I think TvR tries to go for an accidental / on-purpose pick and Newhook plays it up to get the call. You can see TvR push out twice into the middle of the ice to get in Newhook's way. I guess it could be tripping + embelishment.
Newhook's leg is stretched out, but it's extended in a natural skating posture. I can understand your argument if you're advocating for no call here, but I don't think Newhook does anything wrong.

TvR definitely was responsible. He wasn't "entitled" to get in the way of Newhook, he moved into Newhook's path deliberately.
