Арбер лучший!
Love Xhekaj, but Lowry’s hit was clean.
Brutal? That was a routine hit
That hit was a beauty. I'm a Bruins fan. Any time a hab gets smeared along the boards, I smile wide.
At this rate, carriers' careers will be shortened. He's an easy small target for punishment…..concussions galore
beautiful hit
Hit was clean and brutal.
Respect to Jackeye for standing up for his mate.
Respect Lowry for answering the bell.
You could tell pretty quick they weren’t in it hurt each other, just fighting for the code.
RESPECT
Arber Xhejak wasn't himself for the beginning of this the season, he needs to work on his balance by getting stronger ankles and finding a strategic style, his confidence and motivation were at zero because he was held by his coach to concentrate on his defense.
He was afraid and displeasing his coach and also putting his team in trouble because in his fights this season, I saw that Arber was hesitating to fights.
Everybody who hates Montreal came to conclusion that he was afraid of Mcdermid from the Ottawa Senators because he denied Mcdermid request at the Bell Center.
Believe me Arber isn't afraid of nobody but he lost those fights because of his hesitation and lack of concentration.
Every enforcers in the NHL will tell you that you lose some and you win some…
Xhekajski does more dancing than fighting. I remember when fighters actually threw punches
This is everything that's wrong with the moderrn NHL….
Guys don't stand up for themselves anymore……
Take his number and deal with him later, instead the goon attacks and don't get penalized for it
Not being allowed to take the helmet off is one of the dumbest rules man, they basically outlawed actually fighting with that these are literally all wrestling matches now
Pretty clean hit I would say, but the sheriff took the win on that one!
Another true captain answers the bell when needed unlike Matthews
Why do people gripe about there not being as many fights anymore, then whine about fighting when they do happen?
Fights after clean legal hits are getting old and ruining hockey
Leaf and Sens fans all over the comments, whining about Xhekaj dropping Lowry… sheesh
What a farce – cheap shot Xhekaj – tough guy – – BAHHAHAHA what a f'ing loser POS
Clean or not, your hit makes a guy fly like that you otta answer for it. Good on Xhekaj for a great fight.
Lowry is 6’5”..
Not bad Xhekaj for ragdolling him at the end.
Big hits and fisticuffs, I love it!
Xhekaj tried to run as soon as Lowry touched the ice
Was that supposed to be a fight ?
Despite this, the rest of the game was pretty tame
I love how Lowry still had a hold of him as he tried running away like the fight was done
tkachuk victim
More of ^ this please
Love to see it
“Brutal” may be a stretch ha great hit
Imagine trying to fight Jackeye on the ice that would be brutal man I wouldn’t even try to fight him
Another non fight fight. Boring.
Arber was too scared to take on MacDermid the night before. This was a lame fight with no real punches landed
What bell did he actually answer?
If you dont understand the code in the nhl… this is a perfect example… hit is clean..but …its one of them hits both sides understands has to be answered for … the montreal enforcer realizes he has the captin from Winnipeg in bad situation.. .he throws to dummy punches and does the right thing and let's him off the hook. …. for a clean hit remember .. this is hockey code 101 …
no guns sheriff didnt really want to fight, wrapped it up as soon as possible, the hit was absolutely great though
Geez. Arber swung him around like a rag doll 😮
So even Sportsnet is playing the click bait game now. Lowry finished his check.
Thanks sportenet! Clean bout boys!
Anotherfight due to a clean hit with no injury.
I don't get it anymore. It was a totally clean hit.
Lmao that was it? 😂
I would take both guys on my team anyway!! Tons of heart.
hit was pretty clean but given Lowry;s height was above the neck. what's a code? it determines how you beat someone up? if so, what's the point and what message are you sending? You either beat the guy up or our don't otherwise why won't the perpetrator do it again? bottom if you have Olivier this stuff rarely happens because people are justifiably afraid to drop their gloves so less likely to take liberties. if they have to answer THAT bell they may not finish the game. just ask Matt Rempe and countless others.
Once again, jackeye can’t do sh*t if he doesn’t get the jump. What a geek.
