John Tavares injury

[Grifter3511]

Watch it real time from the second camera Perry’s view. He had time to flinch or lean or move he chose his path if it went through JT that was just a free bonus

Flinching and moving out of the path of a player immediately in front of you are oceans apart.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Really hope he’s okay. Oh my God that was terrible.

And for the couple of you bozos bitching about Perry—I hate Perry more than I hate Satan (the actual devil. Not the one that played for them) and Perry did nothing malicious there.

I'd love to be enlightened

Heres Perry “accidentally” kneeing Stalock in the head, look familiar?:



Here’s another Perry kneeing “accident” for you:



here’s Perry “accidentally” elbowing someone in the face:




That took me 5 mins of googling and doesn’t even include his time in Anaheim, give me another 10 and I’ll get you 6 more videos.

Perry is a dirty POS player
But there was nothing he could have don’t there
Him trying to avoid hitting Tavares probably made it worse though

Yeah, could've been a case of trying to minimize the damage and instead amplified it. Hope he's ok. I may be an Isles fan that doesn't like how he left (and still put a lot of blame on Snow and Ledecky for letting it get that far) but you don't want to see anyone take a hit like that. I would think the Leafs will have Toronto's best doctors and specialists spend a lot of time helping him out.

Wow that's so bad.

 

[jcs0218]

Your money did not go to waste in taking Med school I can tell you that much. Impressive diagnosis

I had to consult with Dr. Recchi before I wrote that post. So no credit is deserved.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Prayers for him. No one wants to see anything like that.

 

[BKIsles]

Jeez that shot was brutal, best to JT on a fast recovery, that was sickening.

 

[AuraSphere]

Any updates on JT? Scary stuff. Prayers up for him.

only update is that he's been transported to hospital

 

[slapKing]

Scary, scary stuff. Hope JT makes a full recovery without having any last damage for his career, and above all else, his overall health.

Not a Perry fan, but that was an accident. Just a unfortunate situation all around

 

[Del Preston]

HNIC and/or the NHL is copyright claiming video of the injury on Twitter.

 

[Pookie]

As a Leaf fan, if any one of us says that collision was intentional:

a) they have never played hockey

and

b) they are an idiot

 

[McJC]

Just a sickening play... not intentional at all, all the best to JT

 

[Byron Bitz]

When do updates usually happen when players get transported to hospital?

 

[izzy]

that had to be the most unfortunate/unlucky thing ive seen..

hope he’s alright

 

[Btown]

Worst response I think I have ever seen.

If the Leafs bench thought that was intentional then a staged fight wouldn’t be enough.
If they didn’t think it was intentional then why figh?

 

[Il Stugotz]

Of course it was an accident. I’m 99.9% sure it was an accident, just like Cooke on Karlsson

 

[pensfansince88]

Wow scary stuff. I would like an update. One of the scariest hits I've ever seen

 

[Mickey Marner]

I noticed that keeps happening, too. I don't think they like it going around because it's so gruesome.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Terrible thing to see. Hopefully he’s okay. That happened so fast there was nothing Perry could do.

 

[The don godfather]

Even if it's intentional and maybe it is good luck suspending him. No chance .

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I preface this by saying that Perry is a dirty POS. That said while I think that he may have been able to avoid this situation by jumping over JT, it did happen extremely quickly so it may not have been on purpose, but the player's history leaves at least a sliver of doubt in my mind. Best of wishes to Tavares on a full and hopefully speedy recovery. Even as an opposing fan it was tough to see Matthews and co. so emotional as they looked on helplessly while their Captain was in great distress.

You can keep crying, won't change the outcome

I legit got scared he might be dying in front of our eyes. Let’s just hope this will not affect his life and career moving fwd.

Scary. I felt the same thing.
