The Canadian is recovering from his eventful Tuesday evening at the Bell Center and we ask the question: did Arber Xhekaj go too far? His teammates believe no, but our experts believe yes. Meanwhile, the Canadian heads to Tremblant to conclude his training camp, with Patrik Laine as a spectator. What does his loss represent in the short term and should the CH attempt a big transaction to replace him? We also discuss the file of a possible expansion of executives in the NHL and the Jeremy Swayman file, which drags on in Boston.
Probably with a better team, I think [Arber] Xhekaj would not start the season in the National Hockey League.

Juraj Slafkovsky, Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki and Mike Matheson played almost 15 minutes together on the power play in preseason games and generated seven shots.

The Jacobs family [propriétaire des Bruins de Boston] swears by Cam Neely, so he can say whatever nonsense he wants, whenever he wants, and there’s no problem.
