Not Yamamoto playing the broken stick to try to block a lane, should have been called still

A summary of Matthew's season:
Never, ever, hesitated when it came to defending his teammates, both on ice and during interviews. The only time he asked to be supported (after a player from another team threw a puck at him at the end of game, AND NO ONE HAD DEFENDED HIM), some of his teammates said he should “tone down” how he plays, and since then it’s clear he’s lost a little bit of confidence, and it has affected his performance. The new coach said he would no longer be able to speak to his own BROTHER, before/during games. A lot of people on social media saying that he should die, or suffer a serious injury, and his mom has already confessed that she reads these messages and how it breaks her heart. And now two of his best friends on the team (and most likely one of the few who stood by him when there was a locker room split) get traded.
Seriously, please give this man a break. And a hug too.
