GDT: Preseason Game 5 - Habs vs Sens 7pm Est TSN & RDS

[417]

He'll be on the ice, and remain on it, when the season begins. Right now, I'm more than okay with him crossing the line after what took place earlier in the past two games.

We’ll see about that lol

Sick of only bad things happening only to us

 

[Habano]

Miss the point intentionally if you want.

If Xhekaj wants to be a goon, he’s doing himself and the team, a huge disservice.

He’s a much better player than that, he can defend his teammates and be intimidating while using his brain.

Preseason game, I couldn't care less

 

[sampollock]

Brady out?

 

[Riddick412]

I may just be speaking for myself, but I'm really missing any sense of consistency from the NHL. It feels like it's getting worst every season.

 

[Hannibal]

Xhekaj is going to run himself out of town if he can't become a better dman, no need for anyone else.

He was good tonight.

He sends message in preseason. Couldn’t care less.

 

[David Suzuki]

St-Louis and the media are gonna run Xhekaj out of town.

what has marty done or said to imply this out of curiosity lol

 

[HuGo Sham]

It sucks for Arber. I don't like the hit, but these are 10000% reputation calls.
Greig hit Dach as bad if not worse.
Tkachuk jumping him was similar to his move on Pare.
These are different calls based on rep.

Arber is beloved in the room because he does the kind of lifting other players will not or cannot do.
nilan and Odelein are loved in habs nation.
I hope he learns to pick his spots and develop the other parts of his game.
It's clear he's a team guy who cares and takes his role as protector seriously

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Xhekaj is exactly what we have missed for many years. Why people are angry with him?

 

[Hannibal]

He always ground him when a player show toughness.

I don't approve of this kind of action either but what are you supposed to do when all our Stars keep getting run in preseason

 

[FLHabs]

St-Louis and the media are gonna run Xhekaj out of town.

I don't think so. MSL said he was going to talk privately to Xhekaj after the Pare incident. If MSL would've let him know that he wasn't happy with that play, I doubt Xhekaj goes for that hit coming out of intermission.

Yeah I want him on the team, I think the boys want him too.

It's not dumb in the sense that none of the Senators or Leafs were going around trying to hurt Xhakej, Pezz, Tuch, Condotta, etc.

They were only going after the Laine Dach Caufield Slaf. When they were asked to fight, they refused and ran away.

So if you go after our skilled player, well, we'll go after your Stutzle. It's simple math.

They only have themselves to blame after.

So time your hit and drill the guy.

Don’t for the 2nd game in a row tax your team early in the game by getting kicked out.

 

[Tyson]

When you set the tone by blind siding Dach then the payback is what Xhekaj did. Embrace the toughness. This team needs Xhekaj

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I don't think Xhekaj can make that hit the game after a fine and come away without a suspension, even if the hit wasn't as bad as it looked.

 

[expy]

MSL better start thinking about which lineup he's gonna field on Saturday against the Sens ...

 

[OnTheRun]

Xhekaj hurt his feelings ?

It's Brady tho, he probably went to the room to fart in his hands and smells it, then forgot to come back.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

In Montreal it's not PP it's ED.

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Stutzle and Tkachuk are not back

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

just tuning and daym, just saw the Dach and Xhekaj hits

was it clear in realtime that Xhekaj was relatliating/sticking up for Dach? that's what it looked like during intermission

 

[Riddick412]

Xhekaj is exactly what we have missed for many years. Why people are angry with him?

No real or knowledgable fans are angry with him.

 

[sampollock]

Dach needs faceoff help

 

[HabSgt]

Tkachuk & Stutzle both out. So we did to the Sens what the Leafs did to us?

 

[expy]

There's nothing suspendablr about that hit though.
