55 has been in the league a number of years now has zero history with dirty hits.

Can't say that anymore.

He saw he was going to be late several strides away.

The Leafs man...I guess no matter what else happens you can always be grateful you are not a Leafs fan.

One could be a Canucks fan.

They have had a few nice runs in living memory. The Leafs haven't even played for the Stanley Cup since...um...*checks* 1967? Holy shit.

1993, I think, or 94 was pretty close. Lost to the Kings in semi final overtime on a controversial Gretzky goal. Otherwise would have made the final against Montreal. And we would have won. I lived downtown at the time, and the parade would have been right outside my window. :mad:

Things always look way worse when you go frame-by-frame, Zapruder-style.

Play the clip at game speed and Scheifele's hit is a fraction of a second late.  He's going to get suspended for it, but there's no malice there, and definitely no intent to injure.

It's fine. The Parros DPS doesn't have the clout to hand 10+ games.

No it's not fine.  Scheif is a goddamn choir boy whose never been subject to supplemental discipline in his entire career.

Is prior history something that typically gets considered with NHL discipline?

... sometimes.

I think the NHL is having a "tough-on-crime" moment. The league has faced a lot of criticism this year on its inconsistent officiating, more than normal, and wants to save face. Scheifele is the perfect stooge.

You're an idiot, seriously. Evans will probably have lifelong consequences from that hit and you're big mad because your church buddy got caught being a fucking asshole.

Yes. But he forgot to make an hockey play.

Yeah, I watched the video - not the frame by frame one, but the real-time play one - and it looks like a deliberate hit with great follow-through that has no relation whatsoever to what the puck is doing. Doesn't seem excuseable to me.

Beeb defending it and whining about the suspension is rapidly evaporating any of the goodwill I've felt towards his support of the Jets. Fuck that.
