How did he pick the head?

It's for sure late and definitely a penalty but he gets all shoulder. Stutzle high sticks himself and dives.

coming in from the blindside.

wheres the puck? might need to bring back the glow puck just so i can find it in the second replay

Ottawa fans are giddy when running our best guys but man the tears start to flow when they are on the receiving end.

Their tears are delicious. The Sherriff is sending a message to the rest of the league. You mess with the Habs and you get a beating .

 

[habsterr]

Late hit other than that it was clean shoulder to shoulder. Teach Timmy to not hit himself in the face with his own stick. Probably gets a suspension for one or two games.

Everyone keeps talking about the Greig hit but I haven’t seen it. Kind of irrelevant.

Regardless sens fans / habs haters / people who are pissed at wifi are clearly making something out of nothing ITT.

I dont even like the habs or their self obsessed, generally weird fanbase but I can see that xhekaj didn’t make contact with his head (he hit his arms/stick) and also didn’t turtle (he was taken down). Pretending something else happened seems kind of sad to me.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

let me guess, a sens player did something to make this "acceptable" in the eye's of most Habs fans

Pare takes out Laine on purpose and gets jumped? Xhekaj gets the game. Xhekaj makes the little rat diver hit himself with his stick and gets jumped by Brady? Xhekaj gets the game.

And they say there's no bias with these stupid refs lolol

you should remove this part

Identical blindside as Greg’s hit, about the same number of steamboats after the puck is gone but Dach wears his chin strap tight enough so doesn’t eject from his head. Both penalties for interference and happy if both are 5 minutes. One the players stick comes up and hits him in the face the other doesn’t and if Greig doesn’t target a player coming back from a year off hockey the 2nd one doesn’t happen. Don’t start nuthin won’t be nuthin.

people dont pay money to watch Xhekaj, Grieg or Dach play hockey, they pay to watch players like Stutzle. Xhekaj is a headhunting bum in this situation

Jackeye is the Sherrif keeping everyone honest.

The salty tears won't make him go away.

 

[Favster]

I'm a Habs fan and I really don't like this hit. I understand why he threw it, but still, oufff. I don't think he will get suspended for it tbh. It was overturned from hit to the head to interference. 5 mins and game misconduct is the right call IMO but who knows DOPS.

Didn't he take the beating this time?

there is some differences. this hit looks worse than the dach hit. wifi is actually trying to target the head. stutzle is a star player, dach is a middle sixer. this wasnt eye for eye, it was eye for an appendix. i could understand this better if suzuki was lit up. should have just went after greig with a high hit. also dont complain about a suspension if you want to do this stuff, it comes with the territory.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

MTL's captain and superstar Laine got hurt recently, and you would think that as a team they would be an example of fair play and good sportsmanship.

This is shocking behavior from a team of intelligent and distinguished gentlemen. A long standing franchise who sets an example to the rest of the league, ambassadors of the game, peacemakers, fun loving, worldly, wise beyond their years...

Here is Greig hit on Dach. Basically the same hit as Xhekaj on Stutzle. Stupid, dangerous, late hit, but did not hit the head, so no ground for suspension in both cases.

[HabsQC]

Xhekaj is the man. I love what he brings. I don't think he was going foe the head, he wanted to finish his check but he was a bit late and he missed his hit. He's no headhunter. Vs the Leafs he was trying to retaliate against the guy who injured Laine, just like Tkachuk did to him this game.

They lose a couple of middle 6 forwards and the fans think the season is completely lost.

Stick hit his head not Wifi. It was a spill over from Laine and Dach cheap shots.

 

[AvroArrow]

For context, Grieg took a shot at Dach on an almost identical hit.

Only difference is tiny Tim's stick hit his own face to draw blood.

Greig's hit was clean. It wasn't late and shoulder to chest, Wifi is a moron.

Having him in your top six definitely keeps your playoff chances locked away, so the nickname is appropriate.

 

[SnapVirus]

Xhekaj did the exact same thing the Sens player did.

You want to hit us? We’ll do the same. So stop head hunting our best players or else we will do the same.

We never started, we only answered. You dont want us to answer? Dont start the beef. Because Xhekaj will make it worst for you.

 

[therocket9]

Great bodycheck by Arber no suspension no fine.

Weird since he didn't hit his head. No question it was a bit late but it was shoulder to shoulder and Stuzles stick his him in the face.....

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You might want to try harder with your trolling because of how poor it is.

No it isnt. I dont think Xhekaj does that if Grieg doesnt hit Dach late....

Wasn’t late? Tell me you haven’t watched the replay without telling me you haven’t watched the replay, he got penalized for interference, that doesn’t happen if Dach has the puck

What a lame nonsensical conclusion.
