John Tavares injury

[Number8]

Don’t get why everyone including the color commentator auto calls it “accidental”. Perry is the king of accidental on purpose. To me it looks like he saw that hit on Tavares and the fall develop. He saw enough to know he had to jump over Tavares, but of course he accidentally on purpose just chose not to jump high or to the right enough.

Hope Johnny T recovers quickly. Thumbs up at the end is a good sign.

Watch that at full speed. Ignore the 2 million frames per second slow mo that makes everything look like the Matrix.

That was bang bang. Like a fraction of a second in full speed. I’m not saying Perry isn’t greasy, but on this one? Not a hope in hell. Just a bad accident.

As a Canuck fan I hate Perry but lol at anyone thinking he did this on purpose. Did you guys not see that happen at real speed?

Hopefully Tavares makes a full recovery

 

[kingpest19]

The hell is he doing skating back directly through that lane in the first place dimwit?

Following the play up the ice like the winger he is.

yes and Perry’s knee to Stalocks head looked prettyyyyy fast too. But there he is, kneeing someone in the head... AGAIN.

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

If you're looking for the culprit on this play, it's not Perry. It's Chiarot. I thought the league had banned the can-opener move.

Perry was in the wrong place at the wrong time and, in my opinion, didn't need to fight afterwards.

His words were "you stand up for your teammates, right or wrong".

 

[Little Psycho]

Anyone with two eyes could tell it was accidental. I always thought Perry is a piece shit and dirty as hell, but this ain't it and fighting because of it was dumb. Beat them on the scoreboard

 

[Sheppy]

My stomach hurts watching that, man. So scary.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Really? There's some people who think that it was intentional?

Hope Tavares is okay though, was scary to watch so I hope it's not going to keep him out the rest of the playoffs as I'd hate for a player to miss any time with injury. But hopefully, he doesn't rush back either.

he looked like a clown on national television. what a way to stand up for your teammate, you go nick!

Emotions. He didn’t care if it’s right or wrong, intentional or not. His captain is laid down on the ice.

I honestly think that was a useless fight and unfair to Perry to having to respond after him seeing his friend unconscious like that because of him. But at the end of the day, actions were taken and we move on.

Long series ahead. Perry will continue to be a contributor to our team and success. He’s vital to us. Incredible player.

Thoughts to John Tavares and hoping for a quick return for him.

 

[rethinking]

I'm sorry but with Perry's history; 3 NHL suspensions 4, 4 & 5 games and his knee on Stalock , it's hard to blindly believe him. I think he was trying to get a piece of Tavares but did not want to hurt him that badly.

[the paisanos guy]

Who cares about the fight? Foligno was doing his best to get his teammates' minds off the upsetting thing they just saw so they could continue playing an important game

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Agree that the NHL should pull the clip of the injury from wherever it's been posted. It's in their right and they also know that (unfortunately) this is the type of play that gets a lot of exposure.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Wouldn't surprise me if Tavares returned early if the Leafs are on the brinks of elimination.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

That’s a scary collision, hope JT makes a quick recovery.

 

[A55P2]

Thanks for that info. Hoping everything goes well for him. It was very scary to watch.

 

[Number8]

Excellent report.

This is more of an example of you wanting it to be on purpose than an actual case against Perry.
