Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[Natey]

This looks like a good hit, no? Shoulder seems to be the point of contact.

A good hit? The puck is gone just as long as Xhekaj's hit. Both did not hit the head. Both were interference. Both players raise their arms somewhat. Greig actually brushed Dach's chin.

Both are literally the same. They should have received the same penalty.

The fact he obviously went head hunting days after getting off lucky without a suspension(but getting a fine) would leave me....unsurprised if the NHL goes a bit further now because he is playing like an absolute moron in pre season. Even if he didn't nail him in the head directly, that was all he was going for and the puck was in a different area code.

Xhekaj is hurting his team with his dirty play. He's a useless player, the only thing he does is take stupid penalties. Why he's still playing in the NHL I have no idea.

 

[Strangle]

Wow…you are absolutely right.

So many posts from Montreal fans complaining that Pare shouldn’t even be in the NHL.

First Xhekaj assaults Pare with attacks to his head. Then Xhekaj assaults Stutzle with another vicious attack to his head.

Montreal is an embarrassment to the NHL by letting Xhekaj play on their team. Get this clown out of the league before he injures another player.

Xhekaj is a scrub who isn’t good enough for the league. Get rid of this guy

 

[Masked]

He doesn’t hit the head. Stutzle stick hit him in the face and knock his helmet down.

That's completely illogical. How can a stick coming down pop a helmet off?

It was Xhekaj's elbow that knocked the helmet off. Try watching it again.

No. Answer the bell when you do a dirty hit and Arber won't have to run after you.

Give Yak 9 games! What a bullet!

He's better than Chabot already shooting

 

[Lilou]

Montreal is imploding. Fantastic.

Stick is coming up, knocking him on the nose (he was bleeding a bit) and knocking off his helmet.

No, but I also don't type one handed while pleasuring myself to fantasies.

Neither do I.

Right, the Canucks never had garbage dirty players, right? Oh wait.

I'm assaulting my phone screen right now by typing while assaulting a piece of pizza and assaulting a cold beer

Finally we have a player that is feared!
Fans love him already!

Two-handed and using speech-to-text? Bragger.

Then the Habs wonder why they have so many injuries.

 

[robertmac43]

Yikes, that is a bad hit. Surely he gets suspended for this one.

 

[DaPhazz]

Absolute scrub, guy needs to be sent back to the ECHL.

How bout no

 

[Max McBolt]

Stupid play but curious to see the Grieg hit that others are referencing.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1841261493951549786

It was a very late hit on Kirby Dach who was without the puck.

Dach was Montreal’s best players on the ice tonight.

Arber Xhekaj decided to answer this by targeting Ottawa’s best player.

(Not defending him or saying it was justified, just stating the events.)

 

[Ezekial]

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.

Blatant late hits aren't every hit, shit take

 

[Baksfamous112]

Quebec welfare province queens saying this hit is the same as Greigs need to show me where Greig left his feet on the hit (he didn't) and put his elbow up (he didn't).

Zhekaj did both.

He did not jump nor hit Stutzle's in the head.

Funny that Greig is the one who connected with the chin and Xhekaj's didn't though, eh?

 

[sansabri]

like the Paré hit, this prob doesn't happen if Greig had been properly penalized/or simply answered the call

 

[larmex99]

That's bad. Another 3K fine coming his way!

If he kills someone the fine could get to $5K…..

 

[NyQuil]

Great, and the intent may have been there, but fact is it wasn't a hit to the head.

It was a five minute major, and Grieg’s wasn’t, which is what he explained on Montreal’s own feed.

Interference happens. It literally happened earlier this game. If you're going to have hitting, you can't possibly believe there won't be interference calls.
