Clearly, one of the officials seemed tired of having to "deal with" Florian Xhekaj, who was involved in every scrum, and he made it very clear to the youngster.
See what TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau had to say about it.
"The referee looks at Florian after the whistle and says something like: 'Go to the bench, tabarn**!'
Now that's a guy who really wants to leave his mark."
Now that's a guy who really wants to leave his mark."
Florian Xhekaj is really motivating to watch, that's for sure! Last night, he was one of the only players trying to create something and bring energy to his teammates.
Do you believe he really has a chance to start the season in Montreal? It really seems to come down to him, Oliver Kapanen, Samuel Blais, and Joe Veleno-considering that Joshua Roy no longer seems very much in the mix.
Xhekaj, 21, is a big forward standing 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the 4th round of the 2023 NHL Draft (101st overall).
He collected 35 points in 69 games last season with the Laval Rocket, including 24 goals.
