John Tavares injury

[TheYardMachine]

View attachment 436777we really do have some disgusting MEDIA in Canada. Absolutely disgraceful. I hope JT has a full recovery!!

Wanted to post that too!

Probably the worst disrespectful headline ive seen toward a sport incident

Real classy george.....

It wasn't suppose to take like that, it was just a notion.
If you red my post one post later, you know how i felt about the injury.

I've seen a lot worse. "Dramatique" in French is not necessarily meant to infer a positive thing. It doesn't translate to "dramatic", more like "theatrical".

 

[LOFIN]

Fighting in hockey is a controversial topic. Sometimes emotion boils over, and I think we all get up from our seats to watch those brawls. But no matter what Foligno said and how it might make sense to the players, imagine watching that stuff as a casual fan. That was an embarrassing moment for the sport.

That said, it's over and done, and people should focus on discussing the health and hopefully full recovery for JT.

So if I compare the incident to a real life situatuon like......

if you accidently lose control of your car and cut me off and I ramm you and cause an injury to your sibling, you jump out and say yo i know this was an accident but dud I have to beat you up now to stand up to what you did to my sibling?

Makes no fricken sense

 

[Larry Hanson]

I don't think there are many folks debating that.....maybe a few homers or Perry haters who actually believe it was intentional.

But the vast majority are aware of what really happened.

I hate Perry, have for years, he's a scumbag.
However this was a complete accident.

 

[Kranix]

I guess good on Perry for taking the request. Probably shouldn't have but he fought that washed grinder out of respect for Tavares.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Foligno is an absolute moron for forcing a fight there. That is not the code.

Tavares looked to be in serious trouble and Foligno does that.

Did you read his post game comments? If not I'd suggest you do.

 

[loudi94]

I think Foligno was stretching the limits of what is an appropriate response. Whatever, Perry obliged as he thought it necessary. Case closed. Now can someone explain to me what Simmonds was up to later on?

 

[Larry Hanson]

You lead with how idiotic it was and follow it up with "Maybe Foligno should have been worried about JT's well-being". Come on man, the whole team was worried, Foligno included. You never want to see an incident like that happen to anyone, let alone your captain.

Again, I don't think the fight was about being week, if you listened post-game, Foligno said he told Perry he knew the incident was an accident but he still needed to fight because it's their captain. I guess Foligno felt like he needed to follow the 'code' in this unique situation. To suggest he didn't care about JT's well-being is just an unfortunate take, to say the least.

If you witnessed a car accident with a good friend of yours getting hurt, total freak accident, would you run up, grab the other driver and start swinging?

it's journal de Mtl, they are shit and sensationalist, really pissing me off to have such a terrible media represent the whole province.

Quebecor is cancerous.

How are people like this allowed here? It diminishes the credibility of this place being an educated hockey forum

Wtf is this?

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

Just rewatching the play again and why the hell did the medical staffer try to sit Tavares up right away, ridiculous

He wasn't trying to sit him up, Tavares was the one trying to get up. The medical staff was trying to keep his neck still in case of a spinal injury.

 

[PWB]

I don’t like fighting in general and dislike it in particular in reaction to a clean hit or as a reset for a flailing effort. I hate Perry. But this made sense to me. And Perry was nothing but class.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Wtf is this?

Pretty simple, you shouldn't have to fight after an accidental play.

 

[umma gumma]

Hope Johhny T is ok. Hate the Leafs but not that much.

I think Quebecor oversees all the Sun Media tabloids, so no surprise there. Very present in this market as well.

... why would we ever compare it to that though, that doesn’t make any sense. There’s fighting in hockey.

My point is the fight was useless and whatever Foligno said to justify it made so sense either. Its an accident, not a cheap shot.

And now we get in the reason why some people think fighting should be banned.

It's tolerance is used as an argument to justify a pointless fight meant to indulge a side's toxic masculinity. "I have to fight you, even if it looks stupid and we just hug the entire time"

Wow, that's an extreme and uncalled-for comparison. Not going to go down this route...

 

[Gutchecktime]

Of course it was useless and of course it was an accident.

Am I the only one thinking people are making way too big of a thing out of this? Foligno is a disgrace to the game? Like wha? He asked a guy to go, guy said yes, was a nothing fight. Was it silly? Sure. But guys have fought for a lot sillier reasons than the aftermath of watching a teammate be stretchered off, accident or no.

I don’t like fighting, I don’t care if it goes away and never comes back.

But comparing it to a car accident? lol, what? Just bizarre.

It's more like someone hits your car, you lose control and go into my lane and then I hit you.

"Bruh why didn't you move out of the way????? Must have been on purpose!!!"
