Too much

And again if Matthews had been on the recieving end of that hit all you Leaf fans would be screaming bloody murder.

Its because its a 4th line C that few people seem to care.

how many games do you think Evans is going to miss? less than 4?

Y'all are out of your minds. It was a predatory, unnecessary hit that served no other purpose than intent to injure. I am surprised the NHL actually had the balls to suspend a player of Scheifele's caliber though. Honestly, I still don't think 4 games is enough.

It's playoff games though. 4 is quite severe for a first offender in the playoffs.

Petry blind side hit Galchenyuk in the head in OT in game 6 and didn’t even get fined. I feel like they were punishing the injury more than the hit itself. It wasn’t a head shot and if he just destroyed him but Evans landed on his back and popped right back up I think the conversation would be different. If Galchenyuk laid on the ice and was stretchered off does that mean Petry’s hit was now more suspendable? Suspensions have been a joke all year though and I have no idea what to expect anymore.

Tbh...the NHL is a joke as a whole. From suspensions, to officiating to the marketing of the game and it’s superstars...it’s amateur hour compared to every other major professional sport.

Funny cuz if u follow basketball at all they say the same thing about their own officiating lol

But yeah, marketing isn't great. But does it make sense to market hockey to inner city poor kids anyway? They can't afford to play the game.

The NHL doesn’t market their game to anyone lol.

Basketball officiating at least is always the same. Star players get calls.

no penalty, 0 game suspension?

the difference? St. Louis player wasn't carried off on a stretcher.

should it matter? NO

Does Kucherov get a suspension for his hit last night?

[Shoalzie]

I think I fall along the lines of I understand why it warranted a suspension but I think 4 (playoff) games is very steep. The Jets season is in the balance over this decision...I'll be fascinated to see how they respond tonight.

Completely disagree, I love hitting but that isn't a play that has a place in hockey, super predatory and completely unnecessary

This.
Made zero attempt on the puck.

Hard to make an attempt on the puck when it's in the net. Only thing left to do was hit the player.

So if it's in the net no need for the hit right....

Exactly. Dirty play.

And no if he extended his stick and actually tried for the puck he could have before the puck was in the net. He decided he was gonna lay him the fuck out period.
