I thought Toews explained it well. It’s a dangerous play in a dangerous spot, I don’t think it was malicious by any means but it’s a type of play you hate to see. Thankfully Makar appears to be fine, but that could and has ended a lot worse.
Even as an Oiler fan I don't think there should be some standard that involves "protecting the stars" like they are untouchable.
It's very much a play where imo it shows why it helps to have a physical element to your team. There's a legal hit or nudge but you don't like it. So, drag the game into the sewer and goon it up. Fans on HF find it obnoxious unless it's their team.
