TSN analyst Gord Miller just recently talked about it. He made a major new revelation that speaks volumes about Xhekaj.
A terrifying statement for NHL forwards, especially those looking for trouble and those with a nasty habit of putting themselves in vulnerable positions.
After extolling Xhekaj, who is having a very strong 2022 training camp in Montreal, Gord Miller revealed that Xhekaj literally terrorized the OHL last season.
According to the well-connected TSN analyst, and according to several OHL coaches, junior players were downright afraid to play against Xhekaj.
He was sometimes a man who played with children.
Gord Miller made a great statement on TSN690, talking about Arber Xhekaj:
There are several AHL players who really hope Xhekaj plays in the NHL and never plays in the AHL.
One thing is for sure, Xhekaj already has quite a reputation for toughness and we are very happy to have him in the Montreal Canadiens organization.
And he excels in many other facets of the game. He's not "just" a big, physical, hard-hitting defenseman.
The next question is: Will he start the season in Montreal, in the NHL? What would you do if that was your decision?
