For those who may have forgotten, let’s remember that Michael Pezzetta has left the Montreal Canadiens and is now with the Toronto Maple Leafs.Despite that, following the wedding of Nick Suzuki and Caitlin Suzuki, Pezzetta continues to spend time with his former Montreal teammates – and it’s a beautiful thing to see.

Arber Xhekaj Already Sends a Friendly Warning to Michael Pezzetta

We all know both of them can throw down when needed..

But they’re still very good friends off the ice.

That said, the stage is already set for the next showdown between Xhekaj’s Canadiens and Pezzetta’s Maple Leafs.

David Amber: “Do you have a number one rival in the NHL?”

– Arber Xhekaj, looking at Michael Pezzetta: “I might have a new one for next year.”

It made us laugh! We love it!

They’re joking around, but at the same time, it’s clear things could still get physical (between Pezzetta and Xhekaj) during that upcoming Montreal-Toronto matchup.

Both guys will want to prove themselves, and honestly, it wouldn’t be surprising if they drop the gloves and go at it.

It’s shaping up to be a must-watch this fall!
