Around dinner time, my colleague Marc-Olivier Cook submitted a post recalling the importance of bringing back Arber Xhekaj in order to give Justin Barron a little rest, who has been struggling lately.
Ce call comes following Stefan Noesen’s hard-hitting check on Juraj Slafkovsky, when no teammate came to his defense. The only player who tried to braze a bit as soon as the check was completed was Cole Caufield. Is it normal for the smallest player to take care of this? NO!!!
Elliotte Friedman on the Noesen hit on Slafkovsky: “Were you concerned at all about the lack of response (from other Canadiens players on the ice)? It kind of concerned me a bit.” Did credit Caufield for getting involved a bit.

With the Sheriff in uniform, things would have happened differently, believe me!
OK! In the absence of number 72, there is only one other player who can come and place his nose in the gambling and it’s Michael Pezzetta. The Pezz is far from having the strength of the Sheriff, but he is capable of taking and giving some. He is capable of disturbing and playing hockey at the limit of legality.
Bob Hartley spoke on this subject via BPM Sports and his message was very strong.
Good old Bob really doesn’t understand why Pezzetta wasn’t on the ice following the hit on Slavs. As he keenly pointed out, the only guy in the line-up that can dropper mittens and stirring is Pezz.
Hartley even suggested that Pezzetta stop trying to play hockey and do what he does best, which is to shake up and disturb opponents. This is how he carved out a position in the NHL, he just has to return to his original identity.
Then when Pezz returned to the ice a few minutes later, why didn’t he stir the soup a bit? You know, to send a message for the next match… No. Nothing. Nada.
Observation: let’s call the Sheriff back in all its glory!

– A great story about Bryce Harper.

Bryce Harper’s passion has no equal
If I remain completely transparent, the departure of Bryce Harper from mine (the Nats), in February 2019, was as painful as a toothache that spreads throughout the jaw.
His departure had been in the making for quite a while… pic.twitter.com/Kcz63D4tCn
