Post-Game Talk: Jets drop Game 1

[Evil Little]

Gotta be a game or two for the charge at least. No previous history and suspensions are shorter in the playoffs. Still, you just can't make that hit.

I hope Evans is okay.

Habs fans f*** off.

Don't know how an empty net race is charging, but maybe the threatened surete investigation might finally make Parros pull the trigger on someone other than Kadri.

 

[bustamente]

Hope it's one have a feeling the Canadiens will do some heavy lobbying as they trot out Perry who will call Scheifele a POS and it will be more,

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Pathetic game and scheif deserves a suspension tbh.

 

[Daximus]

He tried to prevent the goal. It all happened in 0.1 seconds.

and yet he didn't come anywhere close to doing so. The puck was in the net well before he even got there....

 

[jefferoni]

Stupid hit by Fefe. Gonna need Stas back in to fill the hole at centre. Anyone know why he was out today? Sorry if it was mentioned in the GDT... I didn't follow it after lunch.

 

[snowkiddin]

He may have hit the chest first, Evans may have been reaching. The big thing is there is no reason to make that hit, and he charged basically 200 ft at full speed.

The charge from across the ice and leaving his feet is the bad part.

You can make the hit to prevent the goal, that’s fine, but he didn’t make the hit for that, he made it because he was frustrated.

 

[surixon]

Definitely a charge and a stupid hit, he's getting atleast a game. I still can't tell on if there was head contact on the initial hit and need to see more angles for that but I just don't like the hit and a real gutless play to destroy a player in that position whether it is a target to the head or not. Easily could have gone for the puck there instead.

Other then that the team was rusty the first half of the game and will really need to buckle down with Mark assuredly missing games.

 

[Polar Vortex]

Hopefully someone spears him when he gets back. Dirty little rodent, just like the Jets fans that think it was clean.

Stfu and get outta here

 

[Toomuts]

Shoulder to chest, clean hit, Keep your head up

use your eye’s and don’t be a sheep

 

[schmockeyknife]

really thought we played off the back foot today. could have been the rest/rust. helle has to stop the first shot of the game ffs.

suzuki's goal was a killer but not as nice as lowsy's goal,

55 will be a target now. hope he's ready for it

when i get glum i just watch jomo skate and it cheers me up.

i hope evans is fine. scheif gotta control his emotions cuz he cant fight

 

[LadyJet26]

Definitely a hit to the head. His helmet almost came off and he was out before he hit the ice.

our season probably just ended.

Not that Schief has done much. But No Stastny, no Demelo. Yeah not optimistic.

 

[moosehead81]

Hope Evans is ok. Can’t see the league letting Scheifle off with nothing but he doesn’t have a history so that may go in his favour. If Evans is really hurt bad (and let’s hope not) it might be more than 1-2 games. May all depend on a finding as to whether the hit had any bearing on preventing the goal. If it followed the goal by a substantial period of time whatever that is, then Scheif maybe in some load of trouble. Jets looked stale after the layoff, they’ll be better next game.

 

[Teemu Nymander]

The charge from across the ice and leaving his feet is the bad part.

You can make the hit to prevent the goal, that’s fine, but he didn’t make the hit for that, he made it because he was frustrated.

Exactly - only conplete idiot makes that

 

[Aggie204]

I think that 5 min major and game misconduct will mitigate a suspension against Chef. #55 will have to answer the bell in game 2.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Stupid play by 55 who was mad at his own performance. Selfish. And after the second half the game I liked our chances still winning this series even after a game 1 loss. But No Demelo, maybe no Stats and now likely no Scheifele for 2-3 games. We are done

I was going to post the same thing. I fully expect Jets to lose game 2 due to too many missing guys.

 

[WolfHouse]

Scheif finally throws a check instead of waving his stick and can’t even do that right

he is the problem.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Anyone have post game on any of the SN channels?
I have either the 2nd game or Jays

Sportsnet 360

 

[Tommigun]

To be a charge he either had to stride into the hit or leave his feet. I didn't see either

A hit can be both savage and clean

He power skated like the entire length of the rink into the hit. That’s the worst charging I’ve ever seen.

"Charging is the action where a player takes more than two strides or travels an excessive distance to accelerate through a body check for the purpose of punishing the opponent."

 

[SensibleGuy]

Looked to me as it happened like Evans knew the puck was in and was getting ready for his celly when he got levelled. I don't know...as it happened my immediate thought was holy shit why did you do that Chef?

 

[LadyJet26]

Hope Evans is ok. Can’t see the league letting Scheifle off with nothing but he doesn’t have a history so that may go in his favour.

That puck was already in the net when Schief hit him. 100% charging and 100% late. Wtf was he thinking?

 

[Derfel]

Would like to see the reverse angle on that hit, to be sure.

 

[robertocarlos]

Ehlers is a hero. Nice pass to KFC for that goal too.

 

[Neuf]

I can't help but feel that thanking health care workers shouldn't involve sending more people to the hospital. Geez I hope Evans is ok

 

[Eyeseeing]

It'll be one.

It will be 5

 

[cbcwpg]

The NHL will look at the super slo-mo. If the initial point of contact was chest or shoulder, then Chef will be in the clear. It looked like the player got hurt more from the way they landed on the ice than the hit.

But, the NHL might look at the fact he got 5 minutes.
