Josh Anderson always looked good during pre-season. He was ppg in pre-season since joining the Habs. The real season is quite different...

Not going to lie, Slaf pulling a player's hair during a fight was a massive bitch move. That was before he got 1 punched by someone like 7 inches shorter than him.

no he just shouldn't have pulled hair in the fight
Why not? Seems like everything goes. So what's the issue?

I certainly don't want him fighting again, that's for sure. It was obvious he had never been in one in his life.
Lol... true. Though I think he did have a fight last season. Can't be sure though. Either way, dude needs some lessons. Arber can help I hope.

Isnt Rifai 6"2 210lbs that fights a lot in the AHL?

What are you on

He was mad. He just ate an elbow to the face, Caufield got crosschecked right into the ribs when the puck wasn't near, Laine got his f***ing knee taken out and Benoit was throwing two handers slashs to Dach's hand all night.

They were clearly out to goon it up so i'm pretty sure there was no more Rulebook on how to fight like a gentleman out there.

He looked a lot smaller from the clip, but if this is true I apologize and I was wrong.

So he had to pull hair? There was no other choice? Not to mention that Slaf did get some shots in by looking at the aftermath, so clearly there are better ways than hair pulling.

It's ok we're not used to have a 6'4" forward lmao

Not that I disagree that it's not a respectable move; more that I can excuse it from all the emotions of the game that was going on.

You don't have to knee a dude or crosscheck's the ribs of a 5'7" dude but here we are.

What Xhekaj did isn't what I'd call gentleman-like either but I wouldn't call that a bitch move. To me, dirty crosschecks, high sticks, and slashes are still within the game of hockey, can't say the same for hair-pulling.

Toronto sent an AHL line-up and all Montreal could do was score 1 measly goal with all the powerplays they had, it was not an impressive outing to say the least. It's pre-season and usually there are some players that stand, till now it's only been Hutson.
