Major: Disturbing Scene as Martin St-Louis Loses His Temper Towards Arber Xhekaj
There is currently a segment shared by BPM Sports, featuring Georges Laraque, that is causing a lot of reaction among Montreal Canadiens fans.
We talked about it a bit earlier, but we absolutely must also talk about the story reported by the host and former enforcer of the Tricolore.
"Interesting story from @GeorgesLaraque: he says MSL apparently ripped into Xhekaj after an L for being too aggressive and since then, Xhekaj has changed his game out of fear of being left out
He then says that he wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't finish the year in Montreal."
- Via HFTV
Laraque indeed recounts that a month ago, Martin St-Louis denatured Xhekaj.
"Before, Xhekaj played well and was an intimidating factor. In a game that the Canadiens lost, Martin lost it, he reprimanded him saying he was too aggressive.
Since that game, Xhekaj hits less and is less physical because he's afraid of getting penalties. [...]" - Georges Laraque
Recall that Xhekaj was rumored to be well acquainted with Laraque this summer.
Knowing this, and with today's news about his reassignment to the AHL, Xhekaj must certainly be worried right now about his long-term position.
