We were treated to an entertaining moment last night between the Montreal Canadiens and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Beyond the fight itself, I absolutely loved seeing the immense mutual respect between the two players.
That's actually the part people are talking about the most today-especially on BPM Sports-regarding that sequence involving Xhekaj and Deslauriers.
Nicolas Deslauriers made a subtle gesture after his fight with Arber Xhekaj, and it shows just how much respect he has for the young Montreal Canadiens defenseman
It happens near the end of the following video, when Deslauriers makes a hand (and head) gesture to congratulate and thank Xhekaj after the fight.
A true pro!
Yes, there was a lot of mutual respect between the two players:
"The Philadelphia Flyers were trailing 4-3 in the third period and needed a spark. Out of respect for his viral moment, Xhekaj accepted "D-Lo's" invitation to dance."

They even had a conversation afterward, right from the penalty boxes.
"I'd love to hear the conversation that Habs Arber Xhekaj and Flyers' Nicolas Deslauriers are having in penalty box. I believe there's a mutual respect there."

We love it!
It's always great to see that kind of sportsmanship from true professionals.
