Arber Xhekaj may have only a year of play in the league, but he's already recognized as one of the tough guys. Knocking out Zack Kassian isn't an easy feat, and he made it look like child's play.

As much as Michael Pezzetta has a heart as big as the world, he doesn't have the physique for the job. Despite that, he will never refuse to drop the gloves; in fact, he even took private lessons with Georges Laraque this summer. Georges later mentioned that he did it for free, which is truly commendable.

A special sequence took place at the end of training today, as Xhekaj and Pezzetta came to blows. Don't panic; they were working on their techniques together.

It's promising for the season to see them like this. I'm not particularly for fights, although I think they are sometimes necessary to avoid overflows. With the number and quality of enforcers in the Atlantic division this season, the Canadiens will be well represented with these two.
