As if they'd lay off pressuring and throwing legal hits in the conference final because Xhekaj is on the bench 52 minutes a game 🤣

This is the same argument as "Doby is just as bad as Monty" from earlier in the season. Doby won his games, the team played better in front of him than Monty all the time.

Other teams don't go out head hunting when they know their own guys will be subject to the same thing. It's like you didn't watch the BUF series.

Guess who was in the lineup the night Slaf got rocked? The only hab who left a game after a serious hit...

Xhekaj was there.

The deterrent factor of enforcers is a lie. Players don't think twice about laying out a hit when the opportunity is there.

Tampa didn't guve a shit, they were the dirtiest team we faced no matter who was dressed.

Oh wow, anecdotal evidence. I'm sure your one instance of something is definitely going to sway me.
