Go Habs Go!

[gaby]

Au sujet de Scheifele il n'a eu qu'un entretien téléphonique et non une rencontre avec la lique...ce qui laisse présumer une suspension légère genre 3 matchs......MAIS ne reviendra peut-être pas si les HABS se vengent et
les liquident en 4.....lolll......sinon ca va brasser à son retour....

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Scheifele qui sera probablement suspendu, la guerre est bien entamée.

Pas sûr, ça s'enligne plus pour une amende et une tape sur les doigts.

It was a dirty hit with intent to injure regardless of the outcome or his previous record, he will get between 2 to 5 games being the maximum, the good news is that Evans is not in the hospital so it ends up as a Scheifele who is their best player for Evans who will be out for a while trade, I will make that trade all day long.


Bring on the Avalanche!!!(Habs next opponent)

EVANS....diagnostic est une commotion cérébrale----rien de surprenant---et absence indéterminée......TATAR ou LEHKONEN va le remplacer.

 

[EagerBeaver]

Yes, Evans has a concussion and is out indefinitely, so this is no longer a "no harm no foul" situation:

I now believe it will be a 2-7 game suspension for Scheifele. As Joe T said, you have to take that trade. Evans took one for the team.

 

[gaby]

Oups.....Scheifele will have NHL Player Safety hearing tomorrow.....so at least it looks it could b a serious sanction.....qui serait bien bien méritée....

Here is video of the hit:

So if you are Scheifele, how do you argue this one? I think there are only 3 things he can argue:
1. Checking Evans viciously was the only way to dislodge the puck and stop the empty net goal, even though he got to Evans a split second too late and did not stop the empty net goal
2. No prior disciplinary record
3. If he had stopped Evans from scoring, it would be viewed as a heroic, goal saving check, and Jets are still in the game and might win it.

One thing you learn doing the work that I do, which is sometimes defending the indefensible, is that you NEVER raise a white flag, even when you know you are going down. The above would be my advice to Scheifele as his counsel in the hearing, although I do not believe he will get one.

He will likely be suspended 2-7 games.

 

[sharkman]

The NHL are a bunch of wusses! They will likely give that punk Scheifele a 2-3 game suspension even though he should get 8-10 games.
My concern is that the Habs don't have a "hit man" that can take down/terminate Scheifele or any other player for that matter!

 

[EagerBeaver]

As predicted. Also as predicted is Scheifele made the argument that he heroically attempted to stop a goal from being scored and had an obligation to his team to do so:

Winnipeg Jets' Mark Scheifele gets 4-game suspension for hit on Montreal Canadiens' Jake Evans

The NHL gave Winnipeg's Mark Scheifele a four-game suspension Thursday night, calling his Game 1 charge into Montreal's Jake Evans a "high, predatory hit."

www.espn.com

"Scheifele argued in his hearing that his speed on the hit was an effort to make a defensive play and prevent a goal."

 

[sharkman]

....."Scheifele argued in his hearing that his speed on the hit was an effort to make a defensive play and prevent a goal."

LoL!!! Yeah sure!
Scheifele had no intention to make a defensive play because he knew he was late on the play...he could have put on the brakes or have made a sharp turn...but he chose not to do so for the simple pre-meditated reason that he wanted to paste Evans and make him pay for scoring!
There's no difference between that and premeditated attempted murder!

..."Scheifele argued in his hearing that his speed on the hit was an effort to make a defensive play and prevent a goal."

...reinforcement coming for the Habs:

 

[gaby]

J'ai un bon feeling que ce soir les boys vont se défoncer pour venger EVANS et faire payer la note aux JETS...j'ai hâte ...enjoy.

 

[Joe.t]

If you watch the reply, he made no attempt to play the puck, if he did he might have prevented Evans from scoring, instead he was hell bent on hitting Evans as hard as possible, Guilty as charged and a real bonehead move by him as he is their best player and now he has handicapped his team big time.

 

[gaby]

.oui...les JETS se retrouvent lourdement handicapés avec en plus l'absence de STASTNY et du défenseur DeMelo.....aux HABS d'en profiter et de leur passer le KO.....faut rester discipliner et les faire suer....

 

[TheBlob]

Grosse game ce soir, encore une fois! La meilleure façon de venger Evans serait d’en mettre quelques-unes dedans en début de match.

Une victoire pour débuter le weekend, ce serait génial! Go Habs!

 

[gaby]

...et une autre Dimanche pour le terminer en beauté .....lollll

"Shocked" Scheifele Says Decision is "Excessive", claims family has been "bullied" online:

Winnipeg Jets' Mark Scheifele calls four-game suspension 'excessive'

Jets center Mark Scheifele disagrees that his Game 1 hit of Canadiens forward Jake Evans was "predatory," as the NHL described it when the league suspended him for four games.

www.espn.com

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Il a traversé les 3 zones à pleine vitesse pour asséner une mise en échec vicieuse dans une cause perdue, de plus, techniquement, son assaut est survenu après le but et il trouve que c'est excessif!!!

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Je donne pas cher de la peau des Jets, cet incident a tout les éléments pour devenir le point tournant de cette série.

On garde ça simple à soir et on l’a gagne pour notre chum Jake. JUST WIN BABY! GO HABS GO!
