John Tavares injury

[SeanMoneyHands]

Out for the playoffs. Guess Spezza or Thornton take the #2C spot.

 

[orby]

That is downright scary and tough to watch. Total fluke, too. Best wishes to Tavares.

 

[the paisanos guy]

Man hard to even care about the game after seeing that

 

[mr figgles]

Scary as hell. Hope it's nothing major.

Judging by how he was acting after, it’s major.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

That’s about as bad as an injury can look. All the best to JT.

 

[rynryn]

i absolutely hate Perry but can't blame him for that.

My god that's about as gorked out as i've seen a skater.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Prayers here for Tavares.
That looked so bad....

 

[JoVel]

That's horrifying. God damn.

 

[surixon]

Complete fluke of a play but that looked real awful for him. Looks like he was completely KO'd. His neck snapped really violently as well, I really hope there is no damage there. I think he was moving his hands which is a good sign.

Hopefully it is nothing too serious and he's able to make a full recovery.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Watching him slump and fall back with blood coming down his forehead is one of the scariest things ive ever seen

 

[Barnum]

Just brutal for Tavares. The play happened fast and I hate to say it, but anything involving Perry makes me wonder if it was accidentally on purpose.

Come on man, there was no way at all that was intentional. It was just a very bad bad set of circumstances.

Good to see the thumbs up on the way out.

 

[Luigi Habs]

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.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Foligno fighting Perry?

Why? It was an accident?

 

[CapSpace]

We had our share of scary accidents in the past years in Montreal. Wish Tavares the best, this f***ing sucks to watch, really.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

strange fight, it's like Perry didnt wanna swing back

 

[Mattb124]

Jesus. No. What is wrong with you?

Having watched too many games where Corey Perry has done shady stuff is what is wrong.

 

[dss97]

Perry didn’t try and kick him in the head but he didn’t really try not to either..

Good on him for taking on someone tougher than him right after though

 

[Steve]

Horrible to see the way he fell back after the doc got there

this was awful to see.

 

[Stealth1616]

People who thought that was intentional really need to give their head a shake

 

[RussianRacket]

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

 

[Puckclektr]

I just called the leafs are going to win the cup after the hit. And then foligno does that f*** and I hope Montreal wins now.
It was an accident. Why bother the guy probably felt terrible.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Just brutal for Tavares. The play happened fast and I hate to say it, but anything involving Perry makes me wonder if it was accidentally on purpose.

I don't like Perry but there's no doubt that was an accident.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

This is interesting when they talk about suspensions and talk about how the caused injury affects. Here Perry has a flying knee directly to Tavares head and Tavares is stretchered out. If we go with that "only resulting damage matters", Perry should be thrown out of NHL.

But everyone understands it was an accident, so obviously it can't work that way.​

 

[Orfieus]

Foligno fighting Perry?

Why? It was an accident?

Perry has a reputation. Any other player I say this was a accident but with Perry in 80% sure it was an accident

 

[MoreMogilny]

Might be one of the most scary looking injuries I’ve ever witnessed

 

[TheBeard]

Having watched too many games where Corey Perry has done shady stuff is what is wrong.

I’m a Sharks fan so I’m well aware of Perry’s antics, but there’s cheap shots and then attempted murder. No player would purposely try to do that. Not even Wilson.
