Last season, in October Darren Pang called Arber Xhekaj, something very questionable.
The Montreal Canadiens inked RFA defenseman
Arber Xhekaj to a 2 year, $2.6 Million AAV deal this week.
On October 14th, 2023 the Blackhawks would lose to the Canadiens 3-2, in the Bell Centre in Montreal. Blackhawks TV Analyst Darren Pang accidentally called Xhekaj, "Jerk-off" and let off a few giggles afterward. However, it should be more like "Ja-Kai", which is the proper pronunciation for the towering blueliner from Hamilton, Ontario.
Darren Pang and Vosters would cut to break, but not before bursting in giggles.
It was a goofy moment, and the Blackhawks finished dismally with a 23-53-6 season, this could've been a highlight.
Xhekaj himself, recorded a whopping 81 PIMS, a team record in 2023-2024, and scoring 10 points( 3 G, 7 A) in 44 games. The 6'4" 240 lb ranked second in on ice ratings with a +6, and fourth in hits with 125.
His career totals as a Canadiens are 23 points(8 G, 15 A), and 182 PIMs in 95 games since signing with the Canadiens as a free agent.
