f*** the nhl and the department of safety.

This has been a very strange year, in so many ways.
It has ended badly as far as Jets fandom is concerned, but there were some good times too.
This place and the guys and gals here have been very important to me, helping me through some dark times. Thanks.

Now we are in next year country. I'm expecting some change and hoping it will be for the better.
GJG!

That is exactly what Chef did.. it's gross, he deserved to be suspended. So did Krug.
Its nonsence like this that tarnishes the beauty of the game.

 

[jetsforever]

Remember that even though it feels like we crashed out, we still made it as far as Carolina, one of Vegas/Colorado, and one of Boston/NYI. I'd call that successful.

The double standard is appalling.
Either both get suspended or neither does.

Yeah.... But I mean a single 2nd round game win feels further

 

[Do or Die]

Not the fact we got swept.......but the way we got swept.... was like pulling the plug, and watching the good vibes from the Oil series, swirl down the drain.

Some exit interview material here. Not sure if there's already a thread for this:

f*** the nhl and the department of safety.

First, let's note this was 2 years ago. We should be looking now at discipline moving forward to see if this get tough policy remains.

Also, the hit was shoulder on shoulder, no head contact. The St Louis player saw him coming. It was a hard hit and probably deserved a penalty for something (charging, interference) but it wasn't nearly as predatory as what Scheifele did.

yeah, but there the league wasn’t trying to get a small market Canadian team eliminated from the playoffs.

Who cares if it was 2 years ago. Not like it was 10-15-20 years.
only reason Evans didn’t see it coming was because he was staring at the puck. Which one who has played any level of hockey knows that is a no no.
Scheifele put his shoulder square in Evans chest. That is clear as day.
How was krug’s hit not as predatory? It was more predatory if you acting watched both.

Shoulder on shoulder vs shoulder to chest with secondary head contact as a result of being a smaller player.

The fact is that if Evans didn't get hurt there wouldn't have even been a penalty called on the play, nevermind a lengthy suspension. In the DOPs video they couldn't say the head was the primary point of contact because the video shows that it wasn't. Instead they said "significant contact to the head". It's moving the goalposts to fit your their narrative in this situation. They say he skated the length of the ice to deliver the hit but he was backchecking. Of course he skated the length of the ice.

A fraction of a second sooner and he seperates the man from the puck and prevents the goal. A fraction of a second late and all people can say is "he didn't try to play the puck" but there is more than one way to defend and there is no requirement to try to stick check there. The fact that DOPs uses that to condemn the act is insane to me. The results were as poor as possible but the act and decision wasn't bad.

In parting:

5 ways to explain the Habs' success without admitting they're a good team

Where is the Montreal Outrage Machine now?

Alex Wojakowski still has scratches on his face and is walking with a limp after he says he was punched, shoved and had his Winnipeg Jets jersey ripped off while walking home from the Habs game Monday night.

Just came here to post this. Disgusting. Too bad those people aren't as classy as the Canadiens organization.

 

[Ondrej The Giant]

Getting more annoyed with every thread being about the Habs dredging up the Scheifele hit as if he is the devil incarnate or looking to get their tires pumped. It's either "hey, everyone, Montreal Canadiens are a pretty good hockey team right?" or "Scheifele should never play again, he is the most dangerous player ever!" They need to move on.

 

[Crocket]

Charging, how about Bennett charging on Coleman from behind. Literally the most dangerous hit you can make, lucky Coleman isn't paralyzed.
One game suspension. Let's not forget, Evans skated right out in front, head down and had every opportunity to defend himself. I don't like how he got hurt, the kid has been KO'd every year with his head down, it's too bad. But who comes around the net wide open like that?

[Afterburner]

The main boards/Habs faithful are still rabid over all things evil Chef and diabolical Jets did and said I see. We must be the flavor of the Summer to harrumph about constantly. I seriously don't envy the mods.

Habs fans were calling for Bergevin’s head when they were down 3-1 in the series against Toronto.

A couple of my friends are Habs fans and they’re just enjoying the ride right now but ultimately feel these wins, other than the experience it’s given their young guys, is doing more harm than good if Bergevin gets extended.

I guess similar to us — going on a run would be fun but in all likelihood we get slaughtered next round and a final four run gives Maurice even more rope and us, a shittier draft pick.

i'm still wondering how much the long break may have hurt the team. i cant stand those protracted breaks in the playoffs.

they sure seemed off compared to edm series. night and day really.

It’s more ‘why’ did the long break implode the Jets and not Tampa or Colorado...

Closed, onto the summer & draft.
