On the play in question I find it quite frustrating because the right call was made. McDavid ended up plowing the goalie because the defenseman tripped him, trying to do his job, preventing him from blitzing the net in the first place. There is really nothing within the rules to prevent someone from getting hurt in that situation. It would be fine if McDavid was endangering just his own health, but Markstrom could have been seriously hurt as a result of his insistence on driving the net like he does.
