What a stupid gesture of Mark Scheifele on Jake Evans !!!!! Shameful!!! #Jets

Mark Scheifele's blow to Jake Evans is unrivaled. We are in the category never seen in living memory. The violence of the gesture and the speed with which Scheifele makes contact on Evans will ensure a suspension. It deserves to be long.

So let's see tabarnak !!!!

A dangerous gesture ???? Ciborium is a criminal act !!! What a second-rate league! Unbelievable ... and what's the code now?

What a check from Mark Scheifele's 🤬. If he is not suspended for the rest of the series… oh well no, it's true, it's the NHL, we can't expect anything from the leaders of this league, even for a attempted murder #CH #GoHabsGo

Jake Evans walks out on a stretcher. He gave a thumbs up before stepping out of the rink.
The NHL will have to put on his pants and suspend Mark Scheifele, even though he is an all-star and does not have a history of suspension.

Frankly disgusting blow of Mark Scheifele towards Jake Evans. The Canadiens player's head hit the ice.

I have never seen such a violent collision

An unsightly gesture that smears this beautiful sport. Disgusting. #GoHabsGo

Rarely have I seen anything so filthy… Fuck Sheiffle, forever. Fuck this guy

Esti thick. Concussion. Full of mard. 😠

Can we stop saying that Scheiffle has no history and is not a bastard player please? Any bum is deemed to be a good guy until he commits a crime. Whistle this evening has committed a crime! #CH #AmDisgusted

Horrible scene. Horrible gesture. Player who is celebrating his 25th birthday today and has a history of concussion. And who gets one of the nastiest hits I've seen recently. Really I wish to #JakeEvans the best for the future. Leave a bitter taste in this game.

Great victory for the Canadian. I wish Jake Evans the best possible recovery. #GoHabsGo

A thought for Jake Evans. He scored a goal on his 25th birthday, but was the victim of a vicious blow. We hope for a quick return. #gohabsgo

Horrible. On his 25th birthday. Poor boy. #jakeevans

A thought for Evans.

Our thoughts are with Jake Evans…. we follow everything. He has just paid the price for the Canadian's victory. #GoHabsGo #plq #How brave

All this… on his birthday! Hoping all will be well for Jake Evans. https://t.co/qfK8PFeK9A

Boring but I'm really starting to wonder if I still want to listen to hockey… I finally have many other things to do that are more creative and more intelligent.

The violence shown by Scheifele of the @NHLJets from Winnipeg yesterday has nothing to do with hockey. She shames hockey. Sporting spirit. I was sad that my boy, mega fan of @CanadiansMTL attends such a free act. The @NHL can't let that go.
- Catherine Pogonat (@catpogonat) June 3, 2021

I just hope no one is going to believe Mark Scheifele when he says he didn't want to hurt Jake Evans @RDSca #CH
