Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[Ryan O'Byrne]

Got to love the people saying it was a head shot . If it was the refs would have called it that and not interference . It was his own stick that hit his face

 

[Prairie Habs]

Guys a scrub, gonna get suspended for another low IQ play

You talk about your captain that way?

 

[Korpse]

This sums up perfectly what happened.

Hopefully Sens management saw this and ships it off to the league. The retribution angle should sink Xkehaj.

I don’t like Greig at all and youll know why from my display pic lol but you could have added after a 1:30 shift too. Not sure how people think Wifi on Stutzle is anything similar to Greig hitting a guy way bigger than him in the chest. Kind of the exact opposite situations honestly

How do you think it's any different?

Both hits were late? Check.
Both hits could be considered blindside? Check.
Both hits had players raising their arms slightly? Check.
Both hits didn't have main contact points of the head (or possibly even any contact point)? Check.

 

[SensFactor]

Guy has been injured so many times, he hates when stuff happens like this - and he knows what happens when it does.


For what? A hit to the gloves?

He was going for head with his elbow. He missed, if he connected he would be gone. Greig hit shoulder to shoulder...yes it was a penalty for being late but it was a hard hit. If you cant see that i dont know what to tell you.

 

[Natey]

You're right. He plays for the Habs and they don't exactly have a strong roster.

Almost every team in the league would pick him up if he was put on waivers, including the Senators. Don't kid yourself.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

It's gonna be fun to watch the Habs finished at the bottom of the division again. Thank you Xhekaj!!! Lol

Yes unlike the senators who haven’t made the playoffs since 2017 lmao

It didn't against the Leafs. It may be different for the Sens though?

You have no idea what he was going for, stop acting like you do. It's absolute bullshit and you know it.

 

[Knave]

He is handsome and a complete pushover. I'm sure lots of organizations and their people would try picking him up.

Every NHL roster though? You sure see a lot of things most Habs fans and the fans of 31 other teams don't.

It's the same hit but players of various sizes change the final result.

Maybe he should talk to his own teammate about not playing like an idiot in preseason first.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

he did nothing wrong

 

[The Expert]

Getting pretty loose with the term “turtling” here they both jump at each other loll

Assuming something is lost in translation, it was a perfect example of a tortue. Does that make sense now?

When a guy keeps his gloves on and covers his head with them, that's the definition of a turtle.

I didn't say every, I said almost every. And yes, teams would most definitely claim him and drop some spare 7th defenseman who is just there for to be a stop-gap. Would he start for every team? Hell nah. He doesn't start every game for Montreal. But almost every team would take him.

 

[MoneyManny]

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

He had the sun in his eyes, he was shooting against the wind, his dog ate his homework.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

lol at Sens fans trying to convince themselves Xhekaj turtled against Tkachuk. The ‘never been in a playoff game’ captain didn’t even come back after being taken down first.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Greig's hit was to the neck and head and a blind side hit. What Xhekaj was intending to do is IRRELEVANT. Only what happened - Stutzl'e stick to his own face is. Otherwise every bad hit thrown that completely miosses would be a penalty. Anyone who doesn't see that needs glasses.

I have no dog in this fight but you did leave out Dach being 6’4 220 and stutzle being 6’ 190 and Wifi being 6’4 240. Wifi is easily going to hurt someone way easier in a meaning less pre season game then 185lb Greig is

 

[Sasha Orlov]

lol at Sens fans trying to convince themselves Zhekaj turtled against Tkachuk. The ‘never been in a playoff game’ captain didn’t even come back after being taken down first.

Gonna be interesting to see the reaction when they actually fight next game lmao

 

[Natey]

Just in case you need help reading, that's Jake Evans, not Arber Xhekaj. Nice try though!

Weird, his gloves must have been glued on.

Remind me again what this years size limit is for hitting?

Refs ruled one a 2min and the other a major penalty. I guess you are always right? Ill stick with the refs who know their job

 

[Fatass]

not only that, back to back games with intent to do harm in retribution. Habs fans pointing out a hit earlier in the game is doing their player no favours here. If that’s going to be the narrative the league has to do something significant.

X’s teammates will do something significant. The skilled Habs (especially the little ones like Caufield) don’t want rough stuff. They will tell x to simmer down. The Habs couch is little. He knows what it’s like for the little players when their teammate is running around targeting other clubs elite skill. That makes the Habs elite skill, especially the little guys, targets. X is going to get it from his teammates and head coach.
