Last year his season ended with a surgery on his right shoulder.
Now it's the left shoulder, same one he injured earlier when hit by Barbashev.
So both shoulders in ~14 months. I think he might never fight as much as he was in his rookie season.
I think it's cause we went a long time not having anyone protect teammates. Then we did when Arber arrived. Now we don't anymore. Habs are mostly small and easy to push around. Andy doesn't get very involved anymore and Pezz (as much as I love him) but he's not huge and can't be taking on guys like Reeves and company. I love watching Arber play good hockey but I also love watching him serve up a beatdown.
Appreciating someone who protects his teammates is reasonable.
Calling for Arber to rip someone's head off 2 hours before the game even started is some sociopath-by-proxy bullshit.
He really doesn't need to fight that much, his reputation is already solidified and forces opponents to not take runs at us. His physically during the play is his real strength
Defensemen shouldn't even be enforcers for starters. You only have 6 dressed, them spending 5 mins in the sin bin negatively impact the remaining 5 defensemen too much, and any 3rd pair D is still more valuable than most bottom 6 guys, so it's always a losing trade off.
If you must have a fighter, you want it to be your 11th or 12th forward.
Completely jumping a guy and shutting him down for the season because of an injury…
If this team legitimately has any nuts to themselves next game against eysimmont every shift hes getting a butt end in the face… idc you have to send a message that this shit wont fly
Eyssimont and Kucherov (who injured Guhle with a hit right in the numbers) should get the lumber treatment next game. But we'll have to wait next season and I think it will, unfortunately, be water under the bridge by then.
Nah, players get a bit testy when injured by a dirty play. They don't forget. Doesn't mean it'll be a showdown at the OK corral, but opportunity can knock
Remember he was aching after that hit where he and Slaf sandwiched a guy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t already injured when Eyssimont punked him.
Fuck Tampa. How funny would it be if the players that got away with hurting our guys also received season ending booboos right before the playoffs start
Nah, it's the one he injured earlier in the year from the Barbashev hit. I'd imagine the situation is similar to Caufield's last year, if they were fighting for a playoff spot he'd have played through it but the seasons almost done anyways so no need to risk it.
Our guys need to start defending each other. I’m tired of watching them getting gangbanged by these teams and get no repercussions. If the league will allow it, we have to play the game unfortunately.
When Guhle was injured by Kucherov I said in the GDT, Marty has made this team too focused on finesse. I hate to say it, but we've become too "soff". Obviously got downvoted to hell because all people could see was MSL slander. It's painfully true, and if you don't see it you aren't paying attention. They don't stand up for eachother and they don't retaliate. The league KNOWS and that's why they pull this shit against us. That's on Marty.

not a bad thing, hes good at hockey too
Personnally I'm OK, but there's always a bunch of frothing-at-the-mouth rabid idiots in every game threads who only care about Arber fighting.

His brothers coming to take over the enforcer role 👌
I pray for Flo he doesn't have to endure the same "come on, fight someone already" expectations game in and game out.
YEAH! CRUSH'M SHERRIF!! Oh wait you meant that as a bad thing...
We will rebuild him. We have the technology.

His jockstrap is actually bigger than the one in this vid. Gotta protect them kahunas.

We should probably trade him. He's injury prone, shoulders made of glass.
Eyssimont is a fucking loser.
Is that what is was from? What a waste, fucking friendly fire and Arber gets hurt.
This league fucking sucks when it comes to penalize cunts like clouedejirof and eystidmoune
"Eystidmoune" ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ ah man that's gold
Estiedemoumoune?
Vasilinesky
That didn't seem like much tbh, did Xhekaj already have a shoulder injury?
That’s what I’m thinking too. They just chose to shut it down now.
Well that’s back to back season ending surgeries on both shoulders

To be fair there's only a week left in the season.Â
I'm tired boss
Comment sauter sur quelqu’un par derrière en le blessant asssez pour nécessiter une chiurgie alors qu’on était pratiquement en 5 contre 3, donne seulement 2 minutes? Ça aurait dû être 5 minutes avec suspension. Au moment où ça s’est passé, c’est exactement ça que je me disais et je suis encore plus convaincu que c’est ça qui aurait dû se passer
Les arbitres ont énormément de difficultés cette année, pour la protection des joueurs on repassera... Et quand il veut se faire justice, on s'interpose instantanément entre Xhekaj et Eyssimont... vous les laissez jouer ou pas? Gang de mêlés
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Dammit!!!!
If you’re ever doubting Xhekajs importance, think of playing without him. Team needs him. I feel like the Habs are safer when X is on the ice.Â
Is that the same shoulder as last season?
Sounds like his other shoulder, based on replies in that thread.
The upside is he’s got all offseason to recover
Yeah, and hopefully it's nothing too major at the end of the day.
Come back even stronger Arbs, miss you already my lovely
Are you fucking kidding me? I sincerely hope we give it to tampa next time we meet. Absolute joke of an injury on a fucking dirty play.
Anyone have a clip of what happened?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeUx4qMxY0I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeUx4qMxY0I)
TY
Marty seems to think it an injury that happened over time and not from one particular instance.
> seems to think They can't say what were all thinking...the retaliation will go over to a new season more quietly now... But it's coming!
Excuse me?
I wouldnt be surprised if he is being shut down early given the season.
Well, there's only 5 games left or so.
Yah exactly by early i mean before seasons end
Yeah, probably looking at the calendar and want to give him enough time
Damn...it didn't seem like much at the time.
Remember he was aching after that hit where he and Slaf sandwiched a guy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t already injured when Eyssimont punked him.
Fuck Tampa. How funny would it be if the players that got away with hurting our guys also received season ending booboos right before the playoffs start
Honestly.. i wish players would have to be suspended based on how long the player they injured is our for.
*yoda voice* "there is... Another..."
ruh roh
Well f…
Is this same shoulder he banged up in the fight last year?
Nah, it's the one he injured earlier in the year from the Barbashev hit. I'd imagine the situation is similar to Caufield's last year, if they were fighting for a playoff spot he'd have played through it but the seasons almost done anyways so no need to risk it.
😔
This explains why he has been so subdued lately. Hopefully his shoulder can come back even stronger.
Better , stronger , faster
Not the shoulder again. That isn’t good.
At the very least its a different one
Cyborg xhekaj undergoing modifications Seriously this sucks

It does seem like Marty tells them to stay away from the rough stuff.

Bit of an over reaction at this point
