Cale Makar speaks about hitting Kraken forward Jared McCann
Пікірлер
People saying it shouldn't be a suspension...it was 3 seconds after the puck was gone and he took their leading scorer out of the game and maybe the series. One game is the absolute minimum he should have gotten.

Dude let his emotions come into play. McCann and him were going back and forth the whole time. The fact that he said, "didn't mean to finish him that hard" and "I think they would have done the same" feels like he kind is admitting it was premeditated. The game speed and emotions get high, but awareness has got to be the priority when other people's health is on the line. Its when you are just trying to get back at the other guy that someone usually gets hurt.

No.. he meant to check him. It was a perfectly clean hit. It looked bad the frost time I saw it live but the replay it’s clear he isn’t powering through his arm like I thought he did in real time. The kraken player didn’t hit his head on the ice. So if he did hurt his head it was from the boards. He wasn’t expecting a hit. Shit happens. Hurting anyone is never a good thing. No intent. But there is some responsibility in the play maker and that Cale. They reviewed the hit after calling a major and reduced it as it’s clear there’s no follow though with his arm and it was a clean shoulder contact. Was late though.. hope the other guy comes back tonight.

The suspension of Makar for a minor late hit is absurd, given the multitude of more severe and malicious acts that occurred during the season, causing serious player injuries and concussions. This highlights how hockey is transforming into WWE on ice, especially when significant monetary rewards are involved, and the 'show' becomes choreographed and scripted entertainment. It is essential for people to acknowledge this reality.

