Round 2: Winnipeg Jets vs. Montreal Canadiens

[L K]

It's a bad hit, no question, but if someone like Wilson, with a track record of dangerous hits, doesn't get suspended for a similarly forceful hit, how does the league justify suspending someone like Scheifele, who has no record of supplemental discipline?

Because a Violent Gentleman does what a Violent Gentleman does.

Ahh, yes. The "This Is Who He Is" clause. I keep forgetting about that.

Phone hearing for Scheifele today so 4 max it seems.

As upsetting as the Mark Scheifele hit was, I can’t stop thinking about the way Nikolaj Ehlers rushed over and protected Jake Evans from the scrum.

That’s how you respect the game.

Looks like the Habs are kings of the north.  Think Scheifele had just had enough?  I mean the NHL has to realize that when you let a team get away with stuff over and over again, tempers are going to flare.

They showed some of the stuff they were doing to him during the game and I think Scheifele had enough. Doesn't make it right or anything but I can see why he lost his cool. I will never understand why the cheap stuff penalties aren't called in the playoffs. Why is the glove to the face, out a guy in a headlock allowed? From what I've seen so far the interferenc, cross checking it's far worse in the North Division. Anyway if Scheifeile is out for say 5 games, the Jets are in big trouble. Oh well, it's a series no one really cares about anyway.

Playoff hockey. It's what the people want, apparently.

Not me. I love the intensity, love the hitting and all that. Hate the scrums, gloves to the face and that the rules aren't called anymore. It penalizes skilled teams. The amount of hooking and interference that the habs got away with is beyond ridiculous. Oh well, battle through it they say.

Ya, me either. I prefer goals and fun to violence and worry, but to each their own.

Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele has been suspended for four games for Charging Montreal’s Jake Evans. https://t.co/MhMHK55lmC

Gotta say, I thought the hit was bad but 4 playoff games (the equivalent of 8 regular season games) is pretty harsh for a first-time offender (particularly a star player). I guess it's nice to see Parros has it in him sometimes.

Again, I'm left frustrated with DOPS though.  Ryan Reeves acts like a moron with suspension history and gets 2 games.  Kadri gets 8 games.  This gets 4 games.  Wilson gets fined.  Absolutely no consistency and the people who are repeat offenders generally get off with lesser punishments.
