If they let him back in to this series he is going to get blown up like crazy. I think it's in everyone's best interest to just sideline him for now.

I thought 2 would have been fair. 4 seems high unless the injury is really bad and they're trying to even it out. I think if he doesn't have the penalty/stuff earlier in the 3rd, though, or if he actually tried to play the puck at all it would be much less.

This is the reasoning of the NHL.
In the video explanation of the penalty levied for charging, the NHL Department of Player Safety said Scheifele was “moving with excessive momentum gained from travelling a considerable distance finishes his check violently and with unwarranted force into Evans, making significant head contact in the process and causing an injury.”
Because Scheifele didn’t make a play on the puck and instead chose to focus on delivering the “high, predatory hit” after the outcome of both the play and the game had already been decided, that was a major factor in the final decision.

I can't really argue with most of that, other than not knowing for sure how much head contact there was from the initial hit v. whiplash from it (although there could be, was just tough to see from the default angles).

Man, the Islanders really made that a game. I was hoping they'd win, but Rask just made it impossible.

Kinda crazy Boston looked great for a lot of it, but soon as the Islanders scored they were all over Boston and could have won it early in OT a few times. Marchand seeing eye shot. Kind of how it goes when the Islanders got a friendly bounce for a breakaway in OT of Game 2.

Man, I just watched a summary of the Tampa Bay game from earlier. Did Carolina ever freaking collapse in the second period. Ouch.
