Last night's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, live from Quebec City, literally turned into a fiasco.
As Alexandre Carrier very well mentioned in his post-game press conference, during the third period, the Habs players were simply trying to avoid injuries and many dangerous hits.
We can think of Hayden Hodgson on Alex Newhook, Donovan Sebrango on Kirby Dach, and several others, but the one everyone is talking about today is without a doubt the slash delivered by Nick Cousins to young Ivan Demidov.
As Eric Engels reports, there will be possible consequences.
In short, we were really wondering why Cousins decided to make such a move, especially knowing he would then have to answer to brothers Florian and Arber Xhekaj.. But here it is, the answer!
It went unnoticed, but it's worse than we thought and it's more cowardly than we thought of Cousins.
Nick Cousins went after Ivan Demidov because Arber Xhekaj had been ejected from the game!
Unbelievable.. Same goes for his brother, by the way!
"This was not only a dirty slash by Nick Cousins to intentionally injure Ivan Demidov, it was also cowardly to do it after Arber Xhekaj had left the game"

That's such a good point!
If Xhekaj had still been in the game, would Nick Cousins have done it?
Knowing how fearful and cowardly he is, allow me to doubt it!
That said, as you know, Arber Xhekaj is capable of having a long memory, so Cousins might well regret it in the end.
