« C’est un enfant fort. Je sais qu’il est jeune mais c’est une véritable maison. Il est fort et il va se défendre chaque fois qu’il le peut. Je pense que c’est exactement ce qu’il doit faire. – Arber Xhekaj aujourd’hui sur Juraj Slafkovsky

If Slaf is a house, then Arber is….. a castle? 🤷♀️❤
You know what they say, the house always wins. (hopefully)
Loving the physical play from Slaf! I really believe games like last night show how important it is to have big guys with grit who throw their weight around. If we played last night without Xhekaj and Anderson (give Struble honorable mention too) I could see a different outcome even though they weren’t on the scoreboard. The Panthers like to push teams around and they couldn’t last night.
This is also completely new for slaf dont forget it, he was so dominant in junior years he never needed to use his power for something like this. And when played men as a 15 y/o you dont go dick measurimg either
That’s the second player calling Slaf [a house](https://imgur.com/n0ABCZJ) in the past week. The locker room is in agreement.
Peut-être ça vient de là le nickname de Armia.. « The House ». Quelqu’un qui ne tombe pas facilement, qu’on a de la misère à bouger. Pas rapport avec X et Slaf, mais je viens de faire allusion
I need to see slaf in the playoffs. Imagine him playing in Montreal in the playoffs at home? Guy is gonna impact the game in every single way.
Sounds counterintuitive, but I really do hope Slaf reigns in the physicality, he’s a skill guy, should use his size to protect pucks or push opponents off of them, as long as he isn’t soft, I don’t want him to play in a super physical way and risking injury. God knows we don’t want any more injuries. I want him to be more like Nick in that regard.
Best to set the tone early. Mess with our first line and you will pay a price.
We just witnessed the Sheriff hiring his Deputy
Xhekaj has a whole new attitude since returning or he is on some sort of leash. He used to put himself out in front of his teammates. I don’t know if this is good or bad. He hasn’t been looking for fights which is good, but it has literally been zero fights.
Do you think his facial hair naturally grows in that badass style or does he trim it and shape it that way? Asking for a friend
LOL at xhekaj calling anyone else a kid, haha.
