are too, I wouldn't mind if they brought another bruiser, I don't mind Xhekaj taking charge but I don't want him to have to do it all alone, and since we can't rely on Anderson cause he can't give a f*** half the time, F.Xhekaj and Tuch are not there (and I really don't want Slafkovsky to start doing that too often), having another one in the lineup would help.
A skilled, yet physically intimidating team is what I hope for in the end. Xhekaj can definitely be part of that.

Xhekaj hit was illegal would have prefer he stay on the ice and used is shoulder but it is still slightly less predatory than Grieg, and it is a direct result with Greig action. The intent was the probably the same both late, high but Stuzle isn’t tangled up with another played he isn’t charging him, they are crisscrossing the only player he has to worry about was Xhekaj… there is no contact to the head, regardless of the optics since Stuzle does a back flip ( don’t think he embellished but that impact was less violent than Dach because of the angle of the hit) you can’t penalize or suspend a player for something that didn’t. They were worn multiple time to answer the bell or they would be consequences… I think Xhekaj pick is spot perfectly since he should not even have got the 5minute in the 1st place… the win isn’t as important as the message that is being sent, stop running our guys.
We have seen 5-6 dirty play vs. Habs player in preseason we can’t continue going a that rate.
