And if he didn’t have the cheater, MacKinnon would’ve broken his wrist.
Seriously, go put a glove and chest pad on and see where the disconnect occurs at the wrist. See how little protection is there.
Look at what happens when you get into position - crouched and ready - see if any holes on the protection open up.
If the forwards wanna go back to using 5 lb pieces of firewood, then the goalies can consider shrinking the cheater.
But I’m not in favour of unilateral disarmament.
