I can agree with a no-call here.
I am hopefully getting the T for taunting. Maybe even two T's as it looks like White 0 also comes over and rubs it in.

This defender had LGP long before the collision....several steps worth. His problem what that he, from an LGP, slid over after the shooter went airborne making it a block. This would be a block in any year's version of the rules. Had he not moved and still got hit, it would have been a PC.
