Well, exactly. The only reason Xhekaj did nothing was because he was watching from the press box, for doing nothing previously. If he can’t tighten up his game at this level, size and toughness won’t be enough. I’ve backed him for being our enforcer, but so far this season, he’s been a liability.
Post-Game Talk: The only thing in the mix, are the line combos... Habs lose to Capitals.

What about the rest of the gooftroops on the blueline? I think we are one game away from being beaten down so bad mentally and physically, players are going to be a in a personal hell. I would dress Pezz and Arbs the rest of the way
Struble has been awful, Barron still blows, Savard looks done so we are down to Guhle and Hutson at this point.
Oh, shit - 1000%. I was focusing on Xhekaj because that's who you named in your post, but yeah, the whole blueline (as are many of the forwaards in their defensive responsibilities) is hot garbage. Their reactions to incoming plays have been brutal. It’s like watching them get caught in headlights over and over. The decision-making is rough, game in and game out.
