Seeing a 200lb body flying towards you at 57kph must have an effect on a goalie. No way Markstrom isn't at least a little concerned about McDavid running in to him by accident. More so now that it actually has happened.
But how do you stop that within the rules? These kinds of plays were a concern when they removed the 2 line pass rule. Too much speed.
Back in the day, he'd be flattened a few times and would probably learn. Now you can't touch a guy without everyone screaming about predatory hits.
