Clean hit.
What isn’t clean is the Jets goon cheap shotting the rookie after the whistle.
Only thing wrong is he jumped before making contact
How is this late?? Lmao. Players hit WAYY longer after this hit every single game. Scheifele was hurt when he got laid out when HE RAN INTO Faksa and Faksa stood his ground. All these fans calling for a suspension are brain dead. I thought Canada understood hockey?
The jets have been double and triple teamed the blues all series on neighbors and snuggerrud. Ripping helmets off, scrums.
Yes. Next Question
The Blues fans are upset because they’re facing elimination to a team that’s just on a higher level.
Gnite St. Louis!
Why don't you talk about cheap shots in games 3 and 4. You can't take something and cry about it when you had dirty hits in 3 and 4.
Yes
Refs are blowing it ….
55 made a dirty play 4 years ago and I’ll never forgive him for that. Clean hit lol
Left his feet definitely not clean
Its the white out? Obviously its a tough building to play in, but the blues looked horrible. They played way better in games 1 and 2. No its Tucker being out and Suter being back in. The blues defense looked horrendous again.
Shenn left his feet off the ice —intentional high hit intentionally to take a player out —missed call by refs totally—-real bad
Legal hit
Scheiffle is the last person to whine about dirty play. He’s as dirty or dirtier than most.
Outside the rules of hockey = suspension. The league is gutless and caters to the US markets at every turn so nothing will happen. He's also a repeat offender and was given a 3 game suspension for charging Oshie before. He clearly didn't learn
Obviously Jake Evans has friends on the Blues.
Why no penalties on these dirty hits is the
Refereeing bias for Blues I thought that the
Whole series has been a
one sided , Jets can’t retaliate , if they do , it’s another penalty , all the top players for the Blues
hardly have a scratch !
Very unfair .
Same as Hagels hit on Barkov. That got a major and a suspension
The blues can't skate with the Jets. They need to resort to clutch, grab and dirty targeted hits to compete.
It’s like this
Page 73, Rule 42.1 of the NHL Rulebook.
There is no discretion in the call – it is mandatory, charging. The only question is the extent of the penalty.
In my view, after watching the NHL for about 65 years, seeing an interference penalty called is no surprise. Officiating has been on the decline for many years. Bill Friday was better. Andy van Hellemond and so many others in decades past. This call is just another example. A player Leaving his feet to Light up an opponent was outlawed a long long time ago for the protection and safety of every player on the ice.
So If it were my whistle, nearest to the play like referee 26 looking over his left shoulder from the near corner, or even from Ref 11’s perfect vantage point near the Jets blue line where there was no need to turn his head or body, the law would be laid down. Boom.
Schenn gets
a 5 minute major for charging
a 2 Minute minor for interference
a game misconduct for intent to injure.
After the game, a hearing, a suspension and a fine for good measure. And don’t talk back to the official because we’ll go nose to nose, and you will lose.
But that would be laying down the law.
The NHL doesn’t lay down the law. That’s why the incident occurred. It’s better for NHL business to see the smallest market Canadian team out of the playoffs in the first round. No big deal to take out their best centre, injured and not playing.
So without the law being laid down, the Jets have to go to Plan B – get a posse together, ride in close formation, bring out a few old wooden sticks in the stick rack, and take care of things themselves – every single St Louis Blue had better keep his head on a swivel – if the Blues want to play blind side hits off the feet hockey – hey Monty – I’d be all in bro. Jets have a game to give – expand the penalty box now.
Every time I see a helmet on the ice I wonder if there is a head in it. The ref's are pathetic. The TV media is promoting it. The other night the TV guys were praising Tom Wilson. He is a GOON.He is out there trying to hurt someone and that someone is always a much smaller guy.
It wasn't late. it wasn't high.
if he never leaves his feet it’s a clean hit.
