Xhekaj tossed from another game.

[CowbellConray]

We are seeing this preseason what is happening when a) the league doesn't police bad hits appropriately and b) players feel they need to police things themselves due to rats

If the league suspended Xhekaj after last game (like they should have), he doesn't get the opportunity to make this hit. If Greig gets 5 and a game for his late high hit on Dach (Which he should have), this hit doesn't happen either.

League is behind the ball when it comes to actually stopping this type of scummy play

Stutzle hit his head with his own stick. Period.

Stutzle screwed Stutzle

 

[Bottomshelf]

The refs looked at it and switched it from a hit to the head to interference after the fact (still a deserved 5 minutes and a game) not sure how that will factor in but at ice level they reviewed and switched it. Hated the hit when I watched it, not necessary at all

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

So much hate for a player that everyone would want in their team.
Imagine defending ur teammates in a era where hockey players are turning into soccer players

 

[DackellDuck]

Lol this is so cringy. I don't know you at all man it's weird for you to be so emotionally vulnerable with me.

I’lm sure ill see you at the rally in support of Kirby Dach’s recovery tomorrow.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

What are you talking about? the ref was already standing on Xhekaj by that point, he didn't want Brady to land any cheap shots on his head since he couldn't defend himself at that point. That's not a turtle my guy lol.

If Brady wanted to actually fight him, he shouldn't have pulled him down. But it doesn't look like Brady wanted any part of actually fighting Xhekaj on their skates, and I can't say I blame him.

Lol Brady is not afraid of Xhekaj, I can promise you that.

Remember when he ran the gauntlet and beat up every single Montreal dman over the course of the season during the Covid season? I'm sure he'd be happy to do it again, except now he knows it would be a horrible tradeoff for his team to take off a pylon like Xhekaj for 5 minutes.

"hits like this happen all the time in hockey"

yes, I'm aware flying blindside headshots happen all the time. and they're usually followed with a major+game misconduct and a multi-game suspension.

 

[KILLger]

It's funny, he was hiding behind the ref when Brady came after him last season too.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Stutzle hit his head with his own stick. Period.

Stutzle screwed Stutzle

Exactly.

Except for the blindside hit.

Defended his teammate by going after a completely different player, okay sure bud.

 

[HabzSauce]

Someone injures Habs player: "oh, it was an accident"

A Habs player doesn't even injure other player (see video below for proof): "suspend him!"

Bumping this again. I see the same posters completely ignoring this for some reason. Ignorance is bliss

 

[Bizz]

Stutzle hit his head with his own stick. Period.

Stutzle screwed Stutzle

except you're leaving out the part when Xhekaj hit him in the head, while jumping, from his blindside.

the Refs review these things now. there's no sense in defending it anymore.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Blood or not that's still a bad hit.

Dude takes himself out of position and actively tries to catch Stutzle with something as he passes.

Given he just got fined 3k for the Pare incident i wouldn't be surprised if Xhekaj gets suspended for this.

You should watch the video with your eyes open this time.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Habs fans will probably threaten to call the police on a Sens player again like when Eric Gryba hit #81…

You’re going to have to get some new material. The chara joke is so 2010

 

[Knave]

Montreal is like that chick that says she hates drama and it just follows her everywhere. As if she has nothing to do with the drama.

If every game you play you're involved in dirty plays - maybe you are the dirty team. It's simple.

 

[FLHabs]

Stutzle hit his head with his own stick. Period.

Stutzle screwed Stutzle

This. Lots of posters on here gonna feel real dumb once they see the angle that CLEARLY shows Xhekaj barely grazed Stuzle and just caught his hands which made him hit himself with his own stick lmao

 

[Bizz]

I watched it. multiple times. from all angles and speeds.

Flying. Blindside. Hit.

Anyone that tries to say otherwise is coping and seething.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Lol you think that's Brady who's afraid to drop them there? Brady is the one who goes over to ask if he wants it, Xhakej chooses to grab him with his gloves still on instead of dropping them like a man.

Xhakej clearly wants none of Brady, even though it would be a sweet tradeoff for his team, he still won't take that fight. Don't blame him one bit. There is no doubt Brady would pummel him into the ice like he did Chiarot and Weber.

Defending his teammate from a 2 minute interference penalty…

Look at the video man, Xhekaj didn't jump nor did he even make contact with Strudel.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Hopefully this shitbag left Costco on good terms.

Some things are timeless.

Didn't Brady chicken out of fighting Arber last season?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Stutzle can thank Greig for that.

Same hit.

There's no thanking anyone for anything. Greig's play happened, he fought, then a guy on Montreal blindsided Stutzle.

f***ing moron couldn't even fight Tkachuk properly. Hopefully stu is ok from an Ottawa pov.
