Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[Knave]

Sens fans sure are talking big here for a team that was barely 2 points above the Habs last season and years later in their rebuild.

I'm laughing at the idea the Habs were mentally tough and won the moral victory here. Up 2-0, lose 4-3.

They had the Habs special - preseason coaches challenge to reverse a goal in a meaningless preseason game. First time seeing that in my life so thanks Habs.

Dumb move by Xhekaj, but Stutzle hit himself in the face, and should’ve gotten two himself for that dazzling triple salchow dive.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Stutzle’s stick should get a lengthy suspension.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Should I cry or ? Act like he's the only player doing dumb things on the ice. Proud to have him on my team , defending his teammates

You're the one saying the dirty hits are retaliation for other dirty hits. Considering Xhekaj started it, maybe all the dirty hits on Habs players are just retaliation, and thus justified.

Again, I'm just going by your own reasoning here.

Unless you are insinuating that Xhekaj is a time traveller? Dunno. Just trying to follow your logic here.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

There was no 'jumping of Reaves'. For christ sake, Xhekaj grabbed his jersey and gave him time to square up. Reaves was the first to throw a punch.



Blind ass motherf***ers

Truth.

 

[PatrickMcC]

Pare takes out Laine on purpose and gets jumped? Xhekaj gets the game. Xhekaj makes the little rat diver hit himself with his stick and gets jumped by Brady? Xhekaj gets the game.

And they say there's no bias with these stupid refs lolol

The logic displayed in this post is remarkably absurd

 

[Kennerback]

Parros: The point of contact was the gloves. We are trying to eradicate glove hits from the game.

True. Sorta like how Reaves tripped over the net and didn't get dummied like some Habs fans always proclaim.

Lets be honest... most of the posts on this forum have nothing to do with what actually happened in the game.

Dach fighting Greig? That definitely had to do with the previous few incidents between them.

Xhekaj trying to hit someone as hard as he possibly can? There's no retaliation. That's just how he plays. Unfortunately this hit was slightly late, but thankfully not to the head.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Ottawa fans getting pretty worked up about an interference penalty.

Yeah. Because this is the 3rd Sens player Xhekaj has injured in 3 separate preseasons.

He's a repeat offender against the Sens. It's standard behavior.

 

[Speatleysson]

Response to Grieg doing the same thing to Dach in the 1st period.

nowhere near the same thing. Xhekaj targeted the head, jumped into the hit, and chicken winged his elbow.

 

[thefutures]

How is greigs hit even remotely dirty? Dach even embellished. is Montreal calling the cops tonight too? Pathetic display from team and fans

 

[Natey]

nowhere near the same thing. Xhekaj targeted the head, jumped into the hit, and chicken winged his elbow.

If he targeted the head, he would have raise his arm far earlier. He hit him in the upper chest (where his hands were). End of story.

 

[Korpse]

I'm not attempting to insult you, but nice try. I was trying to help incase you didn't know!

You can't say a standard answer, from a completely different player, is retaliation. That's a ridiculous claim and you're reaching.

No you absolutely can. Player A says team is out for blood. Player B goes goes and gets blood. You can about bring that to the attention of the league that there was intent to get retribution. Add on top of just a couple of nights ago Xkehaj crossed the line in retribution. As lenient as the league likes to be, gotta think their hands are tied on this one.

Habs fans sending death threats to Pare over a tripping minor was getting worked up, this is just hfboards being hfboards.

Yes everyone including the refs are against one of the worst teams in the league. That's the agenda. Then being a bottom 8 team has nothing to do with why they suck ass.

How's it dirty? Look where the puck is and where Greig came from. It was as blindside as the Xhekaj hit and also late like the Xhekaj hit.

If both hits were not late, then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with either hit.

 

[PatrickMcC]

The fact that people believe that Xhekaj made Stützle hit himself with his own stick ON PURPOSE is why people warn others to stay off the internet.

At the end of the day, it’s the intent that matters the most here. Xhekaj was clearly trying to take Stützle’s head off with his elbow and narrowly missed.

 

[Beaker]

nowhere near the same thing. Xhekaj targeted the head, jumped into the hit, and chicken winged his elbow.

None of these things happened. A long video review determined it was an interference. If it wasn’t for the stick coming back into his own face it isn’t a misconduct.

 

[Natey]

No absolutely can. Player A says team is out for blood. Player B goes goes and gets blood. You can about bring that to the attention of the league that there was intent to get retribution.

Evans has absolutely zero dirtiness in his body or his game. He's missed significant time due to dirty hits. He's not going to condone dirty, late hits.

The hit was literally downgraded. What are they going to do? Upgrade it again? lol, no.

There aren’t enough Sens fans to write more than 5 posts on Instagram.

Greig took his shot, Stutzle got the receipt. Awesome job!!!

If Xhekaj wanted to take his head off, his head would be off. The contact was the shoulder to the hands (which were at his upper chest). End of story.

 

[Baksfamous112]

C targeted the head in a clear attempt to conus’s his opponent. Greg went shoulder to shoulder. These plays aren’t the same because of the intent and point of contact. X is in serious doo doo.

He went for a late hit just like Grieg did. Stutzle result was different because his own stick hit him on the nose and then knocks his helmet out. Point of contact was Stutzle's shoulder. Both late hits and should have been penalized but no suspension.

Of course the boys will make those comments publicly. In the room it’s different. C is getting an earful from his teammates and coach.

So did the coach. MSL said they both were very similar hit and should have been penalized the same way. I'm sure Xhekaj will act differently when it will matter in the regular season.
