Makar doesn't have a reputation as a dirty player (he's not, generally), so I think refs gave him the benefit of the doubt. In an interview after the game, he said he wasn't aware play had stopped at the point he committed to the check, and after talking the refs seemed to agree on that. EDIT: Looks like the NHL decided to suspend him for a game. That could be big for the Kraken's chances. Perhaps he will be getting a round of golf in with Russ on his unexpected day off!

It’s the player’s sole responsibility to know where the puck is at all times and the puck was about 30 feet from McCann when he lined him up. It was so delayed from his separation from the puck that the that McCann would be essentially defenseless and entirely unsuspecting. And assessing match penalties are not done based on reputation. Only supplemental discipline takes that into consideration. That was a text book intent to injure play, and I’m not a Kraken fan (GO KNIGHTS!). I was absolutely floored they overturned it.

The human element was pretty minimal. Both refs either lost track of the puck or the hit was so ridiculously delayed that they switched themselves off believing he the play was well dead and over. They did the right thing initially and one of the linesmen clearly had a great real-time angle on the play. Only confusing thing at that point was how they could call it an interference major given the fact the play was dead. Seemed like roughing or boarding was far more appropriate. Things went off the rails when they reviewed it and then downgraded it to a minor. It met every possible benchmark for a match penalty, including intent to injure which is not required for the assessment of a five minute major/game misconduct. Clearly the league acknowledges this now given that there has been supplemental discipline. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

But again, if a player has a history of making "intent to injure" plays, refs are aware of that and often more likely to make that initial call. Makar does not.

They did make that initial call, appropriately. It was a no-brainer, and even the initial missing of it was at least kind of understandable and also something that made the incident that much more flagrant. The walking it back to a two-minute minor is inexplicable and reputation is a complete non-factor at that point when it comes to the review process. Again, clearly the fact he was given supplemental discipline is a nod to the fact they screwed up. And at that point prior offenses absolutely matter. A known head-hunter would have received 3+ games for a hit like that. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Ranger Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 The rule changes to baseball have made a significant difference in the watchability this season, imo.

This would have been a very different draft if we had the #3 pick…Stupid Texans converting that Hail Mary at the end of the last regular season game, and for the stupid Broncos for taking away Wilson’s 2nd story office and parking spot at the end of the season and making him play better.
