Sportsmanship, Business, and Entertainment
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar is one of the best defensemen in the NHL. It remains open to debate whether he will be allowed to be a sportsman.
During the Avalanche's 1-0 win over the New York Islanders on Monday night, Makar appeared to be tripped as he was skating with the puck out of his own zone. His fall brought an immediate penalty call from the backside referee who naturally assumed he had been tripped by Islanders forward Mathew Barzal.
Makar immediately objected, telling the official that Barzal did not trip him, that he had fallen on his own.
The referees huddled, and then decided that there would be no penalty called on the play.
A sportsman, right?
But, Makar essentially negated a two-minute penalty advantage for his team. And he said after the fact that he felt guilty doing it because he was afraid he was going to let his teammates down while adding “I don’t know if it’s something I’ll do again.”

Sportsmanship has its downside.
More, officials do not like getting shown up by players, and players that have a tendency to dive or embellish do not always get the benefit of the doubt on calls. Lord knows what will happen if the players start taking the higher road with them.
I wouldn't look for another outbreak of sportsmanship to strike again soon.
