  1. I know he's a small guy, but Makar has to learn to keep his skate down when taking a hit. That was a pretty moderate hit and somehow his skateblade is at neck height. That situation has killed players before (as recently as last year in a European league). Makar also sliced Landy's knee with a similar lack of control, contributing to Landy missing 3 years.
