  1. I’ve been a Canucks fan since day one so for most my life that was a good hit, hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
  2. Is the game getting more violent or are we just getting softer?
  3. At full speed watching it live it looked bad, are you saying refs are always right? If the refs didn’t call it then all he’ll would have broken loose. We’ll see what DoPS decide after analyzing the play.
  4. So, we’ve been going back and forth I propose a deal: 0 games: you concede I’m not dumb. 1 game: I can see one game just to avoid a bloodbath so I’d call it a wash. 2+ games: I will admit I’m not so smart.
  5. So what’s your prediction on suspension, I predicted no suspension, I can see one but only to calm stuff down next game. If it’s 2 or more then I’ll freely admit I’m wrong. If it’s 1 or less will you admit I’m right?
  6. The hit was the play, poking the puck when you’re full speed towards your own net will most likely result in an own goal.
  7. He did not skate 200’ to make a hit, every hit every the hitee skated to make the hit, what was he supposed to do, not chase Evans?
  8. Does egregious mean good or bad? Something that is egregious stands out, but not in a good way — it means "really bad or offensive." So, really bad example of charging? I agree.
  9. What I think and why I think there will be no suspension is he was racing back for the puck. When Evans came around the net for the wraparound I think Scheifle thought a hit was his best bet to stop the goal but that was a last second/split second decision and it almost worked. I believe when he made the decision to make the hit he was already coasting, not taking strides or going out of his way to make the hit. If you watch his skates and body it looks like last second he changes his bodies trajectory to make the hit. Its a fast game and easy to criticize in hindsight. From watching the slo-mo replays the contact itself looks clean.
  10. The refs made a call based on something happening at full speed, a suspension or lack there of will be the result of the play being broken down and analyzed. Before watching replays I would have made the same call.
  11. No, he went 190’ chasing the puck, the hit happened last second as a way of preventing a goal. Id bet a year of sobriety that if it was Marchand that was hit the majority would be siding with me.
  12. As I’ve already said, puck is coming in front of the net, Scheifele is skating towards it, probably better chance he pokes it into his own net then stops the goal, a split second sooner and the hit prevents the goal. We’ll see what DoPeS says.
  13. To prevent a goal, not to make a hit, should he have just hung around and shot the breeze with Price?
  14. Then every body check should be charging and we’ll all be watching figure skating.
  15. The hit was the attempt to prevent it, if he tried using his stick he could have easily poked the puck into his own net. The hit came a fraction of a second after the puck crossed the line, had it not everyone would be saying great hit. I’m sorry, I see no suspendible offence.
  16. He was skating back to prevent a goal, was he just supposed to stop and give up? There is no way when he started chasing he was thinking hit, he was trying to prevent the goal. Also when he made the hit he was not accelerating, he was coasting. He did not skate 200’ to make a hit.
  17. By definition you need to take two or more strides to make the hit, if he didn’t it’s not charging.
  18. If the puck is coming out front using his stick or diving could just as easily result in an own goal, the hit was his best chance and he didn’t miss by much. Easy to analyze hours after the game after watching multiple replays, Scheifele had to make a split second decision.
  19. I don’t think he took any strides to go out of his way to make the hit, all his strides were to come back to prevent the goal, when he made the hit he was already gliding so I say charging, no way.
