You can absolutely argue intent. But it was ALL shoulder, ZERO head contact, and it was Stutzle's own stick that bloodied him. This was not a headshot. It was late, unquestionably.
Xhekaj tossed from another game.

Yes, quite the message indeed. His penalties have cost the Habs the last two games in a row. What's that message exactly. Unhinged Habs are easy to get off their game? Has having Costco on the team been some sort of deterrent? It doesn't seem much like it, does it?
How many games is this suspension going to be? One, two, three?

you finally got one right.
Xhekaj doesnt do this if Grieg doesn't hit Dach late. Payback kinda thing....
He got jumped and never even had time to get his gloves off. Tkachuk would have gotten eaten which is why he doesn’t fight heavyweights.

Dach is a 3OA pick just like Timmy, career has been derailed by injuries but he’s our only hope to have a 2nd line at this point in the rebuild so dumb move by Greig to hit him late in a preseason game and not expect retaliation, the 4 Habs on the ice should’ve answered the call but they’re all chickenshit so Arber had to and he’s not going to be picky. As for who pays to watch games, more people will be interested for the next tilt because of this hoping Arber and Tkachuk get to square off than anything Stutzle will draw at the gate.
Watching the replay is pur gold. The guy should have no suspension at all. His body never toutched Stutzle head. His own stick did. Should have been a 2min like the Greig hit.

I'm quite familiar with the type of 'people' Costco normally hires to pull their carts (especially during the summer swing). Can't say I'm at all surprised at how this kid has established himself thus far in the league. It's actually quite a bit worrisome, tbh.

As blindside as the Greig hit.
The difference is the stick. Suspend the stick.
Last 2 preseason game. How point have we lost? Zero.
Couldnt care less that he sends message in preseason.

I hadn't seen that angle. So fair point, it wasn't a head pick.
That being said, it looks like Xhekaj is the reason Stutzle's stick rides up, albeit unintentionally. It's a late hit which may still get him in trouble.
As for the rest. Let's can that nonsense. I know Stutzle has a reputation but he didn't deliberately smack himself in the face with his own stick to draw a call in a preseason game none of these players give a shit about.

What an absolutely insane start to the season it's been in Montreal. The franchise is imploding. They lose a couple of mid-level forwards to injury. Their season is apparently over, death threats are being handed out by fans, a rogue dman keeps trying to injure guys but to no avail, they're looking at yet another basement finish, fans are just wanting other team's players to be hurt and we're not yet into game 1 of the season.
What a whirlwind.
What a whirlwind.

The message was quite clear. You mess with any of the Habs you get a visit from the Sheriff. It was a meaningless preseason game who cares if he takes pentalities. Its about sending a message. Cry more though your tears are yummy.

Xhekaj hit him in the shoulder and his own stick hit him. Isn't a player responsible for their own stick? They called it late which it was but as far and the head is concerned, that's nonsense......

He dishes out more beatings than he takes. This a F around and find out moment. And for all you soy boys crying about that beautiful hit on that diving cream puff Stutzle this is old school hockey and you go after our players you're going to pay the price.

Oh ok. So I guess what happened with Pare doesn't count as a beating either.

I don’t honestly think he hit himself in the face but he goes from being dead to popping up to jump on the PP like he’s done many times in his young career

There’s a Sens/Habs preseason rematch on Saturday, then the Habs play both Leafs and Sens in the first week of the season. Unfortunately we won’t not get to see X display his “stand up” routine until Pare and the Marlies play the Rocket in December.
Yes, an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force is applied. In this case the outside force applied to the helmet was a subpar hockey player who acts like a moron on the ice.
