The young Montreal Canadiens defenseman, Arber Xhekaj, just issued a serious warning.
This could change everything for the other Habs players and even prevent some unnecessary injuries.
A few minutes after signing a new two-year contract with the Habs, Xhekaj was at a press conference and took the opportunity to send a very clear message.
Arber Xhekaj already issues a warning to other NHL players
The robust Habs defenseman has already made his intentions known, and we love it.
To conclude his press conference, after mentioning how tightly knit the players are in the locker room and how much he loves his teammates, Xhekaj added this:
"I know I can contribute as a player and with the puck on my stick, I know what I'm capable of as an NHL defenseman, but also having the 'enforcer' side, being able to be a beast on the ice, who can drop the gloves when needed and who can defend his teammates..."
"You won't mess with my teammates because I'm here to make sure that never happens!"
- Arber Xhekaj
Clearly, the Sheriff wants to ensure that his teammates are safe and that opposing players don't take cheap shots at the Montreal Canadiens players this season. We love it.
Watch the full press conference here.
In 44 games with the Canadiens in 2023-24, Xhekaj scored 3 goals and had 7 assists for a total of 10 points. He had 11 points in 17 games with the Rocket during his time with the club.
