For those who have been asking, an #NHL source told me there's no hearing scheduled for Calvin de Haan for hit on #NHLJets C Mark Scheifele

This how I'm going look at this. We played great when Maurice came aboard and without Kane. Now we just have to do the same thing without Scheifele.

I agree.

Injuries happen.

We suck it up and move forward.

Easier to replace a winger then a center, but let's hope this holds true.

Last night on the pre-game show Sheifele was asked about playing in every game so far this season & he talked about how he takes pride in that & how he takes care of himself & whatnot. If that wasn't a ******* jinx, I don't know what is. I blame the media & their stupid questions.

This reallly sucks.
I'd keep Frolik on the wing.
Move Joker up a line, and put O'Dell on the third line.

Ugh, i really enjoyed watching him this season. Not surprised at the length he's out, it looked nasty. Had me wincing in sympathy pain.

 

[SensibleGuy]

well I'm afraid our playoff hopes just went up in smoke. I think Chef is a bigger loss than Kane...and this is a worse time to lose him. I just don't think the team has what it takes to get to another level - or more accurately I don't think the guys who have something more to give are capable of doing so. I think wheels, little, ladd, even joker are pretty much already maxing out and guys like seto and buff and enstrom don't strike me as "dig a little deeper" types. kane's too much of a one man show.

of course there is always the possibility of some miraculous run, but I won't get real invested in something like that happening. I'm pretty much just watching to see what changes are made in the off season - hopefully locking PoMo up for a few years - and so forth and looking forward to next year.

when he took time getting up i just knew

 

[Sweech]

Hopefully this provides them an opportunity to see what O'Dell can do when given a more offensive role.

Jacob Trouba says Mark Scheifele is in good spirits and that his injury could've been worse. #NHLJets

What a dirty *****ing play by a classless player.

Shanahan better give this Islander a vacation.

video.

No surgery required for Scheifele, which is the good news, says Maurice. Chris Thorburn (upper-body) is day-to-day, not serious #NHLJets

disagree. it was a penalty, nothing more. sucks for us, but we're not the only team to ever lose a good player in a playoff stretch.

Leads with the knee, could have totally avoided hitting Chef that way. Borderline dirty hit.

It was a dirty hit also called a cheap shot! Watching the video of the cheap shot a few more times and you can see that de Haan knew exactly what he was doing: intent to injure!

Hit like that on Crosby, Ovy etc. and had the same injury happened to them de Haan is suspended immediately 5-10 games!

 

[SensibleGuy]

watching that gif it sure looks to me like he really sticks his leg out there to make contact with Chef. I didn't think it was a dirty play when it happened, but it looks pretty bad in the gif there...

I think it was a matter of deHaan shifting to try to connect with Scheif, as Scheifele went to dodge the check. It might have been reckless, but I don't think it was intentional - he doesn't really have a record of these types of hits.

 

[Guardian17]

At least its just a sprain and no surgery will be required!

I agree. If this happened to a star player the discipline would be different. Nothing new there...

 

[SensibleGuy]

oh no I don't think he intended to injure. I just think he did a stupid thing by sticking his leg out when Chef moved to avoid him...just a bad play.

Have audio up of the coach talking about Scheifele's injury and time line (or lack thereof.

Added audio from Wheeler, Stuart and Trouba discussing the injury.

To listen click here.

 

[ihadtochangethename]

lack thereof a timeline, so basically, see you in september...

 

[YWGinYYZ]

lack there of a timeline, so bascically, see you in september...

These type of injuries typically take 6-8 weeks to recover from. They're pretty well understood, so that might be why there's a lack of timeline. I think that Maurice mentioned they'd re-evaluate in a week, but I doubt the prognosis changes.

 

[ediger]

So my seats happen to be located in front of the opposing team's family and friends seats. Last night, as you would assume, Hamonic's family and friends were there. Worst group I've ever sat in front of. They cheered when Scheifele went down, talking about how it's two minutes well worth it if it takes him out for the rest of the year. I was ready to crack skulls. Luckily, a few of them got tossed out by security after standing through the play and telling the people behind them to **** off.

Now the Jets are saying Schief will be out several weeks and that they DIDN'T say 6-8 weeks.
