I went with the NESN feed for this scrap, for two reasons. The first being, who knew Bergie, was a lefty? The second being, I agree Patrice is back. He’s been the Patrice of old this Montreal series and it’s great to see. If I were the Habs, I would stop trying to intimidate, and be overly physical with these guys because it’s not worked the last 2 games. If I am the Bruins, I stay the course. I can’t wait for tomorrow night!

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but Arber “WiFi” Xhekaj got into yet another fight over the weekend. This type of goonery does our hearts good, and his time he tangled with former Canadien (and tough hombre in his own right) Nicolas Deslauriers of the Philadelphia Flyers. Incidentally this is WiFi’s 3rd scrap of the year and Deslauriers’ 6th. Deslauriers now moves into the lead for fighting majors in the 2022-2023 NHL season.
The fight itself wasn’t very memorable. WiFi lays a nice hard hi...
2022-11-22Arber "Wifi" Xhekaj Has Our Attention
The WiFi is at it again! And I don't mean my router just shat the bed. Last night in Columbus, Arber “WiFi” Xhekaj of the Montreal Canadiens, and Matthieu Olivier of the hometown Columbus Blue Jackets had a spirited little bout as the second period came to a close.
While we've recently bemoaned the reduction of fighting and the classic goon archetype in the "New NHL", it sure feels like there've been quite a few squaring-ups over the last week, eh? Your thoughts are welcome in the comments....

For the initiated, Monday night's game was what one would call domination. The Bruins stood over the Blackhawks, like the cover art from Straight Outta Compton, in all facets of the game. I am certainly not counting the Hawks out - but right now the Bruins appear to be very much in the driver's seat of this series. Game three did give us the only fight to date, and since we are a blog dedicated to fighting in hockey - let's talk a bit about the donnybrook in question.
Brad Marchand is a supe...

Saturday afternoon I was at a graduation party (congratulations, Nick!) with a ton of feverish Bruins fans. Obviously, the game was all we were talking about. I asked George what he thought, and his response was, It'll be a 5-1 blowout. Could go either way. I think it's a huge statement game. While George was incorrect about the lopsidedness of the final score, I agree - it was a huge statement game indeed.
After being outshot 678 to -4 in the first period and generally being outplayed all o...

Absolutely no hesitation – I loved it. I know he’s not a fighter, and it’ll be a good amount of time before we see him drop the gloves like that again, but gotta give the man some props, he wooped em’.
