Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

[Hannibal]

.


He's just trying to survive right now.. what he needs is 30 games without coming out of the lineup or being scared of losing his spot. Same for Struble.

Yes please. f*** off with the Barron experience. Run with a Xhekaj-Struble pair and let them build confidence together.

 

[yianik]

I was wondering... was there ever an explanation from the league on that play where 2 flyers dropped the gloves and Arbs was the only one that got the penalty?


Bring back Michael Therrien 3.0!!!!

Lol. Good God I didn't mean it that way.

Arber's thread slipping to page 3

One of the very few habs who have tightened up their game recently

I miss the bull in a China shop version of Arber Xhekaj

 

[Hannibal]

I miss his psycho side.

But for the last 4-5 games, his game greatlh improved to where we know he can play!

Watch Kent trade him for a soft, mobile, thoughtful douchebag , I can just feel the GM's circling and phoning him for #72, I bet he's one of the most requested guys on this team

f*** I miss Luke Richardson.

f*** I miss Luke Richardson.

THIS X 1000

 

[rickthegoon]

f*** I miss Luke Richardson.

Richardson had Webber, 1st gen. version of Petry, Still relevant Edmunson, Romanov and Chiarot to play with …… not exactly what Robidas has in his card deck….but it’s fun to imagine how he would handle Xhekaj

Why won’t the staff use him when we’re getting clobbered to stir some shit up? Team is getting humiliated, let him go wild and provide a spark.

Sure when the game is tight you want him to stay in control but when you’re getting humiliated out there that’s where guys like Xhekaj can give you some momentum back with a big fight or hit.

I’m lost on what they want from him.

I am lost too. Let the kid entertain us!

Im really starting to believe MSL really hate Xhekaj. The guy can do no wrong. Shortest leash of the team by far. Other can do mistakes, take punitions and never miss a shift. Struble for example, took a bad penalty in the third that led to a buffalo goal, and yet never miss a shift.

Xhekaj have been solid in the last couple of weeks.

I hate this coach with a passion.

 

[Habs]

has MSL been forcing Arbs to drink Soy Milk and tone it down? They've terrified him into being the physical beast we came to love. You dork Marty

Well half his value gets lost when we don't let him stand up at our blue line.
One guy who can hold a line and we have him playing a p***y back off game.
I swear if we let him alone and allowed him to play his game like at the end of last season he'd be fine.
Here's a guy for all his supposed trouble ended up at a plus six.

Played barely 10 minutes today...that's not how you develop young Dmen

Don’t feel bad, the kid feels the same way.

Honestly I think the best thing for Arbs is to stay out of MSLs sights and wait until the latter is fired. He plays mistake free 10-11 minutes. Let Matheson and Savard get all the attention.

 

[River Meadow]

Xhekaj got rocked by Olivier and lost the fight overall.

Sad day.

Disagree. I don’t see that as a loss at all. He landed quite a few and Olivier punched the helmet quite a bit.

He did NOT win.

And Olivier got the better shots in, including one that buckled him.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Hockey fights gave the W to Olivier

That being said the Habs broke the tie minutes after the fight and Arber was given the golden balls so that's a W in my books fellas don't @ me.
