Arber Xhekaj's brother Florian pummels Leafs prospect Chas Sharpe (video)
Arber Xhekaj has a brother named Florian who is currently trying to make a name for himself within the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Just like his big brother, Florian knows how to fight exceptionally well. He showed that today in the prospects game between the Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Just under two minutes into the game, Florian found himself trading blows with Leafs prospect Chas Sharpe.
Unfortunately for Sharpe, this did not go particularly well for him. Florian handily won the fight as he absolutely pummeled his opponent.
It remains to be seen whether or not this toughness will be enough for Xhekaj to make it into the league like his bigger brother. However, he is certainly making an impact and ingratiating himself with the Habs fanbase. Now, he will have to showcase some offensive talents to really take himself to the next level.
