"Rule 42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice." The infraction may warrant any severity of penalty or combination of penalties as the officials deem fit, including a major plus a game misconduct, or suspension if the infraction results in injury to the opposing player."
Everyone saying this is anything but a suspension is blatantly wrong. It's textbook charging, no matter how much you want to say "modern day people are pansies!!!" or "outrage culture is ruining the world" or "real men would have gotten up from that hit!".

And yet how many times have we seen this scenario play out? How many more times has there been an opportunity for it to happen and it didn’t?
Maybe there is a reason behind that..

Seems to be the right amount of games for what transpired IF the precedent was set and enforced thus far. But of course WPG is a small market team so the NHL finds it easy to throw the book at them while previous recent suspensions seem rather light. A first time offender gets ripped a new one (rightfully so) in comparison to repeat offenders but alas, the wheel of justice keeps on turning...

I am okay with this decision. AS LONG AS the NHL uses this as a standard going forward (for big market teams - not just for small market teams like the Jets)

My new favorite conspiracy theory is that because George Parros played for the Habs he made this decision to help them win the Series.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here like 'George Parros played for the Habs? Huh. I completely missed that'

Can't argue with the reasoning. Violent predatory hit when the outcome of both the play and the game had been decided. He had a lot of time to think about lightening up on the force of the hit, and he didn't. Earned each game.

I thought it would be 3 games but I'll take 4. Shiefele was frustrated the whole game and he was looking for targets. He 100% had the intention of hitting Evans with no hesitation in a vulnerable position. The hit was dirty and not worthy. He will pay for it now.
some of his teammates must be pissed at him for being so selfish

It bothers me that Scheifele got 4 games for this and Bennett only got 1 for his hit on Coleman.
lots of similarities. Bennett was charging, clearly only had intent to hit, checked from behind, it was violent...
i guess injury is pretty much the main factor. It’s sad actually. If Evans gets up from this hit right away, I bet it’s just a game, maybe 2.
That’s what pisses me off about DOPS’ decisions.

Born. Raised. Habs. Always.
I'm okay with the decision, but leaving the door open for Scheifele to play again this series if it goes to 6+ games allows for the ugliness that could happen at that time.
I really wish the decision was actually "for the remainder of the series with Montreal." Can the DOPS hand down a ruling of this sort?

There is no standard. They just made this one up. Could have been 9 or zero. No one knows.

I've heard some say he lied during his Hearing, so possible it may have been 3 for the hit itself and 1 for lying.
Every time a hit like this happens, we see the ugly side of humanity in these threads. Some of the takes are absolutely embarrassing.
Hopefully Evans is alright. The hit is indefensible by any reasonable, logical human who can see.

pretty sure Parros would rather forget his experience with the Habs. legit cracked his head on the ice in the season opener in a fight against Colton Orr
Parros just spins the wheel; it's like The Price is Right but without the fabulous prizes and Barker's Beauties...