The fact he got hurt is the only reason he got suspended. If he got up and skated back. They wouldn't have even called the 2 min minor
He needs to serve the number of games that McCann is out +1.
Diplo Ducas. More like dip shit dufas.
@@wavehouseboys it always has been. What the fuck are you talking about
We’ll miss him in game 5 but sounds like his legs could use a few more days of rest. I raced bikes for a decade when I was his age and 4-5 days off was sometimes the best thing ever. I over trained for sure… but I’d feel so damn strong after an extended rest. I hope he comes back strong on Friday to help finish the series at home ❤️🍻
Unleash the kracken
I hope he gets severely injured for you guys next year. Something nasty
Everyone here acting like he's the only one to lay a dirty hit. Mccann throws elbows straight into dudes chins. EVERY hockey player at one point has laid a dirty hit. Gtfoh lol
Yet, he doesn't do that when the puck is not even remotely close and certainly those against him expect it. Only a coward does this. If it was another team's player that wasn't a darling it would have been a much stiffer punishment.
All this did was show how soft some fans are. And to actually sit there and believe Makar is a dirty player is easily the most laughable thing ive ever seen. Hes known for being one of the cleanest and chillest players in the league. Get over yourself. Golf and soccer are other sports options if this is too much for your poor souls
A suspention for a minor? Wine is for golf people.
Mcann you tell me what day it is?
Can someone add a poll here? Dirty/not Dirty. Dirty I reckon. Trouba comes to mind for brutally taking helmets off, but not like this
Not dirty
enjoy your sussy, how unfortunate
Dumb ^
That hit was worse then Scheifeles hit last playoffs. Should have been 5, 10 and the game and 3 games minimum. Nhl has refereeing has been terrible
That's a stretch but, ok.
Oof dunbass alert.
Just put flags on them
I'm still shocked he got suspended... It was a mistake
Bush League
Two hand swing your stick at the side of his head to make it even next game
That would warrant a lifetime ban ala Marty McSorley. New NHL Hockey Fans are clueless👍
CheapAF
So dirty. Use to like Cale. Not anymore. Dirty play from what is coming out to be a dirty player. Glad u got ur ring cuz u ain’t gettin another
Him smiling and smirking shows he deserves 3 games plus
How do fans like you even exist? 😂 softer then Charmin. Don't like Cale then he don't know you and is more successful then you'll ever be lol. Dirty player my ass
The suspension of Makar for a minor late hit is absurd, given the multitude of more severe and malicious acts that occurred during the season, causing serious player injuries and concussions. This highlights how hockey is transforming into WWE on ice, especially when significant monetary rewards are involved, and the 'show' becomes choreographed and scripted entertainment. It is essential for people to acknowledge this reality.
You don’t know shit…. You don’t think this was a malicious hit? McCann is injured
What r u smokin. Obviously an avs fan
did you watch the play??? this is not a minor late hit
What's absurd is the suspension is only one game and not 2 or 3! That is not, and should not have been a minor penalty as evidenced by the eventual suspension. How the hell do you get an interference penalty after a play is dead?
Play wasn’t dead with a late whistle. You have to play to the whistle
I don't think is should have been a penalty
By what metric.
I think you should start watching hockey games . It would help you knowing better
@@jeandesaulniers659 I watch lots of hockey and I know what interference is.
Sorry i was speaking to Woody not you@@walktherockies-withzach.3125
if this isn't a penalty then why even have interference as a penalty at all. any other infractions we should remove from the rule book, genius?
Makar barely breathed on McCann. As a player you have to take some responsibility for staying on your feet after post play bumps and brushes. That's a joke that there's a suspension. McCann just fell down like a 6 yr old first-time skater.
You have clearly never been hit in your life if you're not expecting it - which he wasn't because he hasn't has possession for 4 or 5 seconds - it doesn't take nearly the same amount of impact to cause injury than if you are. Deserves a game for sure
@@KyleMacSkill You've never watched NHL hockey then. It's not house league non-contact. After-play bumps and brushes have always been part of the game and you never go limp like a girl waiting to be made love to for the first time. You keep your head up and your balance.
@@brian7333 watch the play again and come back with a real opinion you absolute nunce. Nobody can keep their balance when they aren’t expecting to be hit like that from behind after the play has been dead for a few seconds
@@brian7333 youre something else
@@KyleMacSkill There you go embellishing. It wasn't 4 or 5 seconds. The ref hadn't even blown the whistle yet. Every NHLer is going to follow through on the shooter there - especially not knowing where the puck could be. Watch the replay. It was barely a love tap. McCann took things for granted like a high school daydreamer.
Good hockey hit. Makar is a respectful guy and let up on Mcann
Actually no he drove him hard into the boards when the puck was nowhere in site and injured him.
interference is per definition a penalty. but eggheads don't even know the rules of the sport they're watching, haha.
I liked the hit. These krakhead fans never watched hockey growing up, they don’t really even fight anymore I remember going to avs games when I was little in the 90s and 00s and they’d fight every game
@@drboom. Finishing a check is part of the game.
@@drboom. some people who come into this comment section are neutral fans, who are just curious to see how the league will punish their Boy Scout-looking golden boy. I'm 100% indifferent towards the Kraken. I'm 100% indifferent towards the Avalanche. I've watched hockey since the very early 1990s. That hit was brutal. Puck was on another planet. Makar said post-game he didn't even know where the puck was. There's a penalty in hockey called *INTERFERENCE* meaning you can't interfere (impose bodily contact) on PLAYERS WITHOUT THE FREAKING PUCK. Jesus Christ. Stop being such insufferable homers. It was an incredibly bad and stupid play, and Makar should be happy he's a superstar because if he was a Bunting-calibre player he would have gotten at least 2 games.
McCann can't take a hit and falls down and hurts himself...shouldn't be suspended for that
haha you don't even know the rules of hitting. you're not allowed to hit players without the puck. you didn't even know that, haha.
'I hAve tHE bEst vISion iN the GAMe' - Makar.... also Makar ' I dIdNt know the pUcK wUZ OUT!!!!!'
bUt EberLe’s hIT WuZ oKaY
It takes a real coward to hit someone not even close to the puck when they even expect it. The puck was on the other side. If it was someone else, it would definitely be a more than one game suspension.
It was def a penalty and I’m ok with the suspension but…..just kinda grow up? Like he isn’t a dirty player and it was just a shoulder check. It was just a penalty and again deservedly of a game suspension but don’t overreact. How do u feel about the Eberle hit on cogs?
