playoffs: 2020-21 | NDSR | (N3) Winnipeg Jets vs. (N4) Montreal Canadiens

If and only if Playoff Price continues to be Playoff Price, then I could see MTL having a shot of taking this in 7. Otherwise it ought to be WPG in 5.

Neither of these teams are very good. Not sure what we're doing here. Winnipeg in 6 I guess?

lets go with carey price in 6 but who cares really none of these teams are winning the cup except maybe wpg in an alternate universe

The winner of this series is just going to be cannon fodder for the Avalanche on their run to the Cup anyway.

Had to get in the wrestling related post just for Phil. :cool:

 

 

Scheifele just absolutely leveled Evans while he was in the process of putting in the empty net goal. I'm not sure I hate it tbh.

 

I hope Evans is ok. He looked in rough shape.

 

$5k fine probably but that hit was dirty and I would expect nonsense next game if there’s no suspension

Damn!!!! I’d suspend him until 2024 but porn stache will give him a fine.

Someone explain to me why that was dirty

Same reason Graves’ hit the other night was - you are preying on a guy who is defenseless, late, with the intention of hurting him. Cant look at that play and tell me this was about stopping a goal

U serious, Peter?

Sure you can. An eye blink earlier and he's preventing an empty net goal.

Thats exactly what the porn stach would say

Lol come on man it’s not even a close one you are trolling

Yepp exactly.

 

Stops skating a few seconds before contact, shoulder to chest, doesn’t lift off the ice until after contact, elbow doesn’t come up until after contact.

 

Was it unnecessary? Okay maybe but it wasn’t dirty.

 

The Montreal player went flying so it looks a lot more vicious than it was IMO

Personal attack. If I was a mod I'd lock your account unless you paid a $5k donation fine.

A decade ago that would've been considered a clean hockey hit. But unfortunately not in today's NHL.

 

Aside from that, it was a beauty of a hit though. Keep yer head up kid.

Another look in full speed:

Way too close to call this late. Evans made a pretty quick, nifty move to execute the wrap around unexpectedly quick. Even with that, the only reason he was able to put the puck in the net was because Scheifele stopped skating around the hashmarks and glided the rest of the way.

Let the apologists chime in on what was, whether "dirty" or not, one of he more dangerous plays I've seen. Primary hit to upper chest? I don't know, the forearm was up and it hit the jaw with such impact that it turned his head around like Linda Blair in sickening fashion. He's concussed or worse on a forearm to the jaw with the force of a 200 foot dash behind it. I'm sure the doctors in the hospital will say "oh, primary point of impact was upper chest, no problem!"

I love it.

 

“It’s late in the game”, sure but it’s early in the series.

Perfectly legal hit, IMO.

Ban wrap around empty net attempts then, knowing they might be challenged physically from the front of the net.

 

I don't know what Scheifele is supposed to do there. Let him score for free? It was bang bang and he almost prevented that goal. The reaction is purely because of how vicious the hit looked and the fact the kid got his bell rung pretty good. I hope he's ok.

If Evans had peeked around his shoulder, he would've seen Scheifele coming, picked up the puck and stopped behind the net and maybe waited for someone to pass it to. Instead he blindly skates it around the net, fully focused on scoring the goal and oblivious to everything around him. Wasn't even a late hit. I would say 0.3-0.4s after the puck left his stick.
