I’m not at all surprised by the non-stoppage. Gotta let the team who has control play on. Im certain they would have stopped play had the possession changed. Not really sure what commentary is talking about, this shit happens all the time in the NHL. Good call IMO.
The key here… Distress is not an owie… distress is… could his life be in danger (like if he took the shot to the head)… he took it off the knee… waiting for a spell is not going to cause further damage or put his life at risk.. you play on.. if he blocked it with his head.. kill it… if they let every little owie kill a play.. they’d be killing a lot of faking.
You blow the whistle for someone who could potentially need urgent/ life saving care. That puck could have shattered his knee, the extra 10-20 seconds isn’t going to make any difference.

More saves than D'accord
Impressive how Dahlin destoyed number 58 tho haha
They would of called it dead if it was a bead injury but not something like this
Rough time to be left on the ice out there, hope Oleksiak recovers well.
no we arent stopping the play for "distress" cause everyone would just pretend when they want a break or at a disadvantage.
Jeff Skinner hat-trick!!!

No, no, no. I'm not blowin it for a puck to the knee. He's in tremendous PAIN, not distress.

Remember when he blocked tom wilsons fist with his face
"he never moves for 15 seconds." Blatant lie.
