After getting activated off of IR early last week, defenseman Arber Xhekaj found himself on loan to the Laval Rocket. The blueliner made his American Hockey League debut with the Montreal Canadiens’ AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, and played in three games with that team last week. How did he do? What did he say to the media? And how long might he stay with the Rocket? On today’s video we take a closer look at this latest Habs development.

He's probably still pissed off
Stop with the sheriff. It's WIFI!!
Great analysis. I will be spending more time on this channel.
Theyre destroying his confidence. Just put him in the lineup and turn him loose…just like in the beginning. If it aint broke dont fk with it.
I definitely miss Xhekaj in the Habs' lineup. Thank you for this update!
MSL must go. The worst coaching staff in the history of the Montreal Canadiens
Montreal doing what they do best.
Have no physical players, and promote tiny players with no spine, and scoring abilities
Your questioning his physical play maybe you should ask the coach and general manager of the Montreal Canadiens they seem to think he is to physical
MSL and management is one Big Pathetic Joke !
MSL should get fired for more than one reason
Great video. Thanks for updated info. GHG
Arber is following the Coach's instructions. No question in my mind. If he's not getting involved physically, that's under orders from the organization. He's probably told to work on his game, not put the team in a negative position.
No worries about this kid other than the fact that if anyone should be in the minors it's Slafkovsky but that's a organizational flaw rather than an Xhekaj issue.
Great video!
If i get sent down and told to work on my defensive game, well thats what im gonna do, you don’t seem to care i stood up for all the players, you prefer sending me down to work on defence, then why the hell should i defend teammates? Im there to work on my defensive game
Great show, b.lue on red is better.
They need to fire the coach
arber said it !!! read between the lines, the habs play slow. marty st louie needs to go they r un watchable at least half the game every game
I said it from the beginning, he should have spent time down on the farm. The show is a big step up for guys who spent full seasons in the farm.. Guys big and can definitely hold his own, but you cant be like Lucy and fight after every hit. He will adjust and come along just fine he's young, and the Habs are not cup contenders now anyhow.
Arber definitely does not deserve this treatment from Habs. I had my fill of them!
