Mark Scheifele's vicious attack last night against Jake Evans is dominating the hockey world this morning....We have seen the NHL hand down some extremely random suspensions as of late and that has also eroded the fans trust/confidence that this will be handled properly.
Scheifele SHOULD get at least the rest of this series, but my feeling is 2-3 games is more likely. The NHL has shown a lot of forgiveness towards their star players, but if what happened last night isn't correctly punished the players could start to feel it is worth it to try and take out their opponent's top players.. Jake Evans is a really important player for the Habs, and how long he will miss, with what at the least is a concussion, is still unknown.
Watch the hit below, and tell me what you would do if you were the NHL?
