Wandell kunde spela vidare så det lär ju inte ha tagit jätteilla iaf. Blir ju olyckligt i den här typen av situationer där Tolle tar sats för att kunna sätta en klockren open ice och i samma ögonblick som han ska dela ut proppen så sträcker sig Wandell fram för att ta ett avslut, vilket i sin tur resulterar i att han blir låg och Tolle har ingen möjlighet att avbryta satsningen. Olyckligt.
it literally means to distribute the plug (fuse) but that doesn't make any sense.

go for it
This seems to be a specific ice-hockey fighting term, usually used in the plural in Swedish (dela ut proppar). Proppar are basically punches, and this Wikipedia page suggests the term used in English is 'going for it': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_in_ice_hockey

: No ice-hockey expert, but I thought it meant (body) checking an opponent???

The Swe reference show an interview sprinkled with 'proppar' (you have to wait for it), which to me refers to scoring goals. Search 'proppen' + hockey for more examples.
