  1. Xhekaj was playing real dirty tonight. He cup checked Bunting and stuck his knee out on Acciari. Xhekaj knew he can do whatever he wants against the Pens because the Pens have literally zero tough guys.

  2. jackass is not helping himself towards the refs community…22 and already building himself a solid reputation what are the habs doing he should be better surrounded he is not without talent…
