Last night, Trevor Zegras and Connor Bedard showcased the 'lacrosse move' on the Michigan goal, drawing attention league-wide, including praise from Wayne Gretzky.
Gretzky commented during the Blues' broadcast, saying,
"I couldn't do what he did. It wasn't in my repertoire."
Bedard's goal not only gained recognition from NHL legends but also sparked a call for its ban, notably from former NHL enforcers.
They will ban the Michigan in the next 2 years.
However, some argue that unless there's a high stick involved, there's no valid reason to ban the 'Michigan.' As discussions unfold about the move's future, Gary Bettman and the NHL face a decision that could impact their media attention, with opinions divided on whether to embrace or restrict the captivating move.
