We were treated to an entertaining moment last night between the Montreal Canadiens and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Beyond the fight itself, I absolutely loved seeing the immense mutual respect between the two players.
That’s actually the part people are talking about the most today-especially on BPM Sports-regarding that sequence involving Xhekaj and Deslauriers.
Nicolas Deslauriers made a subtle gesture after his fight with Arber Xhekaj, and it shows just how much respect he has for the young Montreal Canadiens defenseman
Yes, there was a lot of mutual respect between the two players:
“The Philadelphia Flyers were trailing 4-3 in the third period and needed a spark. Out of respect for his viral moment, Xhekaj accepted “D-Lo’s” invitation to dance.”
– TVA Sports
They even had a conversation afterward, right from the penalty boxes.
“I’d love to hear the conversation that Habs Arber Xhekaj and Flyers’ Nicolas Deslauriers are having in penalty box. I believe there’s a mutual respect there.”
– Stu Cowan
It’s always great to see that kind of sportsmanship from true professionals.
