Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

[Hannibal]

Was probably the best defenseman for the Habs last night.

I’m so proud of him for the turn around he did. The most improved player this season by a mile. Keep it up big guy!

 

[Walksss]

Yeah he looks great out there. He's playing better than every defenceman not named Hutson, what a turnaround.

That's more of an indictment on how bad our D is but still, great progression from this guy, very encouraging.

 

[HabsAddict]

I suggest X just carry Hutson in a back pack when they are in our zone. At least he knows that he's in a PK situation.

Then when he hits the opposing blueline, let Hutson drop and roll...

Plants vs Zombies video game has/had a giant zombie who carries a little zombie on his back that he catapults over your front lines to attack from the rear. No reason it can't work in the NHL

I felt sorry for X last night. He was the only one who showed up in mind and spirit.

He must be pissed at all those around him who just work hard enough not to be the target of the coach...but don't give a f...

Nice to see the big man turning the corner and getting his game going again.

I'm not big on this kind of stuff to be honest, but last night would have been a good game for Xhekaj to remind the Blue Jackets there would be consequences with how they were targeting Laine (which was overtly obvious).

But I suppose with Olivier on their bench, maybe it just wasn't a winning proposition....

Laine put himself in trouble, own your actions

Laine put himself in trouble, own your actions

I don't disagree…

While he may be right, there are some things you just don't say especially after what that organization has been through.

Exactly and not just before going against them. What where you expecting ?

I actually lost some respect for him after this. Hopefully some vets have a talk with him.

Maybe now we are seeing why he doesn't play in any organization very long

He can score, so he’s not a rocket scientist.

 

[Tyson]

He can score, so he’s not a rocket scientist.

And he seems to have a shelf life. Be careful signing him to a longterm deal

Um, besides Savard, maybe Matheson, but who else is working on year 10 in the NHL like Laine ? Guy is as veteran as it gets for us.

Hughes and MSL need to speak with him though because that stuff fires up another team and is stupid. If they pulled him because of being targeted we have just told every team how to neutralize him , especially post season.
