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

[domiwroze]

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.

That's the refs to decide. It wasn't a 5minutes, if it was, Greig has to be too.

Not Xhakej's fault if the refs are losing control of a game, once again. Not like there's 2points on the line anyway. It's the perfect time to set the ground rules.

 

[KFlint]

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

He would be better suited as a 4th line player, losing a D constantly is not great… It might come to that if he doesn’t improve his D anyway, lots of work to do.

 

[Rapala]

You were polite by telling me to GTFO?

I’m going to repeat what I said earlier, with my WHOLE chest…

F**k outta here! Lol

You just don't get it man that isn't on me.

 

[Habby4Life]

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.

Suspend him, so what, he did the right thing.

I can definitely see optics being part of the decision

 

[sampollock]

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

No because one guy are gone for 3 to 4 months and one guys gone for the year

 

[The Real Timo]

Yoel

 

[Habs]

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

I don't get the hate, it's what we need more of.

 

[morhilane]

Brady T. hurt himself attacking Xhekaj?

 

[Habano]

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

They need to complain about something

 

[Tyson]

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

Exactly. If not him...then who?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

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

No. They aren't likley to miss more than this game.

fans have gone soft

Ridley Greig did it to his team

Just like that dumb empty net slapper. Guy is legit redacted

Comments in the main board thread alone tell me how valuable he is

 

[Tyson]

fans have gone soft

Kinder, gentler hockey

 

[Rapala]

Brother…he’s trying to make a team, his spot isn't locked.

Its just dumb, don't care how any of you try to justify it.

There's no way you can justify putting this guy on the ice with 2pts on the line.

What two points you are starting to sound like Rene Bourque.

What kind of comments are there

 

[morhilane]

Chabot isn't there either. Looks like the Sens are scared. Maybe Habs should send Xhekaj to run star players every games.

 

[CharleyHorse]

gotta love the double standards, f*** you NHL

Agreed. And who cares about the Sens' comeback? It’s just a meaningless preseason game. The real problem is the message it sends if the Habs let their players get run over. That attitude carries into the regular season. Imagine the signal they send if, every time a player gets cheap-shotted, they just turn the other cheek. f*** that. And to be clear, X didn’t start any of it—he was just reacting to the cheap shots. I'd take two more just like him - that and a PP that runs better than 0% efficiency

 

[MarkJ]

Dobes > Primeau

 

[The Real Timo]

Ok, so Primeau can't stop shit, apparently.

 

[le_sean]

Pretty good PK. Special teams will again be a force for this team

 

[Redux91]

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

It was 100% Xhejaj saying ok that's enough touching my f***ing guys
