That's super gross
A lot of former players have said it looks intentional... plus there is video of this guy doing basically the same thing in an OHL game just his leg doesn't get that high. It's fair to ask if the guy was reckless.

Then express that opinion without giving cred to a racist account

Here’s the thing…After the Whistle and people on Twitter aren’t going to solve the potential criminal element of what happened. There are authorities for that. Posting the video at all is in incredibly poor taste because you force people to watch a man get killed without their having a say. Retweeting that account adds in the obvious malicious intent towards the race of the other player. They know exactly what they’re doing putting that into people’s feeds. and they can go on their show and claim that saying it’s in poor taste is bullshit all they want to…it’s absolute horse shit. Would they want that video up if it happens to their son?

Either way…you now know without a shadow of a doubt what kind of people you’re dealing with at After the Whistle. You know where they get their information from…and what they’re happy to propagate. It’s up to you whether or not you wish to support it. I had already auto deleted any episode Roenick was on after he peddled vaccine conspiracies around Damar Hamlin. Should have just blocked the show for giving him that platform. Learned my lesson the hard way but I’m fully out now.

Just saw the play on my twitter feed. Looked like a Sean Michaels superkick

Not only does the player who did that need to be banned for life, fold the team as well. Must hold the team responsible for the actions of a player

Finally listened to the Rivet/Hamilton convo. I thought Rivet made more sense. It’s reasonable to trade out players from the core, but it is silly to not recognize this goes deeper than the current group, just as it went deeper with Eichel and Reinhart.

My biggest beef is with Hamilton’s licking of Ruff’s boots. I don’t think Ruff is to blame for this, but the team is not playing better under Ruff. Granato was dumped after producing better results with arguably less (and certainly not more). I actually think this was one of the benefits of bringing back Ruff, from an Adams/Pegula perspective. Ruff’s history with the local fanbase and media is serving as a bit of a shield.

Ruff was a marketing hire. Granato took the bullet for Adams and Lindy was was the new poster on the billboard. Not having him bring in his own people convinced me of this. NJ is paying most of his salary. I believe from senior management’s perspective, i.e. Terry, things are going splendidly.

I don't buy this for one second... Granato was a horrible coach and needed to go. Maybe Ruff was just a PR move but he is 100 times the coach than Granato and is not the issue now. Adams made the team worse by trading their only established true top 6 Center for another puck moving left handed D. The roster has so many flaws from our center spine to the make up of our top four D in style and handedness...and not to mention Adams goalie situation screw ups ..again.

Add to that a garbage coaching staff where they promoted Appert who seems to have no idea how to run a PP and left Wilford in charge of our defense where there are problems too. Ruff may not have been the absolute best candidate but I think he was one of the best and he is getting almost everything he can out of this team.

The PP structure is fine, I actually like the wrinkles of trying to work around the goal line more. The biggest problem and it really has been for the last 14 seasons, they can't f***ing pass. The professional hockey players cannot pass or receive a clean pass. The PP goes one of two ways, the move the puck well and get good looks OR there is one bad pass/pass reception and it is total scramble mode to get the puck back or to the guy not being pressured, which they suck at because they put their backs to the play and blindly rim the puck to the next guy who is doing the same thing and then it's cleared

THIS!! ^^^

I'd maybe change it to read "they can't pass nearly as well as THEY THINK THEY CAN!"

Sabres players are masters that making blind behind the back passes ... to the other team.
