At some point it needs to be discussed that Cale Makar's underlying numbers haven't matched his reputation or point production for a good while now.

I think I've figured this out, with the help of observant fans in the replies. The answer - mostly - comes down to MacKinnon's habit of going off for a change on the fly and leaving Makar on the ice in a disadvantageous position.

For baseball nerds like me, this is the problem I have with the ABS system coming to MLB. It was a strike when it crossed the plate. And was correctly called. But by time catcher caught it, looked low. ABS challenge system will call it a ball. I say let the umps call it. FWIW.
