Omg i love the humanity of Ehlers here— not even his teammate, but protecting a fellow human in trouble. Amazing

Mad respect for Ehlers during that scrum. So heartwarming to see a player, especially from the opposing team, remember that health and safety come first.
What an effort of protection. That’s a Hat-Pick!
I hope Evans is okay.

As a Canadiens fan, I absolutely respect Ehlers for shielding Evans. Also disappointed that our guys didn't go to Evans first.

What a class move by Ehlers trying to keep the scrum away for Evans

[fayzeewifi]

bro this was scary, evans didn't move for a while and I hope he recovers quick

[orlandopadilla]

Man watching Ehlers holding back the pile. Is like holding a mush pit. At a concert. Mad respect for him.

[jackiegillis]

I even heard it was is first goal and his 25th birthday. That’s so sad

[AZNB]

Good on Ehlers for keeping all the players away from Evans

[archvile]

Damn look at Ehlers, what a gentleman he is.

Scheifele would have had a better chance of stopping the goal if he had tried to play the puck or block the net with his stick... it also would have been the sportsmanlike/respectful play. Instead he decided to just plow into the defenceless Evans.

as a habs fan, i have mad respect for ehlers protecting a young kid, that was a dangerous hit, he knew that evans was gonna score he didnt have to do that, it was uncalled for tbh im happy about suspension. Im not trying to start anything. i hope you get better soon buddy. GO HABS GO!

[jaredross]

Jets fan here, praying it’s nothing serious for Evans man. Hurts to see that. Praise to you Ehlers for trying to keep them off evans 🙏

Ehlers has gained my respect after watching this. Holding the scrum back and trying to get help right away. Huge props to him.
