Having a bunch of players kicking at the puck in the crease sure sounds safe.

Players are kicking at the puck in the crease anyway. Trying to kick it to their stick, trying to kick it away. Meh. No one's getting hurt.

And just like that the game is tied. What a play by MacKinnon, wow.

Moving your foot forward and having the puck bounce off it, is a whole lot different than kicking at the puck. It's not like his foot was moving right to left. Nor was his foot pointing directly toward the puck in a kicking motion.

Where I work, there is a ping pong table in the lunch-room. His action looked to me like he was attempting to corral the puck (or a ping pong ball,) not like he was kicking it.

It’s like you’ve never played soccer before. That was embarrassing by the NHL.

I've played soccer for 20+ years and on some high level as well. That was not a kick. That looked like somebody trying to stop a ball who has just started playing soccer. If THIS is how you kick a ball then I question if YOU ever played soccer.
