A furious Arber Xhekaj threw down the gloves against Ryan Reaves last night in Toronto. The Maple Leafs' strongman gave Kaiden Guhle a dubious check, which really didn't please the Habs' Sheriff.

Not only did Xhekaj literally jump on him, Reaves couldn't even defend himself. He was dominated. What's more, as a player, the Habs' defenseman is a much better hockey player.

In short, even Leafs journalists, who aren't usually very complimentary about the Habs, are jealous of this finding.

"Arber Xhekaj who doesn't hesitate for a second to throw down the gloves against Ryan Reaves. He'll be a problem for us (Toronto) for a long time, that one (referring to Xhekaj)."

- Steve Dangle

The result of this brawl is obvious. The CH scored two goals as a result and Reaves kept quiet for the rest of the game.

Even though the Habs lost in a shootout, it's a small victory for number 72, whose value continues to rise. For journalist Anthony Martineau, it's simply priceless.
