REPORT: Cale Makar discusses CANCELLING the penalty last night - Would NOT do it again
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.

After the game, the media got ahold of him and asked him about the play, which he said:
«Saved the ref from some media attention tonight, that's for sure»
- Cale Makar on «declining» a penalty in the first period. Said he felt it was the right thing to do in the moment, said he thought it was a pretty easy non-call. #Avs pic.twitter.com/Gjf9Y0JUBB— Jesse Montano (@jessemontano_) December 20, 2022
