One thing I know about Reaves is that he fears no player.Reavo was given the invitation to go but he declined. Was it the wish of his coach or did he decide not to poke the bear?

But, Arber crosschecked him and stood back with an invitation to go and he ignored it. It was a telling moment for me.One thing I know about Reaves is that he fears no player.
Good point. Arber is fearless. He needs to be paired with Savard!But, Arber crosschecked him and stood back with an invitation to go and he ignored it. It was a telling moment for me.

That I rememberReaves did basically the same thing last year. Reaves hit Guhle from behind and Arber fought him briefly. Arber was ready to go for a 2nd round, Reaves declined.
They had a bull in a China shop and completely neutered himHow patient should the team be with Xhekaj? This is the worst hockey he's played since making the team. Timid, non factor with his shot, loses his battles
How do you explain him looking so good in 2nd half last year thoughThey had a bull in a China shop and completely neutered him
Laval got ahold of himHow do you explain him looking so good in 2nd half last year though
Shouldn't a player carry that momentum going into the year? But I guess it's not that linear. See SlafLaval got ahold of him
Not linear is right. Xhekaj is simply not the same player who was trusted on the 2nd PP unit.Shouldn't a player carry that momentum going into the year? But I guess it's not that linear. See Slaf

He looked better 2 years ago is what I am saying. Perhaps the league adjusted to him and he is not able to keep up. He hasn't been good enoughYou're going to blame his 0 IQ plays on the coaching staff? He looks like he doesn't know what to do in almost every situation. He's been awful.
I hope he turns out because we need that toughness but he seems to be processing on some lousy hardware. I hope I'm wrong.
He's constantly getting beat by players going to the outside. His lack of footspeed is what's most glaring right now. You can make excuses all you want but MSL has defended his antics this season, and I doubt him being ''neutered'' is what makes him so slow out there.They had a bull in a China shop and completely neutered him
He has regressed for sure.He's constantly getting beat by players going to the outside. His lack of footspeed is what's most glaring right now. You can make excuses all you want but MSL has defended his antics this season, and I doubt him being ''neutered'' is what makes him so slow out there.
I really like Xhekaj and I hope he bounces back, but I don't like how he's playing right now.He has regressed for sure.
