Is he really expected to ease up in a one goal playoff game because he is probably beaten? It’s not like this is garbage time or a meaningless game, the exact opposite situation in fact

Scheifele's not even looking at the puck. 100% focus on dealing as much damage to the player as possible. He probably already knows the puck was in. The hit didn't stop the play in any way, it was just to punish Evans. More akin to hitting a quarterback after the play. Scheifele lost his temper IMO and gave an unnecessary hit after the play.
