In breaking news, MacKinnon was ejected during the Avalanche game today for giving the ref an earful after a missed call.
MacKinnon Furious About Missed Call on Makar Hit
During the Avalanche game this afternoon, Cale Makar took an awkward hit from Okposo that resulted in him slamming into the boards. The hit went unpenalized, and Nathan MacKinnon did not like that. In response, he gave the refs a piece of his mind, resulting in a ten-minute misconduct.
Makar is in the #Avs locker room, and MacKinnon gives the officials and earful after no penalty on the Okposo hit.
That earns him a two minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a ten minute misconduct.
There has not yet been an update on the injury status for Makar. The awkward nature of the hit would leave it to be speculated that the injury is to the lower body.
