Schenn hit on Scheifele

[HockeyVirus]

2 minutes to me

Pretty silly that people are arguing about whether Schenn's feet were on the ice at impact, etc. That's not the point. The point is, was his momentum directed upwards prior to or after his horizontal momentum is transferred by impact? It's similar to questions about elbowing (was the arm in motion relative to the body before or after impact)?

I don't think there's any question in this case what Schenn is doing - he's moving upward going into the hit - he's launching himself into the hit. It does not matter that one skate is on tippy toes when contact is first made.

Combine that with where on the ice the hit is made (2-3' from the boards), and it's a hit I don't like. If that's a non-suspendable hit, I've got to have a major psychopath on my bench as a deterrent. The way I see it it's a choice - does the NHL want to be that kind of league or not?

It’s physics. The result of two objects of this mass, under these conditions, and coming together with this force will result in what we see.

This is the moment of impact by the way….

 

[The Crypto Guy]

That’s literally not even close to the same as the Ekblad hit lmao. 2 min minor for interference.

 

[RogerRoger]

He'll get nothing because the social media whiners don't care about Stl and Winni.
Ekblad would have gotten 4 for that hit.

4 what? Are we making up penalties now?

 

[Ararana]

I don't even think that was worthy of a 2 minute penalty. Straight through the chest and it only looks remotely bad because Sheifele whips his head back like crazy for no reason at all.

 

[paragon]

By far the dirtiest hit of these playoffs.

 

[OysterForever]

I don't see anything besides slightly upwards directed momentum. 2min is enough

 

[Elysian]

Great hit.

 

[RogerRoger]

4 what? Are we making up penalties now?

Considering Ek got suspended 2 games for a lesser hit, yes.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Looks a lot like the Ekblad hit to me. Right to the head, leaves his feet, Scheifele is hurt. How many games?

“How many games?” Corny ass OP

 

[Nedarb]

Schenn has jumped through hits his whole career. They won’t start suspending now

 

[TheOrganist]

When you see the cam pan right from the penalty box it gives the best angle. Scheifele was engaged with the puck and didn’t have his head up. Picked the wrong guy to do it against. I swear NHLers are just not used to players like Schenn and Wilson anymore that have the mindset to crush guys. Was also def not a head shot. Not seeing a suspension.

 

[BLNY]

That’s a good hit. Shouldn’t have even been 2.

It's sad that leaving your feet before contact (to any point of the body) has been normalized. That's a charge.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Don't think it will get anything but pretty clearly late, targeted at the head trying to hurt him. He launches upwards with his hands and jumps into it.

It's the playoffs though.

 

[jfhabs]

It's a predatory hit. He sees Schefeile isn't looking and does everything he can to hit him up high.

From my understanding of the league rules, there won't be any supplemental discipline. Hit to the head to unsuspecting players ok in the playoffs. Or sometimes not.

Honestly, it's already a very good outcome for Winnipeg that St.Louis got a double minor on the hit....

Yup, from various angles you can see Mark briefly deflected the puck, into blues player body, then was hit, but Scheen clearly jumped into that hit and left his feet before contact which is charging imo. We’ll see what if anything the league says, I doubt they do anything just bc they’ve let other questionable hits go in this playoffs already without additional punishment. That’s type of dirty hit that hurts someone or leads to a retaliation hit that hurts someone. This playoffs league wide imo has been the worst I’ve seen in a long time with refs and league letting dirty and dangerous stuff go unpunished. The fact the refs didn’t even review that hit at the time to make sure they got the call right is insane, no harm in a review but they refused.

He's been suspended before.

Brayden Schenn suspended three games for charging Capitals forward T.J. Oshie

The Flyers’ final game of the season will in fact have an effect on how their 2016-17 season begins, as the NHL announced today that Flyers forward Brayden Schenn will be suspended for the first three…

I could see a one game SuspenSchenn now.

 

[Stealth JD]

Scheifele didn't return after taking this hit, which he also popped right back up from. Might be the accumulation of the punishment he's taken...dude has been treated like a piñata the entire series.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Schenn leaves his feet before contact.
That's a dirty hit.

I doubt the league does anything though.

 

[BOBBY9]

Great hit. Not even 2 min.

 

[bud12]

2min interference is the right call

 

[pb1300]

Fantastic hit! Puck is roughly within stick distance of Scheifele, doesnt look like he went to the head like the roided Ekblad did. I think you let the players dance a little with each other, blow the whistles, and move on. Shouldnt even be 2.

 

[sepster]

Schenn should be awarded two free penalties to take in the next game since he shouldn't have been given anything on this hit.
