DevsMan84 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Whenever I hear Devils ownership/management talking about investing more into analytics, I think of where Toronto and Arizona are. Both teams are heavy into analytics and both have accomplished squat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Imagine going through that whole rebuild, top 10 picks in 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2016 that got you Reilly, Nylander, Marner, and Matthews, and your reward when you become a regular playoff team is to choke out in the first round ever year. That's just crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Sheiffle or however you spell it just took off Evans head as he scored an empty net goal. Just elbow right to the head, didn't even try for the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) That is reallllllyyyyyyyyy bad. Scheifele looks bewildered by everyone's reaction. It looks like he is asking "Was that a late hit" or "was that a bad hit" or something. Edited June 3, 2021 by NJDevils1214 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Ottawa Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Montreal luck continues at unbelievable levels. WPG best player likely suspended for taking out fourth line scrub. You can't even make up how stupid that play was for WPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just elbow right to the head, didn't even try for the puck. Absolutely a bad hit, and a head hit, but I didn’t see it as just an elbow to the head, at least not in a Domi-Niedermayer kind of way. He tried to take the body and threw an awful hit, both in time and location. Hope Evans is ok after he recovers from that concussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a bad hit / charging / to a vulnerable player. Hard to say if the head was the primarly point of contact, kind of looks like the chest took the initial hit but wtv. Its still charging a vulnerable player. But if someone sees an elbow to the head there, they probably shouldnt drive and need glasses haha Edited June 3, 2021 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yeah that's a brutal hit that might not have looked out of place in the 90s, but it's clearly unacceptable in today's league. If they don't suspend him Montreal will target him all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't suspend him Montreal will target him all night. I would argue it is charging even in the 90's. Charging is another penalty that for whatever reason doesn't get called as often as it should these days. You used to see it get called far more 20+ years ago than you do today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I don’t agree that there was intent to injure. He was definitely looking to run him over with a devastating hit, he should be penalized, and suspended, but I don’t even think the head was the primary point of contact. When he delivers the hit, you don’t see Evans’ head snap at the moment of contact, which makes me think the chest was first. @SterioDesign’s picture above makes that pretty clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I guess the refs wanted to go home early last night in Colorado, that "slashing" call on Vegas in the first minute of the ot was absolutely pathetic. Barely touched the Colorado players stick, didn't even break, and the guy only had 1 hand on his stick and throws his hands up in the air like omg I was slashed. Absolutely hate those calls, hold on to your damn stick. I'd be irritate if that call cost the Devils a playoff game.
