/r/hockey would just hella downvote but I dont understand
If he’s not injured, are we even talking about this? If he pops right back up and goes at Makar, literally nothing happens.
Why does Dumba throw a similar type hit (late that resulted in injury, mainly due to fall) and get no suspension?
Fucking silly lol. Whatever, fuck you DoPS

Thank goodness for the inconsistent rulings. Dude has zero history of any malicious intent. Whistle not blown and lost puck with his eyes. Its interference, no less no more.

This is an “appease the new market” suspension…

If he wasn’t injured, no one is talking about this. It’s under a microscope bc of the injury, but this type of contact happens constantly in playoffs. Does it make a legal hit by the rule book, no. Is it something that would normally have been called if there was no injury, probably not. Does this type of play often result in injury, no.
IMO the suspension is prob warranted considering the outcome, but I wouldn’t have been shocked if he only got a fine either. Unfortunate

Yeah but Jeff Carter and I forgot who it was against St Louis can basically headhunt Cale.

Call me a homer but I do try and be as eivenkeeled as possible. Makar is a player with no history at all, actually goes out of his way to be be a role model and play with integrity.
He lost sight of the puck and thought the play was to continue so he finished his check, McCann had basically stopped playing hockey for a split second and so it looks a lot more egregious than it was intended to.
I don’t want anyone injured but I am just surprised the community is up in arms over this hit.
Not to mention, what sort of consequences were given out when Makar was blindsided by an ACTUAL malicious hit to the head earlier this year?
Just so inconsistent

Update your Makar bios and add gritty.

Meh, that’s fair. It would have been a nothing play if McCann stayed in the play braced for it, but he didn’t and got smoked. Inadvertently dirty hit from a clean player. It happens. Let’s fight through it and win the next one.

Can’t say I’m shocked. The NHL picks and chooses when to review shit, let’s talk about stamkos having no history but is actually a dirty player. The amount of people he has boarded (Girard was on of them) and to not even get reviewed is comical!
redbeansandporn
I don’t know, hes still my favorite player in the league and the best defenseman since Bobby Orr, but a 1 game suspension doesn’t seem unreasonable. Puck was obviously nowhere near, play was dead, and DOPS does take injury into account. They’re still a garbage department, but this doesn’t seem like an outrageous ruling.

No big deal, just have to rely on Manson not fucking up EVEN MORE now… we’ll be fine..

The inconsistency is absolutely mind boggling.

Does anyone know if Toronto can ring down to the refs and ask them to review an incident for a penalty? Because it seemed initially that the refs weren’t going to call anything here

Time for Byram to elevate his game even more now. No pressure.

Can we move on now?

Bettman greasing palms to get that 7 game David vs. Goliath narrative rolling.
I hope the Avs wake up and destroy as much as possible from here on out.

McCann knew the puck went out of play because he saw it, Makar had no idea, and without hearing a whistle, he did exactly what you’re supposed to do and play until the whistle. It’s only because McCann saw the puck go into the netting that he let up, which leads to him being vulnerable to the hit, which, in turn, leads to his injury! But Makar had no vicious or ill intent and if the whistle had blown as soon as the puck hit the netting, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.
IF ANYTHING, THE REF THAT FAILED TO BLOW THE WHISTLE AS SOON AS THE PUCK WENT OUT OF PLAY SHOULD BE SUSPENDED
PapaDoughboy
I honestly am fine with this. It sucks but he made a dumb play that he didn’t need to and we gotta live with it. Cale has made 1000000 great plays. He’s allowed to make bc one dumb move, serve his suspension and move on.
Avs had no business going to OT last night yet they did. It’s going to be an absolute battle, but this team knows how to win games.

Anyone else see the Kraken cross check a helmet-less Rodrigues post-whistle last night & not even get called for a penalty? I’m not understanding how this is a suspension but cross checking a helmet less player from behind doesn’t even get a 2 min minor.
manbeqrpig
Absolutely the right call and it doesn’t shock me that this sub is having such a homer reaction. There is simply no place in the game for a hit that comes a good 3-4 seconds after the shot with the puck nowhere in sight. It’s a shame our generational defenseman had to make the most idiotic decision of his career and jeopardize this series as a result

This is such fucking bullshit. Manson you need to light a fire under your ass and step it the fuck up more than you ever have in your life. I swear to god.

Fine with this, twas a boneheaded mistake
pforsbergfan9
I think if he got the 5 and a game then he wouldn’t have gotten suspended. But because he got downgraded to a 2, he has to sit a game.
