Arber Xhekaj Reveals What Jordan Greenway Told Him While Backing Away
One of the highlights at the start of yesterday's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Sabres was the altercation between Arber Xhekaj and Jordan Greenway.
Last Saturday, Greenway collided with Canadiens rookie goalie Jakub Dobes, and last night, Xhekaj made sure to send him a message.
However, Greenway was literally backing away from him and wanted nothing to do with facing the music against the Sheriff.
Arber Xhekaj addresses the situation in a press conference
In his post-game press conference, Xhekaj had this to say:
Arber Xhekaj on Greenway turning down a fight after his altercation with Dobes Saturday:
"You're going to get in my goalie's face, you're going to give him a shot, you better expect something the next game. When I asked him, he looked at me like I had three heads. Like, are you serious right now?"
You can't say he didn't try, that's for sure!

Greenway didn't exactly look like the bravest player in the world in this situation, to put it mildly.
Let's not forget that RDS analyst Marc Denis, who is positioned right between the benches of both teams, reported that Xhekaj invited Greenway to fight multiple times, but to no avail.
