We got a lively and very entertaining clip earlier today on BPM Sports, following Arber Xhekaj's inaction last night.
It definitely got people talking today, especially since Xhekaj didn't step in after Tom Wilson's hit on Jake Evans. Not only did Xhekaj not drop the gloves with Wilson, but he didn't even throw a single hit.
Let's just say it's hard to understand, and that's exactly what Gilbert Delorme discussed today on BPM Sports.
A very clear message for Arber Xhekaj on BPM Sports
Here's the essence of what was said:
"You jump on the ice and you go straight at him! Bang!"
- Delorme
"Xhekaj, honestly I don't know what it's going to take.
Is he shaken from the two beatings he took? I don't know...
No reaction after Wilson's hit on Jake Evans!"
- Marcotte
"Go jump him, for f***'s sake!
You jump him, I don't care!
Take a five-minute penalty, I don't care!
I don't care!
But for that elbow on Evans... You go after him!
He doesn't want to fight?
Jump him!
You have no choice but to do that!
Now Tom Wilson is skating around, like he always does, life is good, nobody bothers him!
Last night was the time!"

Do you think this very clear message for Arber Xhekaj will reach the person concerned?
Either way, Arber will now have an extra reason to play with passion and throw his weight around, since his younger brother Florian will now be in the Montreal Canadiens lineup with him!
It should be fun to watch, especially for tomorrow night's game against the Habs' rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs!
