Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

[jaffy27]

Hey Arber.. Can we make a video to show people how big your hands are?

Its no wonder when this guy connects it hurts….thats a lot of area to transfer kinetic energy to a full stop on one’s face lol

What Wideman did the Xhekaj is what Savard does to Guhle. It’s just normal. But Xhekaj just ooze confidence and that’s a very good thing.

I think Harris looked good versus a small and soft opposition and i bet Xhekaj will look even more good against a tough, checking game. I think we’ll see their icetime change a lot with the game flow and/or opponent.

He might look good individually but because the team has no chemistry and the rest of the players are rather weak he will end up out of position on numerous occasions ans that’s why he needs to stay calm and play as a unit not a one man wrecking ball

If you check the 3 rookie defensemen we have, in the +-, Guhle is at -3, Xhekaj is at 0 and Harris is at +2.

Early days but not bad at all.

6 players got -2 from the 2 empty netters against Detroit, just to show how bad of a stats the +/- is. Guhle being one of them if i'm not mistaken

Would also help our D +/- if the forwards could generate some goals.

We also have been playing Guhle as our 1/2 dman. He has been going up against other teams star players.

 

[Habsrule]

What I am the happiest about after three games is his confidence in his own game. I am from Kitchener and his biggest fan. We all know that he can fight but I am so happy that he hasn’t resorted to fighting to try to prove that he can play in the NHL.

People have noted it before from looking at pictures but it turns out the kid really has Andre the giant hands.

Good sign, it’s the first thing everyone mentions from meeting hall of famers!

do they still allow the emtpy net on a plus/miunus ? thought they changed that. What a stupid stat anyways.

Yea it's the worst stat out there, along with the W/L for goalies

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Xhekaj, will score his first goal tonight.

+/- on its own is useless like a lot of stats, but if you compare a person's +/- to the team's goals for/against it will give you an idea of that player.

its not a very good indicator for weak teams though

 

[the valiant effort]

This kid is going to be one hell of a defenseman in his prime.

 

[HuGort]

Definitely NHL material but he should be in Laval. Learn finer points of game. I think injuries to Eddy and Matheson only reason he here. Took foolish interference penalty. Got caught pinching, turned puck over twice. But he does give us a physical edge.

 

[Belial]

I noticed his huge hands a long time ago! I'll pat myself on the back!

I think we all did when the rookie camp photo was released.

I think the first time I noticed it is when he was raising the J. Ross Robertson Cup.

Interference penalty was a result a the freaking bad turnover from Drouin.
