Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

[JJ68]

Yeah I think he can still throw em, but Olivier and Deslauriers are big boys, tough for Jackeye to throw around like some of the other fights he has one. I hope we get another tough guy in the forward group to help offset some of p***yes we have, since they won't play Pez. Olivier or Deslauriers would have been nice on this team still.


that shot is so underused , imagine hiding a 105mph clapper .. only in Montreal lol

Josh Anderson when angry is a pretty good fighter too. Florian Maybe one day.

Xhekaj damn sure isn't Pezzetta or Kostopolous. He is a legitimate heavyweight. Of course he won't win all of his fights but he makes other teams take notice.
Habs are lucky to have his toughness when needed.

He lost against Deslauriers, I'm not seeing it the same way you are. It looks like Arbs slipped and fell, he didn't get rocked. He hit Olivier with a few bombs, it was a close tilt, nothing to be ashamed of.

You do realize you are entertaining a troll right?

No, @River Meadow is a straight shooter, comes across the wrong way just like me
We good, I can see how some people thought Arbs got rocked, I think he slipped ?

Josh is a serious tough dude no doubt

Why does he lose the fight? He landed far more punches. Rocked by a punch but didn't go down. Should be a draw at worst.

I didn’t catch the game, but I watched the fight on YouTube, and I’m with you on this. I was checking out the comments on the Bruins board, and someone there claimed X got his clock cleaned. Honestly, I don’t see where they’re coming from based on what I watched in the video, other than they are briuns' fans.

Booins board making comments on Hab players. That's worth about half a roll of single ply toilet paper.

There is ONE poster there that i know from a decade ago that can make a comment without sounding like a 10 year old fan.

What a great period by X to build on a stretch of much improved games. I'm really happy with his development, he's playing a much more structured and disciplined game. I was definitely very pessimistic about his hockey IQ but he has found his game recently, credit where it's due here.

It seems he was challenged by the coaching staff and he has responded really well to that challenge. How could that be a bad thing?

Well, no. Matheson and Guhle were easily much better. Xhekaj played well though, aside from the f**kup at the end when it was 2-0 and 6vs5.
