Sure, call a charge, though if that is stopped a goal it wouldn’t be from what I can tell. But a suspension? Because he was a quarter second late making his play? I don’t get it.

He coasts in from the hash marks for sure, doesn't leave his feet and catches him a millisecond too late to stop the goal. It's the second round of the playoffs and people actually think he should just let up and let them increase the lead to 2 goals with about a minute to go. It's really bizarre.
And to add to this even further, I would imagine that Evans would among the first to say he should've had his head up. He's played enough hockey to know that.
I have no doubt that he's getting suspended, because nothing here makes sense, but that's not what ought to happen.
