Hypothetical: McDavid hits fourth line call up and injures him. Call up is out for the season… so is McDavid. It can never happen.

Either that, or they are being overly cautious. Waiting for the next round.....ffs.

Or he's not cleared by a doctor. You know those guys who could be in shit if they cleared him when he wasn't ready

Bowness said before yesterday's game that he has not been cleared to play yet. That's on the doctors.

Good thing he was suspended for that one meaningless game, amirite?

Yep. That will definitely make him change his ways. 6 fines and 2 on-game suspensions. I wonder if he'll get a special discount for the 10th time he's "disciplined" by the league.
Reminds me of when Reaves kneed that dude in the face a couple of years ago against Colorado and he cashed in his DOPS rewards card for 75% off a suspension.
Definitely worked on me.
We were all expecting him to play in Game 1 based on what Ehlers said. No one thought he would miss the first four games.

League-appointed, independent doctors would have to be involved. Or suspensions based on the average recovery time of inflicted injury
And too bad for McDavid and thr Oilers. That's the whole point of the idea. Deter people for doing stupid shit

Actually I forgot to add one point. The team says the injured fourth liner is “day to day”, especially if the team is chasing the offender’s team in the standings or about to play them again.
The ridiculously inconsistent and totally random decision making of the (ahem) player’s safety group should be overhauled first.

The NHL will never do that ( keep the player who caused the injury out for as long as the injured party is out ) , BUT, what they could do is fine the person who caused the injury, and the fine is paid until the player who was hurt comes back or say for a maximum of one season, in case the injured player doesn't play again.
Say $5.000 ( the current maximum the NHL can fine any player ) for every game the injured party misses.

It's not random decisions ... they know exactly what they are doing.
If Scheifele played for certain teams his hit on Evans would have been a heavy fine and if there was a suspension it would have been only 1 game max.

I went back in time and watched the NHL Dops video when the suspended Scheifele to compare that to the Hartman suspension ( hit on Ehlers ) and even the Makar suspension, and as far as I can tell the difference was:
Hartman and Makar were both penalized for "Interference" and subsequently received 1 game suspensions. Scheifele was penalized for "Charging" and received his 4 game suspension. The NHL Dops seems to treat Charging as a much more grievous act than Interference, hence the higher suspension. I looked at other Charging suspensions and a lot of them were more than 1 game with quite a few being 3 games. They seem to look at Charging as predatory, where Interference isn't.
I am not defending the DOPS because they really have no clue what they are doing, but they do seem to treat Charging as worse than Interference,

In a way, it was charging - although not as defined.
Ehlers was coming in full clip and Hartman steps in front of him a lays a hit -
Same impact and should be evaluated that way - but obviously wasn't.
If these guys are breaking everything down to x's and o's when they review this stuff, you can expect a lot of bad calls on all the tuff that doesn't fit neatly into their definitions.
Jets are lulling Vegas into a state of complacency.
Just wait until the pre-game skate. We're going to see Schiefele, Ehlers, Perfetti, Morrissey, Big Buff, and Hawerchuck (somehow) ready to play.
Vegas is going to FREAK and they will get routed easily.
Just wait and see!

Until he steps onto the ice for Thursdays game don't believe a word the Jets say.

He's what I have with that problem.
Scheifele was fasting as fast as he can to get to the net to stop him from scoring. Evans came around the net and step in front of Scheifele.
Its like if I'm driving through an intersection and some idiot goes through a red light and I T-bone him ... its my fault???
Scheifele has just as much right to the ice he never turned to Evans ... Evans turned into him.
Montreal media affected that decision...and the Jets have no media clout so the hit on Ehlers was just meh.

One game too late unfortunately. I thought Ehlers said he was ready to go earlier. Unless permanent damage is possible, he should have dressed earlier. These are the playoffs…screw doctor’s clearance.
i suspect the permanent injury caution was why he has been held out.
