You really hate to see this. During last nights Seattle Kraken vs the Colorado Avalanche game, Jared McCann broke out on a break away, got a shot off that deflected over the glass. However, Makar not seeing it had gone over the glass, finished his hit along the boards as McCann went down and stayed down. He went off the ice and would not return, which is a big loss for Seattle. He was a 40 goal scorer for the Kraken this season and has been confirmed to be out for game 5 already with worries that he may be out indefinitely. As for Makar, he got a 5 minute major for interference initially which was reviewed and changed to just a 2 minute minor. He was however set to have a hearing with the NHL and has officially been suspended for 1 game. I cover this as well as how the game played out in todays NHL hockey video!

This is what happens when Refs make poor decision calls or no calls. Clearly late whistle, which prompts Makar to finish him in the boards, which has been getting over looked of late hits or interference calls all playoffs, every game. When this set of playing style is established, its going to get out of hand. Game 2's was their chance to correct their mistakes but nope. Now here we are and players are getting hurt because they're letting late hits, crosschecking and interference calls go unpunished. There definitely needs be a higher standard of officiating.
I agree that there was no whistle, everyone lost the puck. The hit also wasn't even that hard. The only reason people are talking about it is because he got hurt
This reminds me of the hit on Brandon Carlo a few years ago that knocked him out for the playoffs. The one to Carlo was outright dirty so maybe not exactly the sameā¦ but similar contact with the boards. Hope heās ok
'Didn't mean to maliciously hurt him" Are you fucking stupid? What was he doing then? Trying to make him feel better? What a shit take
Thats such an egregiously late hit, any fuck who defends this can eat shit. There is no other reason to hit him here EXCEPT to hurt him. Do i think he meant to hurt him this badly? No, i genuinely don't, but i do think he wanted to bang him up a touch, bruise him, etc.
NHL refereeing really sucks this yearā¦that doesnāt end with just the on ice officialsā¦even the doofuses in the replay centre are pulling some absolute bonehead calls. Nobody seems to know what rules apply when!
Makar was a bully last playoffs too. He needs to learn to control his temper. Glad Seattle won for McCann. And I'm glad Makar is getting a suspension for it, the refs have been terrible in most every series so far.
exactly y i donāt like the Avs. dirty team
That was dirty as fuck, Makar got frustrated and lost his cool, even drove McCann's head into the glass when he shouldn't have been even touched, then to reduce it to a minor….!!!
I'm going to disagree with you. If you see how long Makar has to make the decision not to hit McCann, there was pure deliberate intent to make an unnecessary hit. Players never go in to that thinking 'I'm going to end this man's career', even if they're a goon. But there is always genuine intent to 'send this man a message' or 'shut this guy down'. The whistle happens so close to the hit, there's no way Makar doesn't know McCann is ineligible to be hit cleanly, or that the puck is gone. But for context… Let's say you drink beer. You think you're good, you live a mile away from the bar. You drive home. You hit someone's car… You didn't INTEND to hit that car, but you did anyway. Also means you're responsible for the damages, and the DUI ticket you deserve there.
1 Game is weak sauce.
My reason for this thinking: I play hockey, I play the game at a slower pace sure, not by much, but I can still process the game far ahead of what's happening. These guys are pro's for a reason. They can process these instincts and intentions at the pace they're playing, or they wouldn't be there.
Par for the coarse for a POS franchise like the avalanche. GO WINGS!!!
The refs let this happen by not malking calls all through out the series. FUK THE @NHL REFS
I don't know what kind of player Makar is, but I've seen the AVS overcompensate with heavy hits when they're down in this series. You can clearly see at 1:06 Makar pushes McCann with his glove first (and McCann braces), then Makar disengages as he – I assume – sees the puck leave the ice and then decides to finish the check. That disengagement is telling for me. He went in for an extremely dirty hit and I think that one-game suspension is laughable. I'm all for hard hits, it's a hard game, but this was malicious, even if he's not "usually" like that.
So why didn't the call Dunn for his late hit on Rodriguez? The refs had been letting rough play slide all night. What did they think would happen?
Makar taking right after MacKinnon… Hard to defend that hit as he had already thrown an elbow into McCann's back before lining him up along the boards. Makar no doubt knew the puck was out… MacKinnon effect…
With no whistle itās a hockey play. What do they teach you? Keep your head up. Hockey players are so soft these days. I remember the days when Steve Y won the cup with a broken leg
Before you know it players wonāt wanna be hit because it offends them
Great job by the refs (again)
Makar admitted in his post game interview that he had no idea where the puck was and hit him anyways…
I agree with you clean hit
Keep watching this channel here and there. I have not been following hockey for 5-10years now because the frustration coming from the inconsistency from the referees is just too damn high. I hope one day you'll announce the good news where there's a proper structure and hockey is enjoyable to watch again. Keep up the good work.
Makar looked up and seen it go out of play, decided ha i'm gonna get him when he's not looking, he even slewfoots mccann with his knee and then pushes his head into the glass at the same time, and then looks down at mccann like "if you get up i'm gonna slug you" as he cockily skates away… should be a suspension for rest of the series at a minimum.
NHL Fans will go Ballastic if they feel that is solid body check" its Post season Hockey this happens all the time at the most it could have 2 minutes?( the nhl over reach is extremely Nauseting?)
A 1 game suspension is a slap in the face to the Kraken. He should be gone for 2-3 games. This league is absolute trash.
Bunting got 3 games, and this get's a single game? Does Makar have a history? The guy didn't have the puck slowed down looking the other way, and this man leans on him and punches him on the way down. Man player safety must have the strangest wheel they spin to hand out games.
I hope he doesn't make it back, as the Avs need all the help they can get, Seattle has clearly outplayed the Avs in every game. Yes, Makar was suspended for one game, but he hasn't done anything in this series anyways, so I don't think we'll miss him. #GoAvsGo
Pencil boy will get whats coming to him for the cheap ass hit.
Makar, the new Kadri for the Avs.
Like The Avs coach said, we have a player in this series , injured and not playing over a dirty hit. Do you hear them crying about. Good for you Makar you been dealing with cheap shots for the last 2 years.
I'm a Sabres Fan so I absolutely despise the Kraken. But get Makar off the ice
