Xhekaj got fined because Paré was too scared to answer the call. It should have been a fight, nothing more.
(MTL) Arber Xhekaj has been fined $3,385.42

100% it is, if a goal is scored.
Also re:bolded,
then why do you have an issue with Xhekaj

it is meaningless in the larger picture, missing games is the only thing fans and players care about. Can't believe this has to be explained.

Then why has he never fought him?

Pare never intended it, X guy did. Intention matters.

It’s just funny because I sit on a number of disciplinary committees and fines are often the most common form of discipline employed.
Can’t believe you are unaware of this.

I'm saying both should be suspended severely.

You can't seriously believe that Pare can be described as unsuspecting in this situation.

He was as unsuspecting as Ridley Grieg after a slapshot into an empty net.

Yeah so gonna go ahead and say your job and the realities of the NHL are very different, continue to be obtuse and pretend that $3k for a NHL player is any kind of deterrent. Again, you’re arguing semantics. This is a stupid exchange with you taking more of the fault for that.

That's a lie. Feel free to check you bias for a second.
The Leafs won’t bite and the game has changed.
But I can see something similar to 2013 happening again, where Montreal was unhinged and playing at home against Toronto.
Leafs went up 5-0 and then all hell broke loose McClaren and Orr pretty much took out the entire Habs line.
Man that team was glorious to watch. Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren, Mike Brown, Mark Fraser, Nazem Kadri.
Poor Josh Gorges.

You should always be unsuspecting of a sucker punch. Chasing an opposing player around the ice for the intent of retribution and acting on that desire needs to be punished harshly. The outcome and when during play it happened should be irrelevant. Incidents like Bertuzzi and McSorely are stain on the game of hockey and there should be a stronger deterrent.

The Department of Player Safety could have suspended Xhekaj for one game and staved off a circus for the season opener, dialed down the temperature, etc.
But instead, it has done a nice job of setting up a Wrestlemania to Summer Slam for the opener and if anyone gets hurt on either side with splashy bad publicity to boot, you can thank George Parros.

So insufficient discipline like I said originally.
Stupid exchange indeed. Took the long road to agreeing with me I guess.

Guys, not only do we have to fear Ryan Reaves (who makes 1.35m per year against the cap) this year, we also have to fear him all of next season, where he also makes 1.35m per year against the cap.
I sure hope the next two years of his contract go by really fast, I hate living with that type of anxiety.

Yup
Over under how many fights happen and more injuries? Either that or it will be boring game lol
If I follow your logic, why Reaves never fought him after their first match? Is he scared? Xhekaj don't give a shit about overrated Reaves who was a major spotpicker when real heavyweight where still around.

3k is not a deterrent, but if that’s all the PA and NHL can agree on, what can you do, the PA doesn’t want high fines, the NHL would take higher fines.
