This is an absolute nightmare..

1. Arber Xhekaj has been fined 3385 bucks. Money well spent.

2. I feel bad for Habs fans but people are making it out that Laine was gonna pop in 50 this year. He hasn't been good for years and the Habs took a flyer on him

3. As a life long rangers fan,the habs God i hatred them, then became a fan of this YT Chanel and slowly found my self rooting for this team even excited to watch them this year, that hit on Laine dirty no one wants that but I watched this game and it reminded me of why I became a hockey fan and after this I'll be watching for Jack eye (xhekaj) might be a new favorite player of mine

4. Don’t go through the trolley tracks with your feet six feet apart, no one is obliged to let you through.
   Laine put his own knee in that spot, and any injury is on him.
   Paré was defending as he should have, he couldn’t have gone anywhere else with his left leg if he wanted to move his body to the left after Laine had sucked him to the outside with that dangle.
   I wanted to see him play too, and he will…but expecting guys fighting for Marlies spots to play softer is silly.
   Don’t worry, October 9th we can a have a bench clearing brawl, and all the Habs can go on LITR…best thing for your franchise to be honest.

5. Sad to see in exhibition

6. He wasn't the savior and the problem isn't 1 player name away from playoffs.
   Bob Hartley has already passed an interview IMO.
   By Christmas or sooner St Louis is back to Bantam.

7. AHL or NHL, pare will get what's coming to him the coward. Stand up like a man and answer the bell you coward leaf loser. Pathetic excuse for a goon.

8. I want them to take ot this year.
   Mean that
   I think they could

9. Was about time we get a worthy online response on this worst hockey night I've seen in a long time.

10. After last night i think this is gona be the worse year ever for our habs.Fkn sick of it already

11. No call on the hit on Patrik Laine 😮 of course not it's the NHL 🤔

12. Are Habs future plans crushed?
    Injury-prone + I doubt Laine, Dach, Newhook, Anderson, Reinbacher and Hutson (and St-Louis) will really pan out. This is MY opinion which was overlooked by my pink-glasses and need for hope.
    Tough getting back to reality. Rebuild over?

13. "Some random scrub on Montreal that caught Auston Matthews." Dude, Perry almost killed Tavares a few years ago. Not the same situation obviously but I know for a fact there were a ton of Habs fans that celebrated that. This sucks for hockey fans in general, Laine was set to have a very good season.

14. Leaf fan here; he should be suspended for 5 games.

    Is was a split second decision by Pare but the result doesn’t change.

    Change preseason to 3 games. 1 for the big boys and two for the guys trying to make it.

    You can’t have a guy like that go down before the dance even starts. He’ll be out for two months.

15. Why do we even have our studs out against these absolutely fucking goons in the first place. Stupid ass move from management

16. Future 6D

    Guhle – Reinbacher
    Xhekaj – Konyushkov
    Struble – Mailloux

    With Hutson on the fourth line for the PwrPlay n Xhekaj expulsions

17. Well, since the league won't protect the players, it's time to go back to old-school hockey where the players discipline the problem guys (enforcers).

18. Paré is gonna wind up in the AHL; I just hope someone in the Rocket lineup takes care of business.

19. When are the delusional homers gonna accept that this wanst an intentional play. Laine tried to drive thru into the offensive zone in a wide stance with his knee completely exposed. Pare was in a wide stance too and he barely shifted his legs leading up to the collision. Just an unfortunate collision and i hope laine can come back this season, but we really have people out here saying what arber did is acceptable and calling for the leafs stars to be targeted? You expose yourself as a classless goof if you think that

20. Bottom 6

    Heineman – Kapanen – Gallagher
    F. Xhekaj/Pezzetta – Beck – Thorpe

    Top 6
    Caufield – Hage – Demidov
    Slafkovsky – Suzuki – Dach

21. Bring Dobes as a goaltender. He is already better than Primeau and Montambault! If Montréal wants to make a comeback, they need a strong goalie that will support the young defence man!

