REPORT: Cale Makar discusses CANCELLING the penalty last night

Last night we saw Stanley Cup Champion Cale Makar get taken down as he skated behind the net by Mat Barzal, which the arm of the referee immediately goes up to call a penalty, but Makar instead told the referee's it was not a penalty and declined it.
