Thanks for the video. The reason there is no trip here is because the poke is on the outside of their leg. In your clip, the poke is made and the carrier then skates through the stick. The next time you take a tripping call, check the replay and you'll see what I mean. It's easier to see than explain. The stick needs to hit the skate on the outgoing poke without it missing and ending up on the outside of the leg.

Does the fact that the puck carrier is McDavid play any role here? Like an X-Factor or high attribute rating that would contribute to not being tripped here?
Because this is pretty wild to see not be a tripping call:

I understand that, but since the leg wasn't hit with the outgoing poke, a trip isn't called. The stick is fully extended by the time the leg is hit so it's not considered part of the outgoing poke.

This is insane. And if it's allowed because "it wouldn't affect the play" doesn't that eliminate any negative consequences of making the poor decision of attempting it in the first place? - bruanor093 years agoSeasoned Veteran

There are times the stick will pass through bodies and objects, but it can't affect the puck. In this case, it was the contact between the 2 players that dislodged the puck.
