/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.
The wheel has ruled.
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!
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?
There goes the season.
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
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.
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
We’d all want the same if the situation was reversed.
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
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.
Such bullshit. It makes no sense that dumba gets nothing and cale gets a game.
All those games without makar was in preparation for game 5. One of those games being a dub vs Seattle. It’s all part of the plan boys.
Anyways, extra couple days for him to heal from that cross check that was so hard it broke the stick. Which was not a penalty.
Independently, I agree with a one-game suspension in terms of “game safety.” However, inconsistency is a huge problem and I disagree with it.
I’m all for players protection and personnaly I dont mind the suspension, I just find it hilarous that it went from 5 min major to 2 min interference to a game suspension.
I don’t agree with the suspension either, but honestly this may be for the better. If he played the next game, there’s a good chance Seattle players would have been taking shots at him all game.
Now that the league has (supposedly) taken care of this, hopefully this will prevent Makar or any other Avs from being targeted for the rest of the series.
That’s 10-ply.
I agree with the ruling
Non dirty player made a dirty play, causing an injury.
Moving on then…
Absolute joke. I suspect they only did this to try and appease their new fanbase.
Leagues gone soft.
Honestly glad he got a game. If he don’t get suspended they were going to hurt him
The NHL favoritism for Seattle will continue until morale improves!
At this point I am convinced there is no way they will let the new market lose their first playoff series.
The fault lies with Makar to be sure the player he is hitting is eligible for the hit. He gambled and tried to time it right so he would land the hit when the puck comes to McCann, didn’t work out. That’s the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn’t. Makar tried to make a real sweet play but it didn’t work out how he thought it would. I don’t fault his decision making because this is a split second decision made in the moment and she didn’t go.
After watching the video, he ended up hitting an ineligible player. So….
The most I expected was a max fine and call it a day. We got Panther Fuck Boi laying cross checks to the head AFTER the whistle and everyone clearly knows the period is over not getting suspended – WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
Fuck off DOPS – you are not keeping everyone safe, you are selectively picking on whomever whenever you decide to get involved. This is a bullshit call because there is no precident for a suspension based on all the shit that is not even penalized at the time, or fined/suspended in review by your jackass committee
