John Tavares injury

[57special]

Stupid fight, obviously Perry had no intent and probably feels awful. Trash response from the Leafs.

Sorry, but we in the West have seen Perry's act for way too long for us to be anything but suspicious about any incident involving him. He is a dirty player.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

That was truly terrifying. All the best to Tavares.

 

[Alex Jones]

Pretty sure Tavaras was knocked out. First response when coming to is to get back up - it's a survival thing. Trainer can't stop that.

Again, f***in experts in this thread

This is why you see trainers hold down a fighter that gets knocked out really hard.

 

[winnipegger]

He gave the thumbs up. This is good. You see people get knocked out like this in MMA. He likely is out for 6 + months. Hope it's not too bad man. Made me sick.

 

[heretik27]

Horrifying to see, I hope he comes out okay.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

That medic f***ed up big. What an idiot.

 

[shao01]

anyone who actually thinks Perry tried to hurt Tavares is either a homer, a dumbass or both

It's the trainers job to make sure he doesn't move.

 

[Rockomax]

I'm legit scared for the person. I hope he's ok by some miracle

 

[Transplanted Caper]

It's cool to just say I hope he's okay, btw. No one will take away your fan card if you don't preface it with the fact you're usually not a fan but you hope he doesn't have a effing skull fracture.

 

[Islander Class]

Scary play and aftermath. Wishing JT all the best.

"We in the west?" I'm a Canucks fan lmao.

it was a trash and baby response from the leafs.

 

[Kreator]

No Perry fan, but less than ZERO intent.....Leafs are effn trash

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Again, Foligno doesn't have the multiple angles and replays we do. He seen it in real time, and was also on the ice at the time.

It happens.

I'm sure he didn't look up at a single replay they were showing the whole time it took Tavares to get loaded up.

 

[Kelly]

I feel awful for his family.

Imagine his wife watching that in her living room?

f***.

Perry is a player who doesn't have to "intend" to hurt other players to hurt other players.

It's insane that people think the trainer was lifting Tavares up by his damn throat.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Any video of the fight?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

stop with this narrative. The islanders are currently playing a playoff game. Go check our GDT. As soon as it was posted you will see the majority of isles fans and posters hoping he’s ok.

So about wishing harm on him signing here years ago...now it's okay because he looked like he was dead and you guys wish him the best?

Perry's collision with Tavares was unintentional.

Unfortunately, Perry's reputation is that of a dirty player who runs into goalies accidentally on purpose etc., and in the heat of the moment it's natural to jump to conclusions.

Here it was a clean play by a dirty player. If it had been Nazem Kadri, he would have drawn the same reaction from anyone who didn't see the whole play.

It was also obvious that Perry immediately reacted with concern and compassion.

 

[Jauffre]

Damn watching that makes me sick, that was awful. Felt like watching someone die, I'm shook.

 

[pidgeonwatcher]

Hope that trainer never touches a player again, jesus what a terrible rookie error that could have made things sooo much worse

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Any video of the fight?

YouTube has it but it was a meh fight

Hopefully Tavares recovers quickly

 

[Byron Bitz]

Has the betting line on the series moved after the Tavares injury?

 

[Kelly]

I'm sure he didn't look up at a single replay they were showing the whole time it took Tavares to get loaded up.

I mean, he may not have?

If he did, the replay may have been slowed down like the majority are.

Weird attempt at a rebuttal. I'm not wrong, players aren't jumping over themselves to watch a replay of their captain who is currently unconscious on the ice.

Again, you're being overly dramatic over a fight. There are more important things to be concerned over.

Its annoying listening to all the internet doctors here. You dont think the leafs will have an actual team of experts review the medical teams response? None of us were there. Leave it at that.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I'm sure he didn't look up at a single replay they were showing the whole time it took Tavares to get loaded up.

He probably didn't, why the hell would he want to rewatch his teammate getting seriously injured?
