Just moments ago, it was time for the rugged Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj to step up to the podium for his press conference.
He clearly had a lot on his chest, especially regarding those who believe he doesn't have a good relationship with his head coach.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Xhekaj practically said that St-Louis made the right decisions by leaving him out of the lineup, simply because the team kept winning, and it doesn't really make sense to change a winning lineup.
And when you think about it, it's true that Martin St-Louis almost immediately put Xhekaj back into action when the team lost a game.
Arber Xhekaj had a lot to say about the rumors surrounding his relationship with Martin St-Louis
Here are a few quotes.
"It's hard to change the lineup when you're winning. It's understandable for sure.
There were guys playing really well, and you can't take players out like that."
