Jet, Jet, Jet
I can almost remember
The funny faces
That time you told me
That you were going to be marrying soon
And jet, I thought
The only lonely place was on the moon
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh
Jet, was your father as bold
As a Sergeant Major?
Oh, how come he told you
That you hardly old enough yet?
And Jet, I thought the Major
Was a Lady Suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, much later
Jet
Jet, I thought the Major
Was a little Lady Suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh

The Jets can easily beat the Habs at their own game with stellar goaltending. Jets also have the edge in top flight offensive talent, and the Habs have the edge in overall team defence. It's gonna come down to goaltending.

I'll take the Habs in 6, but if they're already spent, Jets in 5.

Scheifele played for the local OHL team - popular kid.

That was a fucking vicious hit and if Kadri got 8, I have no idea what Scheifele will get - but I hope Evans is back before him.

EDIT: Thanks E.L. for the lyrics! I had forgotten how much I liked that song.

Shellfish might not want to come back. I think Webber is going to kill him.

I am so mad right now. Dude charged 200 feet to nail the kid! Parros do the right thing for once in your miserable existence.

On the other hand on a Scott Steven's 1-10 scale that's only a 6. Not saying I like the hit, only that things have sure change to the better over the last 3 decades

I'm all for hardnosed playoff hockey, but that was ridiculous. You can see Scheifele turns his stick to the side as he begins to coast. He had already known he wasn't going to get the puck/stop the goal, so the frustration sets in and he figures he'll just bury the guy. Which he does. I've said it a bunch on here, but the purpose of a hit is to separate the opponent from the puck; not from the planet, not consciousness, not his head from is body. That has to be a few games. I have no idea if Scheifele has a history or not, but that's got to be a suspension. And given what happened with Wilson, Bettman and co had better be on the phone to Parros long before he makes a decision.

If Evans was carrying the puck and could brace himself for the hit, so be it. But he scored in an empty net. The play, and the game, are over. Hitting a guy then is just gratuitous and dangerous.

This is it. The speed and the distance. Jesus.

That Suzuki goal was beautiful.

Really looks like if he focused on stopping the wrap around and reached with his stick for the post instead if going for that hit he had a decent chance of stopping the goal.

It's really a shame because Mark Scheifele has never struck me as a dirty of unhinged player. What's more, stills show that Scheifele had a remote chance of preventing the goal with a stick check had he been paying attention to anything other than running Evans over. Just...stupid all around.

So from a hockey standpoint, the Jets are royally fucked. Stastny remains out, and not Scheifele's gonna sit, that leaves a center corps of Dubois and...who? Also, Dylan DeMelo went down early, so now a team that was lousy defensively to begin with is now missing key pieces that contribute at both ends of the ice. Yeah...doesn't look good.

Ditto. And then I can't explain Byron's 3 games...

https://www.nhl.com/video/byron-suspend ... c-64982503

I don't think Scott Stevens would have a problem in today's league as nothing has really changed except for "don't make it a direct head shot". The excuses are the same, and what I can't stand is the legalistic tone of how they decide suspensions... e.g. previous history. There's nothing legal about it except that stars (like Stevens would be) and "good guys" get off with a lot, c.f. Chara.

I was listened to Leafs Lunch on the Fan590 today (why oh why...), and the same guys who claimed that Perry may have purposely hit Tavares, Foligno followed code, KK was a bust, were now blaming Evans for not protecting himself for an "old time hockey play". That wasn't acceptable back then either.

EDIT: the plus side of the NHL's lunacy would be that Scheifele might be back in time to get pummeled by Weber.... and that would make the Subban trade worth it.

Glad he got 4, at least.

The one that this hit reminded me of was Downie on Dean McAmmond, albeit without the massive launch/jump into the hit that Downie did and less late than Downie's.

The hit may end up costing Peg the series, because he's their best player. They'll have Stastny back for Game 2, and he's a Hab killer. (Must be that Nordique lineage)
