If Xhekaj was on the Sens he would be immensely popular here.
Exactly.Carkner didn't let him turn away, and he didn't do anythign particularly dangerous. Xhejak could have picked his spot better instead of hitting a guy repeatedly in the back of the head, and again, there's a very good reason rabbit punches are banned in pretty much every combat sport.
It's bizarre to tm that anyone would defend something that's pretty clearly extremely dangerous, you can paralyse someone doing that (hense why it tends to be banned), but Xhejak doesn't care, and apparently the NHL doesn't either.
I'm sure lots of people would be fans, but not me unless he stopped being reckless.If Xhekaj was on the Sens he would be immensely popular here.
Exactly.
There was nothing different about what he did than Todd Bertuzzi on Moore, except for the result.
This is inaccurate, Bertuzzi punched Moore from behind knocking him out which resulted in him face planting into the ice unable to brace himself, with Bertuzzi falling on-top of him.Bertuzzi drove Moore head first into the ice prior to sucker punching him.
The issue isn't that there was a reaction, it's the reckless nature of the reaction, much like Perron was reckless in how he reacted to Larken getting hurt, Xhekaj was reckless in his reaction, and has a history of being reckless.If players don't have to answer for season ending potentially career ending injuries were gonna see alot more of it. No one wants to see that but it's what was necessary. If that happened to a sens player I'd want to see the same reaction.
when a crime like murder is committed, in the vast majority of cases, the perpetrator did so either, accidentally, or in a moment of loss of their senses.The issue isn't that there was a reaction, it's the reckless nature of the reaction, much like Perron was reckless in how he reacted to Larken getting hurt, Xhekaj was reckless in his reaction, and has a history of being reckless.
So, no, throwing multiple rabbit punches was not necessary, he was literally throwing haymakers at where the spinal cord connects to the skull, Idk if people understand how dangerous that is,
I don't know how anyone can defend that reaction. Hook a guy to spin him around, horse collar him to throw him off balance and then start unloading punches into the back of his head - the most dangerous area to punch someone. It's just about the most chickenshit way to go after a guy. A real tough guy would never do it that way.The issue isn't that there was a reaction, it's the reckless nature of the reaction, much like Perron was reckless in how he reacted to Larken getting hurt, Xhekaj was reckless in his reaction, and has a history of being reckless.
