Wow: an opponent ran away from Arber Xhekaj mid game and is afraid of him
Among the really striking elements to note since Arber Xhekaj has been with the Laval Rocket, in the American League, is the immense respect he commands on the ice.
We see things that are practically unheard of during Rocket games, like players literally running away from Xhekaj.
The Sheriff certainly lives up to his name.
It's noticeable that the other players (and goalies) of the Rocket are much less jostled by their opponents since Xhekaj's arrival.
We had another example of this yesterday.
Scott Matla recounted a scene against the Syracuse Crunch yesterday, where Xhekaj asserted his authority.
"Arber Xhekaj just shoved someone away from Jakub Dobe� after the Rocket goalie made a save, said player turned, saw who shoved him and just grabbed a different Rocket player instead." -Scott Matla
Wow, you can't make this stuff up! We love it!
He's transforming this team, and he's transforming his own game.
Arber Xhekaj has only taken one penalty in six games, while scoring three points and still being very physical.
That's exactly what Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton were asking of him!
