St-Louis Just Delivered a Chilling Message and revealed the reason he scratched Xhekaj
In the last few minutes, we've learned some surprising news.
Against all expectations, despite his apologies, young defenseman Arber Xhekaj has just been scratched from the Canadiens' lineup and is sent to the stands for tonight's game.
You can imagine that this is a decision that is causing a lot of reactions, especially since trade rumors involving Xhekaj are flying everywhere.
Martin St-Louis Breaks the Silence and Explains His Decision Quite Coldly
We assume he gave another explanation to young Xhekaj, a much better one (and that's perfectly fine), but see how St-Louis justified his decision to the journalists.

Well...
It's up to you to draw your own conclusions, but let's just say it's a response that speaks volumes. Again, it's nothing to help rebuild confidence in the young player. (and nothing to prevent him from completely losing his nature and changing too much)
Xhekaj, 22 years old, 6 feet 4 inches and 240 pounds, has accumulated three points and 53 penalty minutes this season. (in 19 games)
Will the Sheriff be sent back to the Laval Rocket in light of all this?
