Some of you turning on the Head Coach cause he’s not playing your player crushes is hilarious.

Forget the fact we’re in a spot you never thought we’d be.

Not swapping Laine for Heineman and not playing Arber Xhekaj is the hill you wanna die on.

The Habs lost and were physically beaten. What's the answer? No line up changes.

As a fan I have noticed that the only D MSL mentions when they make a mistake is Arber Xhekaj.

He is the only one held accountable. That's what frustrates me
 
I would put Evans with Demidov and Laine and put Newhook with Heineman and Armia.

Xhekaj needs to make his playoff debut as well.

We played a good game yesterday but I think these changes are necessary.

Well the same line up practiced today so there are no changes coming.

Sorry for posting on a hockey message board that we don't agree with our coaches decisions.

I mean i don't understand how you think it's better to post that you don't agree with other poster opinion, both are fine.

This isn’t true (physically beaten part)…but even if we’re to subscribe to this.

You think changing the lineup somehow eliminates that? Does he have the 76-77 Philadelphia Broad Street Bullies as extras and he’s going to swap all 12Fs and 6Ds out of his lineup?

This is another false narrative.

Also, not every player is held to the same standard, it’s naive to think that it should be that way but no team in professional sports actually operates this way.

Some guys have more rope then others, it has always been this way and it will always be this way.

MSL isn’t going to sit Mike Matheson to insert Arber Xhekaj into his lineup, no NHL coach would actually. This is just fantasy stuff that fans make up because they don’t actually have to be held accountable for their decisions.

I understand your frustration but I don’t know man…I think MSL has earned some goodwill to make lineup decisions this year.

It’s one thing to disagree with a coaching decision.

It’s an entirely different one to call him a POS.

If you can’t tell the difference, I don’t know what to tell you.

if THIS coaching decision upsets you to that point, you’ve lost a grip with reality and probably a good idea to sit the rest of this series out.

Better post, so basically you where calling one poster out whitout replying to him right.
 
Dirty refs letting Gallagher get crossed checked with a stick to the face, multiple blatant late hits, blatant roughing. Refs are a joke, I would tell Xhekaj to go out there and show them what dirty is, elbow one of these dirt bag Capitals to the face.

Jayden Struble played 56 games this year and not a peep about ''accountability'' about him. Arber played 70 games out of the 82, yet people are acting as if Arber was sent to the gulag.​
 
So looking like no Xhekaj again tomorrow night. Not surprised.. Not surprised at all really since I didn't expect him to play.

If Xhekaj doesn't play at all in this series I kinda hope he asks for a trade just so he can get a fresh start and a chance to play somewhere else since his current coach doesn't seem like he wants to use him.
