Montreal Canadiens: Arber Xhekaj sends a serious message to the organization and the fans
Arber Xhekaj has been regularly left out of the game lately, but he still came back to his place against the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
It is clear that despite his shortcomings at the start of the season, the organization absolutely wants to give him a chance. Martin St-Louis has shown signs of impatience with him, but he remains confident in what he can become as a player.
Arber really has the CH tattooed on his heart, and he loves the fans as well. His brother also has the same great values, and the two were scheduled for an event and to sign autographs on Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
However, the Canadiens plane had problems and could not take off on Saturday night as planned. The players had to sleep in Pittsburgh on Saturday night and the autograph session was in jeopardy for Xhekaj.
The plane finally took off on Sunday morning, and landed around 12:30 p.m., 1:30 before the event. That really didn't leave much time for him to keep his commitments.
Well Arber found solutions instead of making excuses, and he showed up on time to the event. He's sending a very clear message that he will never settle for making excuses.
He would have had every reason in the world not to show up or to be late, but he showed up on time, even though it wasn't an easy task. It's clear that this was important to him and that he won't fail to keep his commitments.
When you say a player is a real one, you mean it!