22. Xhekaj hunting down Paré reminded me of Shoresy.

    In the Shoresy series it was for a fancy player that tried the michigan which is a big no no in the OSHO. In the Paré case, it's a nobody that went knee-to-knee with a superstar in a pre-season game, also a big no no in the NHL.

    The fine sucks, but I'm sure other Habs will chip in, like when a rookie gets a fine for not having a helmet in his first warmup.

23. your a goof

24. Ontario invading Quebec? Lol these soyboy wouldn’t even get past Gatineau

25. Habs fans are such cry babies. It's hockey, players have been doing this for decades.

26. Laine's season is done. Knee injuries take a pretty long time to heal, and that looked absolutely awful.

27. Leaf Fan here. Couldn't stand the knee. BS knee by a career AHLer. Was hard to watch. Although I don't agree with punces to the back of the head either (don't need another Bertuzzie incident) I don't think anyone should be surprised that Pare got jumped. He deserves some kind of punishment. Can't stand seeing that dirt regardless if it's my team or the other.

28. Habs fans are all trannys

29. His fault

30. Low down dirty play from Pare…
    Got Ulfie Samuelsson/Cam Neely vibes watching that bush league crap.
    And how do the zebras not call a penalty on the play?
    I love me some Arber Xhekaj!!!
    I wish he was wearing a Flyers jersey…dood handled his business and the "boys in the room" or Coach Marty/team need to take care of any fines or whatever.

31. I have been a habs fan for over 50 years and I cannot remember a team that has been cursed with so many injuries as this one, it's heart breaking. If I am not mistaken I think they have led the league in man hours lost to injuries for the last 3 years. I sincerely wish Patrick Laine and David Reinbacher a full and speedy recovery.

32. hahahahahahaha get fked

33. Ouch! That hit on Laine had to hurt bad!? He got hit right on the side of the knee there, that's one of worst spots for the contact to have been at!? U can see just by how his leg whips around after the initial contact!? U can almost see his leg kinda bend sideways at the knee as he gets hit and it sends his leg flying!!?? This is y playing ur top guys in preseason is really risky!!? But u gotta get the guys some game time to get them ready to rock but it's such a risky thing cuz nobody wants to get hurt in a game that doesn't mean shit!?? There's no good way to fix it either aside from doing away with preseason but then players can't use it to tune up for season!? I guess all u can really do is leave it up to players what preseason games they wanna play in and if players would rather not play most of the preseason games to stay healthy for season that'd be their choice and teams could just play younger guys instead and get more looks at their prospects so could kinda be good in 2 ways!?

34. the province of ontario would have TRIED* to invade by now. thank you.

35. absolute heartbreak. laine is a good guy and he didnt deserve this. xhekaj done a right thing, pare should have maned up and take it. if you are gonna dish them out like that you need to be able to take them as well

36. Laine was doing his best Bambi impression Pare doesn’t stick his knee out. His legs are shoulder width apart. I’m convinced Laine doesn’t want to play hockey anymore and he left his leg out to get a season ender so he can stay home playing video games all year.

37. 🤣🤣🤣

38. I was excited for the season before they got Laine and I'm trying to remind myself of that today.

39. Wow you’re totally unbiased! What a complete wanker

40. Props to slaf for pulling buds hair lmao.

41. @hockeyjunkie are you originally from Ireland? I'm trying to figure out your accent.

42. You are not seriously comparing Laine to Matthews😂

43. Horrible. Leafs scrubs trying to make a name for themselves, taking out roster players on the Habs. The preseason needs to change.

44. Whelp, time for Mario Armia to step up in his sophomore season.

45. That angle on his leg getting destroyed is unpleasant to look at

46. I beleaf it looked like a dive.

47. Lmao

48. Sensational channel, dude.

49. I’m fucking dead. SIM to next season

50. im not one for violence but… first game of the season should be a scene out of slap shot!
