jackass is not helping himself towards the refs community…22 and already building himself a solid reputation what are the habs doing he should be better surrounded he is not without talent…
I'll leave this here for anyone that wants to read the rule:
Rule 62 – Spearing > 62.1 Spearing – Spearing shall mean stabbing an opponent with the point of the stick blade, whether contact is made or not. > 62.2 Double-minor Penalty – A double-minor penalty will be imposed on a player who spears an opponent and does not make contact. > 62.3 Major Penalty – A major penalty shall be imposed on a player who spears an opponent (see 62.5). > 62.4 Match Penalty – A match penalty shall be imposed on a player who injures an opponent as a result of a spear. > 62.5 Game Misconduct Penalty – Whenever a major penalty is assessed for spearing, a game misconduct penalty must also be imposed. > 62.6 Fines and Suspensions – There are no specified fines or suspensions for spearing, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).
If the officials don't want fights to break out, they need to start doing their job. Otherwise, players are forced to solve it themselves. Kudos to Graves for (finally) stepping up at the end of the game after another dangerous play by Xhekaj.
Ref is like – what? Nothing here, just a spear to the balls. Move on. I don't know what's worse, bad reffing or refs who think they are better than they really are? I've seem more missed and terrible calls in 6 weeks than I saw all last year? Reffing absolutely sucks.
I am a Canadien’s fan but this is a very dirty hit right in front of the umpire who did nothing. Arbre deserves a one game suspension. Umpires at hockey are the worst of all professional sports.
For the fools that don't know what spearing is: Rule 62 – Spearing
62.1 Spearing – Spearing shall mean stabbing an opponent with the point of the stick blade, whether contact is made or not.
62.2 Double-minor Penalty – A double-minor penalty will be imposed on a player who spears an opponent and does not make contact.
62.3 Major Penalty – A major penalty shall be imposed on a player who spears an opponent (see 62.5).
62.4 Match Penalty – A match penalty shall be imposed on a player who injures an opponent as a result of a spear.
62.5 Game Misconduct Penalty – Whenever a major penalty is assessed for spearing, a game misconduct penalty must also be imposed.
62.6 Fines and Suspensions – There are no specified fines or suspensions for spearing, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).
Bunting has a history of diving to get calls. He also has a history of chirping at the officials. He's not likely getting the benefit of the doubt from the officials for anything that isn't super obvious. This one was obvious, but when a player has a history of trying to make officials look bad they don't get the calls all the time.
Why? He’s got a booming shot, he hits, he fights why play this kinda game? Player safety know his play style enough to keep him sitting out for every infraction if he keeps up the cheap shots

It's called circumcision. Give it a chance, it's a sporty look.
Try doin that to the leafs

Huge dive
Spearing, and Xhekaj proves he's a loser.
Useless unfair bastard

Don't touch the goalie's glove when he has the puck covered. And Bunting was fine when he realised he wasn't drawing a penalty.
When will the league drop the hammer on this dirty player.
Having Xhekaj in the lineup against the Penguins but not the Capitals makes zero sense. I have no idea what the Montreal is doing with him.
Habs fan here, send the guy down or trade him…
time to pull a Bobby Clarke on Xhekaj

Bunting has a history of flopping. It makes the refs look bad and they don't like it.

Bunting has "cried wolf" way too many times and has embarrassed officials by diving. His reputation makes it tough for him to draw a penalty.
A typical dirty play from the biggest goon in the NHL.
How did that idiot even get on the ice. No talent
Bunting with the dive. How embarrassing. Didn't even hit low enough.
There was no spearing on the play…embellishment
Unless Bunting is one of those Star Trek aliens, that looked more to be in the abdomen than the family jewels
These commentators make Jack Edwards look professional and completely unbiased…😅
Arber jackass

Refs didn't call the spear to the balls because most players today don't have balls………..
Arber is a bum,he’ll get his yet! Just wait till he does it to the wrong guy!
Or the right guy!
Wasn't no Speer LMFAO
Jackeye is a turnstile as a defencemean, All he can do is fight. I wathched the Habs Kraken game the other day and jackeye looked terrible.

Cry me a river. A little tap and everybody loses their minds. Are we watching figure skating or what?
What a plug
Why is wifi even in the NHL?
these last two seasons i’ve been such a Xhekaj fan but he’s honestly running his career to the ground this season
The Xhekoff clown carnival continues.
Whn you thought is was Guhl – You said Guhls had a man strak – But XHKAJ – thr was no plac for it! HYPOCRIT!
Jackeye vs one eye
bunting deserves an oscar ffs
