Clearly the best response to Cedric Paré’s gesture towards Patrik Laine in the pre-game.
It should also be noted that Arber Xhekaj arrived at the match wearing a legendary suit. It featured the words F*ck you. Top & Notch Custom made the jacket for the Habs defenseman.
See this post on Instagram
Top & Notch Custom is a company that specializes in custom-tailored suits.
We know that Arber Xhekaj has done business with them in the past. In fact, the first three posts on the company’s Instagram account feature the athlete.
Clearly, the Montreal, Toronto and New Jersey-based company wanted to throw an arrow at Cédric Paré. Why do I know this? Because Top & Notch mentioned Patrik Laine and the Habs in its post and wrote that Sheriff always has his teammates’ back.
In the end, the 72 didn’t have to defend Laine too much, since Paré wasn’t in the lineup (lucky for him) and Ryan Reaves was too chicken to throw down the gloves against Xhekaj.
In fact, Reaves, who did absolutely nothing last night, has been left out of the line-up for his club’s game tonight.
It’s worth noting that, without necessarily associating themselves with the remarks, the Habs posted a photo of Xhekaj in his jacket yesterday before the game.

In any case, Connor McGregor wasn’t shy about wearing that (popular) jacket a few years ago either…
