NHL fans were furious Cale Makar was called for a minor after a brutal Jared McCann cheap shot

NHL fans think Makar deserves a suspension for this.

Could Colorado Avalanche star Cale Makar get a suspension for a late hit on Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann on Monday?

It’s theoretically possible. As you’ll see in the video below, the hit is for sure dirty. After McCann missed on a breakaway and the puck goes out of play, Makar nails McCann into the boards.

But the penalty was initially deemed a major and then changed to a minor after review. Why? It’s hard to tell. McCann skated off the ice, hurt, and Makar was allowed to play in what ended up as a Kraken win in overtime.

And fans were furious.

Something to think about: Makar doesn’t have a history of dirty play. He’s actually known for being pretty classy.
