This goal is very special for the 23-year-old defenseman, not only because it should give him a bit of confidence in his abilities, but also for another quite unique reason.

Friends,
I have to share this.
Today before the game Jack, Arber's dad talked to him as we always do. He told him .. «Today is Independence Day of Kosovo. Score one for me, make the Eagle 🦅 proud.
Happy Independence Day Kosovo 🇽🇰. 🔥🔥🔥

The Sheriff chose the perfect moment to find the back of the net, and he did it with style, as he recorded the most powerful shot of the season for the Canadiens, with a strike at 102.2 mph. Wow!
