Incidents like Mark Scheifele’s hit on Jake Evans will continue to happen because NHL treats the safety of its players as secondary
In this case, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said he thought the Scheifele hit on Evans was a “clean” play. Parros, a heavyweight enforcer of limited talent when he played, has been unable to to establish a sensible, logical philosophy of dealing with NHL players who cross the line. In the case of Scheifele’s hit on Evans, the Jets centre was ticked off at how the game had gone. After the game, Montreal players and coach Dominique Ducharme had the usual inflammatory quotes about the incident. Montreal players would have said nothing.
