Player Prompt

As the entire situation plays out, Kevens instantly remembers the exact same thing occurring to him in his days playing youth hockey. Back then he just sat bewildered at the call and didn't know how to vouch for his innocence. This time, however, Kevens has learned from his prior mistake of not speaking up. As soon as the whistle blows, he makes sure to skate right over to the ref to clarify things. Of course this has to be done tactfully because refs won't often listen to blind rage coming from players. The simple request would be for the ref to go and investigate the patch of ice that the opposing player tripped on nearby. Professional players don't usually just fall over for no reason so there's a good chance a chip in the ice actually exists and can prove that the tripping call shouldn't be sustained. If there doesn't end up being anything suspicious about the ice then at least the video replay will show the truth even if the ref doesn't get the chance to look at it.
