Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[Chainshot]

Grieg and Dach settle it up.

Greig building a house right next to Stutzle in the habs heads

House is being built in the basement?

 

[Baksfamous112]

I love Dach as a player. Corrected Grieg himself. Good for him

 

[Mrb1p]

Stupid yes, but at some point you need to send a message. The refs dropped the ball again when they didn't give a 5 to Greig and then he didn't drop the gloves. What do you expect happens next!? That happens.

No It was just stupid

Kirby sent a message right now by pummeling him

 

[dirtydanglez]

clear head shot on a star player in preseason. give him a good suspension.

 

[NyQuil]

Grieg gives up 30 pounds and 4 inches to Dach and fights him anyway.

See an optometrist.

Yes you clearly should. Where is Stuzle stick? Right in his face

Not to mention Greig was 90 seconds into his shift while Dach was fresh out of the box.

He got his shots in.

He’s like a wolverine. All heart.

Goes after a guy at the end of his shift who he has 5 inches and 30+ pounds on. Real stand up guy.

Kirby gave him no choice, then slapped him around.

Both should be respected for the act of going at it , regardless if they win or lose

 

[Baksfamous112]

Very necessary. When a franchise has a history of trying to injure others in preseason, they should not be surprised when other teams return the favor.

Montreal is clearly sending a message here. Both times, it was an opposing player who started this and not wanting to answer the bell.

Habs fans firing up another gofundme as we speak

Has anyone looked up Greig's instagram yet?

 

[NyQuil]

Kirby gave him no choice, then slapped him around.

We saw with Pare that there’s always a choice.

Or when Xhekaj turtled to Tkachuk.

He got worked like a 12 hour shift

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Not out of my mind, no. Just capable of seeing that even if his stick wasn't in the vicinity that Xhekaj still would have hit him in the head.

Who gives a shit. It is irrelevant.

Well I disagree, sometimes you need to fight fire with fire. Specially in pre season. Not always, but 2 games in a row, turning the other cheek, f*** this.

 

[Natey]

Both hits being discussed in this thread are warranted of penalties. WiFi’s hit has absolutely horrendous optics. 100% violent intent where as greig was just kind of instinctively a dick head in the moment.

Preseason is a money grab. Teams should get ready with an in-squad scrimmages. I just watch these games holding my breath the whole time

I'd be okay with in-squad scrimmages.

But you can't tell players like Xhekaj or Greig to ease up, when they're playing other teams, because they're not even full-time NHLers. They need to do what they think will get them a roster spot. In-squad scrimmages they would definitely hold back though and it would prevent these things.

Xhekaj always has vicious intent. Doesn't mean he's trying to seriously hurt someone long-term, but he's most definitely going to put everything he has into every single hit because he wants to win the game.

 

[jbeck5]

unncessary comment and two different situation

I agree. Grieg doesn't have his place here

Huh? The guy who got the 5 and a game.

Bad play, bad player...

 

[Tobias Kahun]

and gets taken to the cleaner.

Atleast he fought unlike xhekaj turtling to a guy who he outweighs by 30 pounds

 

[Knave]

Yeah that they meltdown over nothingburgers and all they can offer is blindside hits to the head. Oh and they turtle like little bitches if they don't have half a foot, 50 pounds and a tired opponent to drop the gloves with.

 

[Evergreen]

Wow Xhekaj is a piece of shit.
