Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[Leaf Fans]

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

Is that what you are doing? Whatever floats your boat. For me, I just watch the games, but you do you.

 

[Habby4Life]

Returned the favor. Grieg took his shot at Dach, Wifi gave Stutzle the receipt.

Good job Wifi

 

[The Expert]

This is what happens when you take the guy who puts your hotdog in the wrapping at Costco and make him your “tough guy”.

Xhekaj can’t keep up in the play and he can’t fight.

Harsh but true.

 

[Ezekial]

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.

Shit takes happen

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Montreal is imploding. Fantastic.

pre-season game between scrubs?

 

[Golden_Jet]

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

Which Struble did the same on Greig, Johnson said it was close to the same, just no penalty on that one.
Pezetta also already had a 10 minute misconduct earlier.

 

[Communal Blood]

This plug looks fairly hypocritical following the Paré hit.

 

[swiftwin]

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

"Connected with the chin".

Lmao. Keep on Habsing

 

[Three On Zero]

Bad hit to go for for Stutzles stick did 99% of the damage

 

[Scotianhab]

People are funny. If Wifi was placed on waivers tomorrow 95% of the teams would put In A waiver claim.

 

[Natey]

Shit takes happen

Yes, that's what I thought when I read your comment.

Interference has never happened before in the NHL. Thanks for teaching me that.

 

[DaPhazz]

Then the Habs wonder why they have so many injuries.

Oh yeah, cause Reinbacher's injury and Dach's where direct retaliation eh? Man the stupid shit coming out of some people's mouth lol.

 

[bud12]

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.

His stick clearly popped his helmet off. And it was a shoulder hit. Elbow was up AFTER the hit. Clearly a late blindside hit like the Greig one

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Ridly Greig injured bot Stutzle and Tkachuk. FAFO

 

[The Great Weal]

It’s not what he would have done but it was the rule as applied by the refs.

It can be hard yes.

So now you're backtracking. We should listen to him about his comments on the Grieg incident but not take his word for it about the Xhekaj incident. I guess we should all just listen to you a qualified expert who just went back on his word.

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.)

There you go. Late hit for both players. One had his stick in the way which resulted in getting a stick in the face while the other one did not. Very similar hit - Late and unnecessary but if you're going to target our best player and not answer the bell you have to expect the other team player hard on your star players.

That's what Habs fans are complaining about?

Better players have already cleared waivers in the pre season. This guy costs his team more than he helps them.

Another goal! Habs are getting bullied physically and on the scoreboard here.

I would want my team to put in a claim.

 

[swiftwin]

This plug looks fairly hypocritical following the Paré hit.

Always been. I called it when Laine got hurt. He has a history of trying to injure players in preseason. I understand he's not NHL caliber and trying to make a name for himself, but he needs to focus on being a better player, not a hired goon to injure players.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Can’t even imagine the ban id get for saying this, yikes

Where's the lie.

 

[Fatass]

The hit on Dach was a good 2 seconds late. Blindside.Definite contact to the head. Dach didn’t went out for fun.

Whatever intention he had, the result is the result, he should have answered the music when Pezzetta asked him, who isn’t a fighter and not a big guy. It’s the code.

Don’t get what you’re trying to say. Both hits were late. One targets the head and the other is shoulder to shoulder. X is getting suspended. Or he should be. His hit was an obvious attempt to hit the head and cause serious injury. Imo the Habs will give him a good talking to. If he continues along his current cowardly path, they will dump him.

 

[Golden_Jet]

. Xhekaj makes the little rat diver hit himself with his stick and gets jumped by Brady? Xhekaj gets the game.

That’s not why Xhekaj got the game,

 

[Natey]

"Connected with the chin".

Lmao. Keep on Habsing

"Brady won." Keep on Sensing.

 

[notbias]

Montreal fans spent 5 days telling everyone how tough X was because Pare turtled when he got jumped just for him to turtle when Tkachuk grabbed him, what a bum.
