It's clear that the Montreal Canadiens players haven't forgotten the dangerous hit delivered by Nick Cousins on Ivan Demidov in Quebec back in September.
Here's a reminder of the footage:
Today, the message coming from the Canadiens locker room was loud and clear: they haven't forgotten what Cousins did to Demidov.
Arber Xhekaj himself commented on the matter:
"We remember what happened," confirmed Arber Xhekaj after Friday's practice. "Nobody likes dirty hits like that."
No, Nick Cousins likely won't be having a pleasant evening tomorrow!
"We see them so often," said Xhekaj, whose circle of enemies keeps growing in the nation's capital.
"We're two young teams trying to make a name for ourselves and become contenders for the Stanley Cup," he continued. "Our rebuilding processes are pretty much at the same stage, so we're two teams that don't really like each other."

During his show on BPM Sports, host Georges Laraque went even further:
Knowing Arber Xhekaj and Josh Anderson, Georges Laraque believes Nick Cousins won't finish tomorrow's game
That sets the tone nicely!
"Oh no, you won't finish the game.
Nick Cousins, you've been such a coward!
You were such a coward you didn't even want to play the last preseason game against the Montreal Canadiens. You're coming to our house, there are guys coming after you and you know it... Someone's going to take care of you!"

Can't wait to see how this one unfolds tomorrow night!
