Newly appointed fentanyl czar
"Rag it" is Swedish for "those idiots are doing a line change while we rush the puck down to their zone"
Likewise, Sedin is Swedish for "'punch me or headlock me in a scrum"

The only reason I think someone may have been shouting "rag it" is because immediately afterward someone clearly shouts "rag! rag! rag!" at about 0:06 here:
If it's the other thing, suspend him, but I'm not sold on it yet.
I mean, precedence has been a fine but the past couple years the Leafs have been used to break precedence a shit ton of times (Kadri's suspension in the playoffs, Matthews' contract, etc) so I'd bet my money on the league using this chance to give him a game or two.Probably more likely to be just a fine, no?
I couldn't think of a joke using "rag" that seemed appropriate and OK. I'm a little disappointed in myself.
This is exactly what happened. The second Sparks hesitated I said aloud "you're gonna regret not getting that one".I'm not going to defend the line change but maybe help to explain it. I guess that's the best way to put it? Anyway, what I think may have happened is that they may have (mis)judged that Sparks could (and would) get to it, leaving him and Rielly with possession and 2 on 1 with Gourde back there. Still a bad change and as I said probably bad judgment if that's what it was because I thought it was 50-50 at absolute best if Sparks went for it (and probably more like 35-65).

I tend to agree, and if the League does not, I am thinking the team will sit him a game.
At another hockey board I frequent, I was surprised how many hockey fans didn't know what "rag it" or "ragging the puck" means - it's been around for some time (very popular during the 70's and 80's). Definitely not heard as much these days, though.
As much as it pains me to have to do it, I'm going to go ahead and give the NHL credit for this one.

Nothing was done wrong in the game, but they knew people were asking about it, they did a thorough, prompt investigation, made the findings public, and re-iterated the importance of the topic. Well done.

You pucking rag it.
I've played for 35+ years at relatively high levels and I've honestly never heard it. Or if I did it didn't register. I don't know what it means or why, even now.
