New Scene Unfolds Between Xhekaj and Pezzetta After Their Heated Altercation
The two players lost their patience, and things got heated.
That said, as we mentioned in the article above, we suspected that the tension between Xhekaj and Pezzetta wouldn't last long, and indeed, it didn't.
A few drills later, once the dust settled and the intensity calmed down, we witnessed another viral moment involving the two tough Canadiens players. But this time, it was a much more positive scene.
Reconciliation between Arber Xhekaj and Michael Pezzetta, live from the Bell Centre and right on the ice
Check out the heartwarming footage.
We love to see it, of course!
The intensity is clearly at its peak right now for the Montreal Canadiens, and the players are ready for a tough and competitive game against the Ottawa Senators.
Props to Pezzetta for going to "apologize" to Xhekaj after their little clash, even though it seems like the Sheriff was the one who started it all.
"Important to clarify that the situation started during the previous rotation.
Xhekaj gave Pezzetta a slash, which he didn't appreciate.. Pezz came back to get revenge in the next rotation.
The two then talked, and Pezz smiled and gave Arber a hug."
- Patrick Friolet, RDS
Xhekaj even made a funny comment about the heated exchange to the media after practice:
"I didn't like his mustache this morning! No, seriously, these are intense practices. It's all in good fun and part of the game..
We'll probably go out for dinner together tonight!"
