Sorry if I've been not around as much lately, I've honestly felt a bit depressed as of late. Thankfully apparently my computer is finally fixed after a month 1/2, so I'll be more active this upcoming week

Don't exaggerate so much here, come on. Players don't protect themselves as much anymore because the NHL has changed. The Matt Cookes and, yes, Marty McSorleys, of the league are becoming rarer and rarer, and there are less potentially career-ending hits being dished out, so yes, players tend to protect themselves less. But you're totally missing my point' they shouldn't need to. If Evans was this fancy little superstar who relied on goons to protect him his entire career, there's no way he would have survived the NCAA, AHL, and now NHL playing the way he does, as a bottom-six grinder kind of guy. I think it's fair to say he's had some experience protecting himself in the past, right? So if it's his judgment, which is 'hey, I've got the puck behind an empty net and I'm gonna wrap it around as quickly as possible to win us the game', versus the judgment of the frustrated Scheifele, which is probably 'Evans is going to score right here unless I miraculously dive and stop it, but why the hell would I do that, I'm mad about my teams' and my own performance tonight so I'm going to take out my anger on him'. How the hell is Evans supposed to expect Scheifele flying in and knocking him unconscious? What's he supposed to do? Look up, see Scheifele raging down the ice, and just sit behind the net and wait for him to stop the game winning goal? Or should I risk getting hit and score that mf? It's like arguing with a million George Parros's

By trying to score a goal? This is the NHL, and an empty net goal would seal the game in favour of the Habs. Is he supposed to look both ways before he tucks the puck in? He shouldn't have to! This sort of McSorley hockey doesn't belong in the NHL anymore. You can't deny that the right defensive play by Scheifele was to either lunge or dive and try to knock the puck away with his stick, not accept that Evans was going to score and basically retaliate with a punishing hit with intent to injure. Evans can't be at fault because Scheifele isn't using the rational part of his brain to make a decision and gives up an easy goal when he could have defended but instead took out his frustration on Evans. This is a suspendable action, no doubt.

Evans was hustling around the net trying to wrap the puck in, so of course he puts his head down for a second to tuck it in. It's Scheifele who is there to charge in after skating the length of the ice and barely slowing down to take advantage of Evans' vulnerable position to deliver a massive hit where he brought up his elbow with clear intention to injure. He was frustrated throughout the third period, and cross checked a player who was on the ground before his anger consumed him once again and he decided to go for a huge hit instead of trying to defend the goal with his stick. In the words of Jesperi Kotkaniemi, 'I think it's disgusting'.

Hello everyone,
Welcome to the first chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the Gms and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. In this chapter we will talk about his childhood, where he was born, when did he start hockey and how he got where he is now.
Baby Bob was born on April 10, 2003 in Lévis, Quebec. He lived in a very normal family with a father, a mother and a sister in a very basic house. He was not poor, but not rich and he lived a happy childhood. He started playing hockey when he was 7 years old. He played single letters almost all his childhood until he arrived midget. This is at this moment that he started to play with his full potential. During his first year, he played midget AA and had 20 goals and 40 points in 40 games. At his second year in the midget, he played in the AAA. That's the season where he started to be really productive in terms of points. He scored 38 goals and 34 apples in only 42 games. With these stats, Baby Bob was drafted first overall in the 2019 QMJHL draft by the Saint John Sea Dogs at the age of 16. Baby Bob made the team in his first season where he had a good season of 42 goals and 31 assists in 68 games. These stats made him finish 2nd in the trophy race for the rookie of the year behind Zachary Bolduc from the Rimouski Oceanics. The Saint John Sea Dogs made the playoffs, but they lost 4-2 in the first round against the Cape Breton Eagles by the scores of 5-1, 4-3, 5-7, 5-4pr, 1-2 and 3-2. During the 2020 draft, the Sea Dogs drafted 3rd overall and they selected Leighton Carruthers. He is a very good center that helped Baby Bob a lot with his offensive and defensive aspects of the games. Next season, the Sea Dogs had a really good campaign where they finished 2nd in the league with a record of 45-20-3 for a total of 93 points in 68 games. Baby and Leighton had both an incredible season, Baby scored 46 goals and 51 assists for 97 points and Leighton had 27 goals and 37 assists for 64 points. Baby Bob finished 3rd for the most points in the regular season and made the 1st star team of the QMJHL and the 2nd star team of the CHL. In the first round of the playoffs, the Sea Dogs defeated the Oceanic 4-0 to make it into the 2nd round where they beated the Victoriaville Tiger 4-1. They also won the semi-final against the Chicoutimi Saguenéens by the score of 4-1 to win their spot in the final of the Coupe du Président against the islanders where they lost 4-3 with a defeat of 5-4 in prolongation to stop them from going to the Memorial Coupe. Baby Bob had an outstanding post-season where he had 19 goals and 22 assists in only 21 games.
Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob.
