John Tavares injury

[Sensin5]

I dislike Perry as much as the next guy, but that was completely 100% accidental. He even tried to avoid him at last second.

Foligno demanding a fight and Keefe screaming at the ref was totally idiotic.

 

[Mrb1p]

I liked it....old time hockey

Fighting someone for a freak accident? Whats next, they should have fought when Zednik got his throat sliced open?

 

[Sombastate]

As a Flyers and Giroux fan, I decided years ago that I hated Tavares (in a flattering way).

That was horrifying and genuinely made me tear up. That was... just bad.

Get well soon.

 

[LOFIN]

I'd be surprised if he returns to the playoffs. Very scary situation.

On a relating note, that was probably the dumbest fight ever.

 

[Big Empty]

Wishing Tavares all the best. Worst play in hockey I’ve seen in a while.

It was obviously not intentional by Perry though.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Holy shit that looked terrifying. I really hope he is ok long term

Bruins fan here watching the game.
I am mortified by this.
Get well soon JT

Exactly. It doesn't matter what team you cheer for. You never want to see this. Never.

 

[Del Preston]

Can someone explain why the trainer immediately got Tavares up on his knees? Wouldn't you want him not moving?

same as an isles fan. Nothing to do with hating a team or hockey. These guys are people and you never want to see someone hurt. Thats one of the scariest post hit reactions by a player I’ve seen. Really hope it’s not serious but it doesn’t look good at all

 

[MasterDecoy]

that was the worst ive seen in a long time. hope he'll be ok

 

[Swervin81]

Said this in the GDT, but with the way the trainer had his hand on the neck (Zednik flashbacks), the blood... the way JT slumped over backwards and went limp.

I genuinely almost hurled. I was convinced we just saw someone die on the ice. I'm still sick to my damn stomach.

 

[Habidelidoo]

The scene reminded me of a horrible Formula One accident F***ing scary. Hope he recovers to 100%

I think the fight was kind of a reset thing. Tough to go straight from seeing your Captain injured like that to an intense game.

Foligno kind of took the lead in trying to get the team going I guess.

 

[Vikke]

Foligno and hockey in general is f***ing dumb.

 

[BLNY]

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.

Give it up already. That happened so fast. And Foligno should be gone for instigating a pointless fight. Let's get revenge for a completely accidental blow to head by having a fight and throwing punches. It's idiotic.

 

[missionAvs]

Very unfortunate but completely accidental. The retaliatory fight is what really pisses me off. Hope for the best for JT.

 

[McGarnagle]

I've seen some bad hockey concussions in my day (Lindros, Kapanen, Bergeron, Savard), but I don't think I've ever seen someone get KTFO'd like that on the ice in my life.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Hope he is okay

Got told don't watch the clip by someone but I heard it's brutal.

 

[flashy]

unreal.

2 flying knees in like 2 weeks.

I don’t he’s going to be back for a while. That was brutal

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Watching him fall back like that was f***ing scary. Really hope Tavares is ok. Pretty sure he was bleeding somewhere on his face.

 

[The National]

Scary accident, the fight was completely unnecessary.

 

[Just Linda]

Can someone explain why the trainer immediately got Tavares up on his knees? Wouldn't you want him not moving?

Yeah, that was an... interesting choice. He was holding the next already, he wasn't guiding him into a safe position. I didn't like it.

 

[780il]

Gut wrenching the way he fell back

Hope he recovers and it’s nothing long term

Foligno fighting him is as much to send a message to his teammates as it is to the Habs and Perry

I think both teams needed a reset after watching that
