Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[gstommylee]

Garbage call. It was interference, yes. Stutzle hit himself in the face. Xhekaj is jumped by Tkachuk and they get 2 min? Absurd call, especially after review.

It was dirty and especially in a pre-season game. Its completely uncalled for and brady gets 2 for roughing.

 

[Strangle]

Both of these teams suck, but DOPS sucks even more

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

And then X turtles. First he head hunts and then he turtles. This time he’s getting some games off without pay. And his teammates will give him a talking to too. Just an incredibly stupid thing for him to do.

Dudes fought Reaves and Deslaurier, sure he’s real scared of Brady. Pretty sure his brain just kicked in “don’t make this any f***ing worse” lol

 

[The Great Weal]

And because he turtled.

Turtling is what Pare did. Not to mention that one player is injured from the altercation and the other didn't get injured.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Xhekaj looked dumb assaulting pare, now he looks dumb getting bullied by tkachuk.

Shameful preseason from him, doubt he’ll see nhl time any time soon

He’s making opening line-up. No doubt about that

 

[Leaf Fans]

Then why wa that waste Tkachuk bleeding??

Scratch? The attempted wrestle? I am not sure why.

5 min and game misconduct for interference? Stutzle hit himself in the face. Brady jumped him.

It's a 2 min penalty. I don't like the blindside aspect, but I think Stutzle and his notorious reactions really sold it in his favour.

Shit, I thought it was at least the shoulder, but he had his elbow out at his head, too

Even worse. Throw the book at this Neanderthal

Jumping a player is sometimes called assault and other times bullying

 

[SensontheRush]

Late hit but not to the head. Had Grieg answered the bell it wouldn’t have happened. Live by the sword, die by the sword

Pretty clearly Xhekaj rocked the right side of his face/head with the dirty chicken wing. Lucky it didn't cleanly connect. No place for stuff like that in Hockey.

Well then I will see Montreal in next years draft lottery drawing with the ducks

That is exactly what Pare did. And Xhekaj tonight.

yes you can get a 5min major and game misconduct for interference. it has happened before.

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

Brother that’s happening even if we replace Xhekaj with McDavid

Does this replay not show his head being targeted or am I crazy? I don’t feel like it’s helping the case at all for Xhekaj

 

[thebestnic]

The real story here is how the Habs PK is more broken than Laine’s leg

It's brutal man

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Silly Stützle, bringing his stick up and hitting himself in the face like that.

Please don't ask about where Xhekaj's elbow was. See, no, it was the *stick* that did it.

 

[The Great Weal]

That is exactly what Pare did. And Xhekaj tonight.

And Reaves in their fight then. Can't have it both ways. Either both Xhekaj and Reaves were turtling, or neither were turtling and were unprepared to get "jumped".

Stootz truly has perfected the art of self victimization. Perfect for a city like Ottawa.

 

[Strangle]

Repeat offender x2 now

And Reaves in their fight then. Can't have it both ways. Either both Xhekaj and Reaves were turtling, or neither were turtling and were unprepared to get "jumped".

Didn’t Reaves fall over the corner of the net?

 

[CanadienShark]

yes you can get a 5min major and game misconduct for interference. it has happened before.

It's a bad call. That's it, that's all. Just like the offsetting roughing calls that went along with it. Brady at minimum deserved an instigator.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Pretty clearly Xhekaj rocked the right side of his face/head with the dirty chicken wing. Lucky it didn't cleanly connect. No place for stuff like that in Hockey.

Late hit for sure but a totally different result if Stutzle doesn’t hit himself with his own stick.

Well then I will see Montreal in next years draft lottery drawing with the ducks

Always good to have friends to support each other during the season. I’m all for it

 

[HockeyFan100]

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

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Deserved nothing last game but this one is a suspension no question.
