Either Arber allows the Team to be more comfortable and confident while dealing with intimidation or he doesn't.
The question for me is As a whole does our Team perform better under duress when Arber Xhekaj is in the lineup?
The games against Ottawa this season suggest to me that they do and that Arber was in their heads.
But by all means pull out all the stats charts and analytics that don't address the question.

The only thing I want is for our team is to perform to the best of it's capabilities.
It's hard to believe that is happening while watching our Captain getting mugged in the corner with no response.
We won't even get into how much targetting our best wingers and Dmen were subject to.
I'm not sure why some suggest David Savard would be the player replaced it would be Struble or dress 7 D.

If arber was gonna play it was either in game 1 or in game 3. I didn't mind the struble-savard pairing on Monday. And there's no way MSL takes out Matheson even if he had a crappy game. Unfortunately this seems to be the defence the habs are stuck with until next season when Reinbacher probably comes in, Savard retires, and Matheson is potentially moved.

Xhekaj's cult seems ten times bigger than Eller's for a player who has way less impact on the game.

We coulda won the cup with Eller in 2021. Guy outscored our whole roster the year Washington won the cup.

L'Harceleur will be the reason we lose if we lose this series. He stalks the puck like no one else.

Bring back Eller. Just look at how bad Washington have been since they traded him. He comes back and they suddenly win the conference? No coincidence my boys and girls.

Larry Love is the missing ingredient.

You can be sarcastic as you want, but I rest my case. X is needed in the lineup. Im not wearing panties with #72, I don't care much about the guy himself, I just strongly believe with almost 50 years of watching hockey that he would physically make a difference and help the small guys perform with more confidence.

But hey, MSL wouldn't ask me for advice, so it means I know nothing I guess.

I'm surprised the lines and defense pairings remain the same. Not because of Xhekaj, but because that 2nd line is virtually unplayable. 10-1 against at 5-5 scoring chances last game. Newhook 2-8 in the faceoff dot. Can't expect Demidov to have success when his line never has the puck and can't get it back.

MSL is an old soul coach. Vets and continuity. Worked this far.

I'm not sure how having an opinion on something makes people crybabies?
What then does that make the ones whining about it.
I find this kind of post insufferable if I can be frank.

Everybody and I mean everybody should be aware that intimidation is a thing in sport.
If you don't then we have nothing to say to each other.

Go ahead and question whether or not we are intimidated but kindly stop the petty railing against those who may think we are.

The petty railing isn't for normal humans who just want axe inserted in the lineup , hell i want Jackeye inserted as well.

It's for the mental cases that are having emotional breakdowns and calling marty a p***y and what not
