Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[StickShift]

This reflects the poor reffing from the MTL/TOR pre-season game.

The Leaf player doesn’t get the appropriate punishment for the bad hit in the other game—so the lesson for other players is that it is open season to do it themselves.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Dirty play

 

[Hullois]

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

 

[gstommylee]

Not a headshot, tiny bit late and not very accurate. Definite intent to injure, but so was Greig's.

looked like one to me since it knocked the players helmet off.

 

[cptjeff]

Yikes. Coming one game after the punch, that'll be a suspension for sure.

 

[Sting]

For context, Grieg took a shot at Dach on an almost identical hit.

Only difference is tiny Tim's stick hit his own face to draw blood.

Greig hit chest. Didn't flail his elbow out. You can tell exactly what X was trying to do with that elbow.

Identical aside from the fact that Grieg was body to body and Xhekaj was going for decapitation.

Yeah, the helmet magically flew off. Or maybe it was from the wind created by Xhekaj's magical leap.

 

[Tuggy]

Except Xhekaj didn't hit him in the head.

Rinse, repeat... What was this about plugs hitting Stars in preseason some people were so upset about a couple of days ago?

This guy needs to be tossed from the league, no idea where the line is on a consistent basis.

It was slight interference. Not really all that much different than the other hit in the same game, that you conveniently didn't post about. It wasn't too the head, it wasn't dirty other than being slightly late.

If this is regular season game, he likely doesn't get tossed.

 

[Razz]

Punches a guy in the back of the head with the gloves on, gets a fine. The very next game headshot on a star player.

Nice job DOPS.

 

[Tuggy]

Greig hit chest. Didn't flail his elbow out. You can tell exactly what X was trying to do with that elbow.

I know what he was trying to do.

I don't think it was a major.

Game management from the ref.

 

[EXTRAS]

Overreaction.

 

[miscs75]

Who does WiFi think he is? Jacob Trouba?

 

[Pia8988]

Raffi Torres would be proud

Honestly the best part is this f***ing clown turtling. [mod]

 

[Natey]

Jackeye is an absolute menace out there he's gotta chill

Hell nah, hope he keeps his edge so long as he's not dirty.

 

[Rude Dog]

awful

 

[Ezekial]

This and the Dach hit are bullshit and shouldn't happen in preseason

 

[Natey]

looked like one to me since it knocked the players helmet off.

Then you should definitely open your eyes. He comes nowhere near the head lol

 

[tny760]

from that 240p hubble telescope angle sure looks like he caught a lot of head

gotta have some self-awareness there if you're stutzle though

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Yeah, the helmet magically flew off. Or maybe it was from the wind created by Xhekaj's magical leap.

Or it was from Stutzle's stick which you clearly see in the replay you dink

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

looked like one to me since it knocked the players helmet off.

Yeah Stutzle's stick did.

 

[Natey]

This and the Dach hit are bullshit and shouldn't happen in preseason

Then take hitting out of the game. When players are literally not full-time players and their edge is what may get them a spot... they're going to do it. Take hitting out of the game if you don't want that.

 

[SensontheRush]

Timmy hasn't played since. Pretty clearly a hit to the head, though it didn't connect as cleanly as Xhekaj wanted.

 

[Koivu11]

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

And then refusing to fight Pezzetta.
