ALL I ask is that the neck is okay and not impacted. The hit is a bug concussion but I hope the neck is fine.

I'd entertain dressing Sabourin for next game.

Aren't both owned by Quebecor... classless indeed. We hate this journal in Quebec but the regions only read thatI do think the Sun has the best sports coverage and usually their front page quips are extremely well done. But this...this is just tasteless. Come on folks. No one wants to see it, and surely no one would want this as a collector's item. Poor taste.
If we didn't fight Perry the game would have devolved into a bunch of cheap shots.
If we didn't fight Perry, what message does that send to JT?
If we didn't fight Perry, what message does that send to the Habs, and all our other potential opponents?
It may have been accidental...
Nonetheless,
Foligno did what had to be done

I do not believe Perry intended to 'hurt' JT, but, i'm sorry, and i may be in the minority here, but, i believe Perry could have avoided contact, or at the very least, not hit JT in the head.
I've been on skates for over 50 years, and at top speed, and on an instant, i have always had full control of my body.
the only time there is 'unavoidable' contact is when someone turns into you, or you are looking elsewhere.
Tavares fell in front of Perry.
Perry was facing the direction of play (i.e. looking towards JT)
while JT was falling to the ice, there is a huge amount of space around him (watchj the video in slow motion and you will see how far away Perry actually was)
when JT was on his backside Perry was still 2-3 strides away and moving towards JT and at that point seeing JT falling in front of him could have changed his lane and veered to the right
as JT fell further back, Perry continued in the closest possible lane near JT, and at that point it became 'unavoidable' contact
I'm sure he never expected what happened, but, to say he couldnt avoid it is not the truth.
...the replays clearly show Perry looking right at JT's face, so, he knew exactly where he was, and going, and did he pivot, or try to turn, or try to stop, not at all, he tried to go over his head.

That Sun front page is so tasteless they should probably apologize and offer a retraction. Making a pun like that when we don't even know if he's going to be okay is terrible

Yet players will get criticized for refusing to answer (see Matthews/Simmons). It's exactly what the team should do. Refuse to answer questions from anyone associated with those rags.

Yeah thoughts are with Tavares today. Really just hoping for some good news. There’s definitely an element of real life that’s stepped in and ruined the whole hockey aspect for me.
Re: I don’t want to beat on the subject too much in the JT thread but it is a shorthand for team togetherness and care. It’s a lot better than a Hyman coming back from injury and then being dumped by Petry and nobody bothered to hand out a face wash in his honour.

neck heals faster than the brain ...and is far less serious. brain damage is life altering.

its also good to understand that a mild hook near the hands will get called, but, an after the whistle, massive rib shot x-check wont.
It was the right thing and expected by Perry
He added: "I felt sick to my stomach when I saw it. It was a scary situation. I'll reach out to him and talk to him and hope he's OK. [Maple Leafs forward Nick Foligno] came up to me and said, 'Let's just settle this now, let's not wait.' You've got to do what you've got to do.’"
Perry and Foligno fought as soon as play resumed.

If the leafs are only a bubble team without Tavares, then they were never going to win the cup anyways. Cup champs are deep, and dig deep. Look at lightning with no Stakmos last year

I mean he was out cold... Hard to imagine a scenario where he didn't get a concussion.
Here are the names of the ghouls who make the decisions on the front page for both papers:
Toronto Sun
Andrienne Bata, editor-in-chief
Kevin Hann, deputy editor
Journal de Montréal
Dany Doucet, editor.
The Leafs should pull press access for both papers for as long as they are at their current jobs. Sucks for those Sun reporters who are actually decent (not Simmons) but if you want to be considered a journalistic outlet, you have to act with some degree of journalistic standards. And these three are clearly incapable of doing so.
So other than the confirmation during the second period last night that he was transferred to the hospital, there have been no updates since - is that correct?
Seriously , it might be the most devastating blow to the head I have ever seen an athlete take. You have to consider the speed at which Perry was skating, how hard knee pads are and the fact that he basically threw a flying knee.
Agreed but one can hope. The blow was to the face and not the head directly so there is a chance it was a hit on the button that knocked him out as opposed to the brain getting bounced around.
Fingers crossed

Guys...I can’t lie, I was so ready to enjoy your team losing badly in this first round.
But I got sick to my stomach seeing JT go down like that.
Just sucked the entertainment right out of the game for me(and whole playoffs for the night. Turned hockey off when JT left the ice).
I hope he is ok and I’m having a real battle in my brain about whether I should be cheering for your team now for the first time in 30 years.
Fingers crossed JT gets back to 100% sooner than later.
Peace hockey brothers.

In this video we'll review the injury footage and give a medical breakdown on what happened, what the medical team was doing on the ice, and the anatomy of this type of injury.

Man that made me sick to my stomach. You know tavares is tough as hell when he tried to get up by himself. Guy is a dam machine! I really hope he makes quick recovery and gets back his health. Playin this playoffs would be bonus but just hoping he recovers well and is with his family. Love this sport but man those incidents like that make me sick to my stomach... Felt really bad about Perry too, you could see he felt so bad
