Scheifele's Suspension: Reporter claims George Parros was looking to help the Habs

The NHL Department of Player Safety punished Scheifele for four games for charging Habs winger Jake Evans in the third period of Game 1's 5-3 loss.

That's a bold comment from the reporter, who didn't hold back in condemning Parros in favour of Scheifele.
