Damian Lillard is the best player on the court .. even when he isn't on the court.
Ouch. Tells you how closely I follow the NBA.

Best money goalie on the planet, best remaining top 4 D, good coach, and 21 guys who play the entire surface. Loads of championship experience and a few young stars.
Can they beat a team that is essentially $18 million over the cap? Hope so. Hate to see the NHL tun into MLB.

Hmmm ...
Canadiens have the best money goaltender alive, their top 2 D pairings are the best remaining, and they have no superstars they depend on just 4 solid hard working lines who focus on the entire 200 foot game. I'll throw in that they are tremendously well coached.
They remind me of the Kings teams that won cups in the past decade. And they are built to take down talented open ice teams like the Jets .. and Tampa and Colorado. Isles, Bruins, Vegas, and Carolina would be tougher matchups for them.

Elks?
More than 1 Elk is Elk.
But I suppose Edmonton fans can drink Beers watching the Elks .. or drink Beer watching the Elk.
Just as long as they get to watch again.

I also think Scheifele deserves the benefit of the doubt
I partially agree with you. To date he's been as clean a player as there is in the league. Pretty certain the 4 games he got was influenced by the outrage directed at the league over Wilson's non-punishment ($5K fine) for deliberate intent to injure.
Evans lack of awareness contributed to the outcome. But Scheifele might have prevented the goal if he played the puck. More importantly he likely avoids suspension if he did make a play on the puck before the collision.
Outside of Montreal I doubt there is a Scheifele hate train. His game doesn't warrant it. The guy doesn't even swear or talk shit (crap in his words) on the ice.

Jets fan ... that was brutal.
Scheifele is pretty much known around the league as a player who steers clear of rough play. He is often a target because opponents know he isn't the type to fight or look for payback but can be ruffled. Habs were all over him all game but that is playoff hockey. Absolutely no defending that response. That hit was Wilson/Khadri level garbage and the NHL needs to deal with it.
Local news mentioned that Evans was not admitted to hospital but was being observed by team doctors. He's a good young player and hope he is ok.

Yankees Fan Throws Baseball at Red Sox Outfielder
Give the kid a break. Unfortunately he's probably just a product of his upbringing. Maybe give him a chance to meet the guy he threw the ball at.
