Adam Johnson a former Pittsburgh prospect took a skate to the throat during this game. Seeing unconfirmed rumbles on Facebook and X that he died. There's video out there of the incident but I don't want to post it out of respect, I'm sure one can find it readily on their own.

Absolutely horrible if it's true, and also completely infuriating. There have been multiple incidents in the NHL of people getting cut but nobody has died yet, and that alone has made it clear that they would not be made mandatory until that happened. Yet it was always in the back of everyone's minds that at some point somebody would get their throat slashed and not survive. Its horrific and preventable and it's disgusting it was ever allowed to get to this point.

I just hope for him and his friends/family/teammates that he makes it. Good lord what a nightmare.

Imagine being the guy who slashed him in the throat. Not sure I could keep playing after that. Awful

RIP
That poor guy. I hope he stays off the internet and seeing what some people are saying. No amount of frame by frame interpretation is going to bring Adam Johnson back. Some things are best left unsaid and I hope Matt Petgrave is given the support he needs to heal as a person.

I don't usually advocate for violence, but man if I don't feel an urge to batter the faces of anyone claiming any part of that was intentional. Those people are VILE and it repulses me to share a species with them.
 
The TNT broadcast just said the Oilers' bottom 6 does not have a single point all season. Janmark, Holloway, McLeod, Ryan, Erne, and Brown have a combined 0 points in 40 games.
Missed on air comment… only 7-8 games this season… did they include last year?

Connor Brown can’t be there much longer. Might end up being a giant nothingburger, but this is game 8 for him, if he plays 2 more, he somehow accrues a $3.25M signing bonus that’s really gonna hamstring their ability to do anything next offseason.

The Chiarelli/Holland tandem of incompetence will be talked about for generations
 
Don't really like to kick players while they're down but Huberdeau at 10.4m could really turn into a horrendous deal. Like up there for "worst contracts in NHL history" bad

Tkachuck and Gaudreau had treiliving over a proverbial barrel. And the result of that was huberdeaus contract. Thank god they got weegar with it. But it seems like Huberdeau is never sniffing 10 mil value on the ice. Guess that is good for us in Anaheim. Nothing like a darnell nurse like contract for calgary

Crazy thing is that it might not even be the worst contract Calgary has. 7m a year for an average 2c like Kadri is bonkers.

Hilarious Calgary were duped by two players having massive career outlier years and rewarded them with huge contracts taking them through their age 37 seasons and basically making the franchise irrelevant until the 2030's.
