John Tavares injury

[Shesty31]

Just a terrible freak accident. Jesus. Praying for Tavares.

 

[supsens]

You kidding me? There's no way he could ever expect Tavares' face to suddenly be right in front of his knee.

He didn’t care, you see his stick way up in the air to sell “I am doing something else” yet he watched JT the entire time and made zero effort to move over. Nick knew and punched his face for it.

I f***ing hate Perry but anyone thinking this was intentional needs to re-watch the video and give their heads a shake. Perry was evidently not trying to make contact with Tavares there. Complete freak accident, and I'm sure Perry feels like shit for what happened. Nobody to blame.

Really hope he's okay, looked scary.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Hard to believe anyone thinks that was intentional.

Hope Tavares makes a full recovery, that looked rough.

 

[NikoEhlers]

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

Its suspended while game is on, on most bookies

 

[WingsMJN2965]

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.

Hmm. So when you suggest didn't see a replay it's fact, but when I suggest he did, it's speculation and a, "Weird rebuttal".

Also yes, you get to see bench shots of teammates looking up at the replay all the time when their teammate is down.

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?

A few dumb posters. Every fan base has time. The majority of fans don’t wish harm on athletes. That’s just idiotic.

Just wtf. He was "doing something else" because Tavares wasn't there in front of him until he went down and a fraction of a second later his knee hit him. Perry might be a rat and a complete jerk but he's not THAT good at it.

Alright, whatever. Poor Perry. He's the real victim here.

God, some f***ing people.

Ah but he sure made zero effort to not make contact..

Everyone tagging on the trainer need to just shut up. He’s holding c-spine, on a guy who’s dazed and doesn’t want to lay down.

The guy did an excellent job with the circumstances. He’s not dragging him by the throat, he isn’t making him get up, exactly the opposite actually.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

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

Ideally, yes but things don't always work the 'right' way or by the book. Pretty sure that's one of the first things you learn in emergency situation training.

 

[MattMartin]

Warning, not for the faint of heart...

 

[Wretched Oil]

Am I the only one who things the first guy on the scene failed terribly in providing first aid? Jesus

No you’re not, but all of you are wrong.

 

[CDJ]

I do not like the way he went out the 2nd time, horrifying. I hope he’ll be ok

oh shut the f*** up.

get better JT. That’s horrible

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Would you have preferred him to levitate?

No other posts have mentioned it.

I think what stuns me most is people are surprised that Foligno fought Perry after watching his captain get stretchered off...

ANY of the 31 teams in the NHL watches their captain get stretchered off accident or not...someone is dropping the gloves. It doesn't matter.

(it was 100% an accident by Perry.)

 

[HockeyMomx2]

K wtf is the trainer doing getting him up like that letting him fall backwards. What if his neck was injured.... Hope he was able to breathe okay, always worry when stuff impacts near the throat like that. Thats f***ed up.

Seeing it in real.time, I thought Perry's skate got his face. If.it were me, I probably would've done the same, thinking he's gushing and need to stop it. I dunno. Just a thought...

 

[ujju2]

Looked to me like he tried to jump out of the way. Didn't have time to stop or turn.

 

[sabremike]

People here at the Coliseum who have seen the video were horrified and wishing him well. That's how ugly it was.

 

[Il Stugotz]

God that’s horrible. The only thing I can say is that as a Hawks fan, I’ve seen Brent Seabrook get knocked completely out twice and both times he was back within a week. Sometimes it looks way worse than it is.

 

[dss97]

What a stupid thing to say.

Omg some are you are overly sensitive.

All I’m saying is Foligno didn’t like it and he was talking to the ref and Perry immediately . It’s a fast game but you got to watch where you’re going on the ice. It’s why they fought..
