Senators' Head Coach D.J. Smith Calls Out Habs for Targeting His Players
D.J. Smith was visibly upset after Ottawa's preseason victory over Montreal last night. Normally, it is good vibes after a win, but Smith was not happy, and he called out the Montreal Canadiens for targeting his key players.
If you recall, Arber Xhekaj took a small shot at the Sens' former third-overall pick, Tim Stützle, that made the rounds. Shortly after, Austin Watson laid out Habs' forward Kirby Dach, leading to a fight between Watson and Xhekaj.
Smith promised to have his guys ready next time, what ever that means. The two sides square off again tomorrow, October 8, and will likely feature some fireworks. During the 2022-23 season, they will face off four times, three of which are in the latter half of the season AKA crunch time.
These two teams do not like one another, and it shows, and their matches in the upcoming season will be must-watch.
