The young Arber Xhekaj is already making a name for himself as a physical player in the NHL, and opposing players are clearly starting to fear him.
Notably yesterday, a sequence was given as an example, and the video is causing a huge reaction.
In the video in question, we see that forward William Nylander was scared of Xhekaj, and instead of going to fight with him to get the puck out of the net, Nylander simply gave up the fight to avoid contact with Xhekaj.
See the result:
Wow...! The Leafs forward was obviously going to be the first one on the puck, but when he saw that it was Arber Xhekaj in front of him, he slowed down and gave him the puck on a silver platter, to avoid getting hit.
That says a lot about Nylander, but also about Xhekaj.
"I see nothing has changed, another first round elimination in the works (if they make the playoffs)"
