This might add more “venom, mockery and bile” when he eventually returns to Winnipeg. The fans won’t forget and this will probably add gas to their fire.

I'm actually surprised it took this long for an NHL team to protect their guy from a "Brady Tkachuk Night in Ottawa" level of venom, mockery and bile upon his return to a former city, given how they typically insulate their players from fans and media.
@DynoDangle Winnipeg fans don’t care about the devils marginal edge in expected win percentage.
Hellebuyck didn’t care about theirs when he decided to leave.
@JLazzy23 Whoever thinks a 50/50 call is about how the rule is written.
In the past three seasons there have been zero games where the total expected goals was as high as last night and one team had no penalties.
And this is the problem with opinions from people who didn’t watch. You’re debating a borderline penalty without knowing how the game was called.
Stanley’s was a penalty. Palats? Holmstroms? NJD’s free timeout before the 5on3? The phantom whistle with the Isles pressing?

This is exactly the problem with slo mo clips and screenshots.
You can freeze a play at any moment and dissect it to support whichever narrative you want.
I don’t think it was a penalty, so here’s my narrative.
Look at what happens before Luke even takes a swipe, Schaefer is already using his right hip to shield the puck and prevent Luke from getting to it. Schaefer’s hip then pulls back because he’s changed his positioning on his own. That movement happens independently of Luke’s swipe.

A Stanley cup final between two teams going all in with one last shot before their window comes crashing down.
