Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[JIMVINNY]

What was it then? I’ll wait for you to show some video and tell me it was otherwise.


No, the Sens did. Laine just got injured by a knee.

nvm. misunderstood.

 

[RogerRogerr]

Slightly late to late hit at most but wouldn't even give that a 1% chance of being a headshot.

Will be 1 game because of the lateness of the hit imo, maybe 2 if they want to make an example out of him because habs.

If it's 2 it's not because habs, it's because he keeps on being reckless and giving him 2 now let them throw the book at him when he inevitably goes full redacted again.

Greig... earlier in the game?

You know who does this? People who aren't guaranteed roster spots. Why wouldn't they? That's what got them to the show, they feel like they need to continue proving they belong.

If you have an issue with hits in the pre-season, it's an NHL thing... not a thing on a player trying to earn a living.

Well golly, didn’t see that hit either. Don’t really think it’s necessary either. I dont think huge open ice hit attempts are all that necessary in preseason, and those aren’t what shows you belong. You get maybe a chance or two per game, what matters more is how you play the rest of the sport, gap control, board play, crease clearing, getting the puck out of the zone in a controlled manner, generate offence from the blueline, etc….

but Xhekhaj has tried headshooting and punched a guy in the back of the head, these are far past “hits” and hasn’t done anything of note other than that so he’s looked even more like a plug than usual…I guess that’s what Montreal is going for though if they ice him in the regular season

What a comment, you're the difference between someone who watches random clips on Twitter and someone who actually watches the f***ing game.

There was a worse hit prior to the X hit. Now you're informed, you're welcome and thank you for stopping by.

i couldn’t care less about some difference, he’s done this consistently and brings almost nothing else to the ice, he’s a plug and Montreal keeps icing him shows the state of their team.

Xhekaj only made contact with Stuetzle's hands.

So with this logic, you can say "I didn't cause the concussion to his brain. I only hit his skull, the brain then hit the skull."

The refs clearly decided it was a major, even after watching the replay.

Lol. It's not some logic puzzle. There's no inference needed.

He did not hit him in the head. He hit him in the hands. If he hit him in the skull, then yes, things would be different.

Nobody believes you. (Besides Habs fans)

 

[bert]

Sens fans please come get your man and get him home.

So the line is 76.5 points. The Habs have the 2nd biggest hockey fanbase on earth. You're not capable of putting this together? Like actually? Whoever passed you in grade 6 should lose their job.

 

[Canadienna]

Kid is going to be back at Costco stocking shelves again if he doesn't stop the bullshit.

The guy is barely an Nhl'er on a garbage team.

I mean disagree on Xhekaj's ability, but I think we can both agree that playing like this (which he's done his whole career) is the main reason he's currently an NHLer and not stocking shelves.

Stopping won't help his career.

 

[JIMVINNY]

So now you're saying the refs always get it right? Interesting take.

 

[ottawa]

If it's 2 it's not because habs, it's because he keeps on being reckless and giving him 2 now let them throw the book at him when he inevitably goes full redacted again.

I acknowledge he hit him slightly late but ultimately it was Stutzles stick that did most of the damage. There was no headshot like a lot of people are claiming tonight.

Grieg's hit is what started it all...this is what happens when the refs let the game get out of hand and let the players police the game. Sens f***ed around and Stutzle was unfortunately the one to find out.

Bro, just log off, you're embarassing yourself.

So now you're saying the refs always get it right? Interesting take.

When the have the ability to review the replay? Yeah, they get it right 99% of the time.

 

[bert]

If Xhekaj gets a suspension, Greig gets on too. The fact that Xhekaj didn't actually make contact and Greig did makes the Greig hit worse

Refs and injury result and media all say the opposite to this post... . However youre right. Everyone else is wrong hahahahaha. Just wild stuff from the most unhinged group of fans on earth. If enough of you guys say it, you Will be able to change time and space. Altering the reality we all live in.

Ok but you acknowledge there there was a certain "who the f***" that delivered an open ice hit in preseason right?

Like I said in another comment, Grieg f***ed around and Stutzle found out.

[Akrapovince]

Clear targeting to the head, doesn’t make it any better that Xhekaj isn’t coordinated enough to take Timmy’s head off but the intent was there. Totally pre meditated, and a bum going after one of the rising stars in the league.

Don’t like the hit on Dach either, especially in pre-season but let’s not pretend the dynamic between the two aren’t completely different.

FWIW Xhekaj didn’t turtle though, Brady just always goes for the takedown so I’ll give him a pass on that.

He didn't try to hit anyone in the head tonight. It was so far from the head... you're making things up.

You contradict yourself SO many times which makes this post even more hilarious but also not worth my time to respond to with any depth.

You can tell some of these Sens fans are deep in the sauce.

They obviously don't want to make an example out of him. Either that, or you can literally do whatever you want on a Leafs player without fear of discipline while Parros is in charge.

We'll see.

Can someone please explain to me where this headshot is? I see that Xhekaj hits Stuztle in the shoulder.

He dives immediately as soon as he feels a stick up high so it looks worse. At this point he has that down to an absolute science, too bad that stick was his own.

 

[swiftwin]

False.

Xhekaj started it the last two preseasons. Teams take note, and they talk to eachother.

It's no coincidence the Habs have so many injuries this preseason.

Deal with it

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

This is for sure suspendable.

 

[FLHabs]

This was fun, Sens fans are something else man

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Bro, just log off, you're embarassing yourself.


When the have the ability to review the replay? Yeah, they get it right 99% of the time.

You're the guy who pretends or thinks the Habs injury woes have to do with hurting Sens players.

Whether it's a trolling act or a legitimate belief, both lead to the same conclusion. I'll let you figure out what that conclusion is.

 

[Canadienna]

This is for sure suspendable.

Suspendable for hitting the gloves? Interference suspension?

Or do you think he made contact with the head?
