There are better things in life for Maroon to do then pick a fight with X. Or at least pick on our smaller guys like Struble...or Anderson...or Guhle....or Dach....or Savard...or Pizza...or even Slaf...

In other words Mr Maroon, this isn't the Teletubby Habs of a decade ago. We got X, the top 3 NHL heavyweight and 7 middleweights that can take care of business.

Damn, that “top 3 heavyweight” beats up an old man and you get pretty giddy, eh?

It's funny how he's apparently top 3 despite never beating anyone in the top 5. Calling David Savard any type of fighter is also hilarious. Then you have 4 other so called middleweights he listed who have combined for a whopping 9 pro fights.

Who's in your top 5? I hope Reaves and Dlo aren't on it. The first one don't fight anymore and the second don't even play anymore. Both will be gone next year. Macdermid too probably. The league is so soft now. Xhekaj is definitely in the top5 at the moment. And for the record, Xhekaj have beat Olivier in their first matchup

Well, if we're not counting guys who barely play then it's hardly worth making a list. I'd have Reaves, Deslauriers, MacDermid ahead of him along with Olivier and McIlrath. Idk if I'd say he actually beat Olivier in that fight as it was pretty even but maybe a slight edge. I agree that the league is very soft now which is why someone getting all giddy claiming that they're team has all these fighters seems even more ridiculous.

Only Xhekaj and Anderson are legit fighter for the habs. What's really sad is that with only those 2, the habs are probably tougher than 90% of the nhl.

Withing the last year or so...Guhle has taken on...Mantha, Rossi, Henrique and Strome.

Struble has taken on...Graves, Entwistle

Pezzeta...barely plays but is a willing fighter including taking on Reaves

X and Anderson can take on anyone, the other guys are willing middleweight. More middleweight are coming up the system.

This isn't the Habs of 10 years ago.

The intent here isn't to be the new Broad Street Bullies or Big Bad Bruins, the intent is to not have idiots taking runs on players like CC and Hutson.

Maroon is legit but he f***ed with a top 5 pugilist in the league

Only one of those statements is true. Maroon for the most part just looks to use his strength and just control the other guy, or "hugging". However he did give Lowry a good go earlier this year.

I don't disagree with that and I'd call Anderson a HW not a MW. Pezzatta is a solid MW.

Yes, he's a ok MW but like Dlo or McIlrath, he doesn't play. In the next few week, he will probably be put on waivers

The Undertaker grew up as a HUGE Habs fan and I was kind of hoping that he developed and we signed him. BUT...along came X....

Of all the heavyweights, only X and Olivier are currently NHL worthy. I was hoping that we sign Olivier to a 1.5x4 as a decent bottom 6, but then, we got Little X, Maillioux, Tuck and few other willing middleweights with size on the way.

Habs use to have entire roster filled with tough guys but for some reason, we lost our way for a few decades. Now, we are back to creating a tough team but without the excess nutballs like Rempe.

Leafs had a late comeback but at that point in the game, Xhekaj basically punked Reaves. Why should he waste his time up 3-0, just because Reaves asked him nicely? Then Xhekaj laid him out soon after. They crossed paths at the end of the period and I'm sure Xhekaj would've dropped the gloves if it REALLY came down to it. I was watching the game hoping for it, but I understood the logic. It was on Reaves to force the issue at that time, especially the way his season has gone. He barely plays, hasn't fought in a long time, and Xhekaj is at least out there playing somewhat regularly amidst a great stretch for MTL. You can't just give these guys fights for nothing. Xhekaj is overhyped but definitely isn't backing down or trying to avoid anyone.

All that said, Xhekaj is very clearly behind the likes of Olivier, Reaves, MacDermid, Deslauriers etc until he actually builds a track record of doing well against the big boys. Don't give a damn about one encounter.

As for Maroon...love the guy but most of his fights these days are tough to watch. I think to myself, what's the point?
