By JD Lagrange – How you get Jackeye out of Xhekaj is one of the NHL’s biggest mysteries. What is not a mystery around the NHL anymore is the impact the big man is having. As most players and fans are learning to pronounce his name, everyone is taking notice of the Canadiens’ defenseman straight from his rookie season. We like the nickname AX-Man but WiFi seems to have gained traction, as his name is remindful of a WiFi password. But the only thing scrambled with be the brain of the player daring to drop the gloves against this freak of nature.

NOTE: This article will be an Evergreen, where I will add new videos, tweets and highlights about the former Costco employee now turned one of the most popular players on the Canadiens.
