The Assassination of Cale Makar by the Coward Kyle Okposo

[Ace]

One of those moments where you won’t forget where you were. If the NHL cared about player safety they would outlaw the gently placed glove.

Thoughts and prayers.


(Glad Makar is actually ok.)

Props for the thread title!

41 game suspension incoming for our captain. Olofsson back in the lineup.

Maybe they could convience the Shannhan department that KO was possed by VO

 

[Matt Ress]

Title may have come straight from the AVs GDT

 

[Beerz]

Bettman has just announced all teams will be wearing "CM" patch on their jerseys for the rest of the season

 

[Fjordy]

Just bad timing, didn't see any malice from Okposo or cross-checking. Makar health.

 

[Uberpecker]

What does this thread have that Makar doesn't? Iron knee.

Settle down, I'll see myself out.

 

[paulmm3]

Not much to that at all

The Avs broadcast crew repeatedly stated "cross-check square in the numbers". It continued during the 2nd intermission with JM Liles concurring, while sipping orange juice in his wine cellar.

I guess you see what you want to see when your all-world defenseman goes awkwardly into the boards.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Avs fans, their media, and some national guys - Frank Seravalli in particular are absolutely embarrassing themselves over this

 

[newfiejesus]

Living their truth, as it were.

KO sleeps with a pillow under his gun

KO won the world series of poker with uno cards

 

[Mattilaus]

I hear KO slept with all the Avs' player's moms and then didn't call them the next day.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

In all seriousness, Makar slows down right in front of him. f*** off, KO don’t move that quick no more.

 

[Tsujimoto]

Do you see how Makar's head goes back and to the left before he hits the boards? I believe there was a second crosschecker, on the grassy knoll behind the Zamboni entrance.

It was definitely a controlled demolition

Well-played @Tsujimoto

Cale Makar on the play:
"I think a lot of it’s on me, just going back slow, no effort. ... I tried to take a stride in front and I don’t know if I caught myself or what happened but the next thing I knew I was just sliding into the boards."

I was thinking similar. One thought I had was that Makar sure was lazy on the play.

 

[Washed Up 29YearOld]

I was only a few feet away in 3rd row when this happened. It happened fast but watching so close it was pretty clear that Okposo didn’t plan to launch him like that. Accident

I never bought into the magic check from behind theory pushed by the mainstream hockey media. Okposo is only a patsy. Wake up sheeple.

The only thing funnier than all the Avs fans on Twitter still carrying on about this…is the slew of them who think their team of tough guys will take care of this when they play again. The team whose immediate response was to have MacKinnon cry his way to 12 minutes in penalties.
