You dirty dog!
That is beautiful news, I can't imagine how blessed he and his family feel right now. Hopefully the media stays away and leaves them alone. You Islanders fans can finally give it a rest too.

A paper in Ottawa (sun?) did the same when Eller got bloodied years ago.The best selling paper in Montreal elected this photo on the front page
it’s still not f***ing ok. And journal the Montreal is trash

If they released him, then that should mean that there is no spinal/neck injury. So, that's good given the way his neck got bent and the way he collapsed backward while he was trying to get up.That is beautiful news, I can't imagine how blessed he and his family feel right now. Hopefully the media stays away and leaves them alone. You Islanders fans can finally give it a rest too.
Just have to be patient as he recovers, however long that takes.

Agreed. Very classless. I will never read anything Toronto Sun related ever again

The sun. I’m shocked...
Yes, Journal de Montreal is trash. But that's a lot worse if you ask me ...

Great news that he's already out of the hospital. That impact looked like it could have resulted in a terrible spine injury or skull fracture or any number of disastrous injuries. A concussion sucks, but it seems like he may have escaped with the "best case scenario" here.

Glad he's out of the hospital, hope he makes a full recovery. Honestly not very interested in tomorrow's game. Seeing that as a leaf fan has pretty much killed my interest in watching these playoffs.

If I was a leafs player and any hockey player for that matter I would refuse any interviews or questions from the Toronto sun. That’s despicable

Those newspaper cover photos are pretty gross, but not surprising when you consider the source.

Although I immediately said last night that Perry shouldn’t have had to answer the bell, I agree with everything you say here, and in your previous posts.
It was an “it is what it is” moment. It doesn’t matter if you agree with Foligno. It was literally seconds after seeing a very frightening scene, where your captain was taken off the ice on a stretcher, and Foligno likely didn’t have the benefit of hindsight , of watching 40 different angles. He was probably more concerned with the well-being of Tavares.
Foligno, and Perry, both did what needed to be done and it was over. No running of players or cheap shots that could have escalated tensions quickly. Although the plays were a lot different, it’s much like the Edler hit on Hyman. The next game, Edler, who isn’t a fighter, took his shots from Simmonds and it was over.
I am not comparing the Edler and Perry “hits”. I am discussing the aftermath and the "code" that has been referred to. End it, leave no doubt, and get on with the game and the series.
This happened 10 minutes into what was already an emotionally-charged series. Hockey is a fast, split-second game. No one is to blame for what happened last night. It was clear that Perry and Price had some kind words for JT as he was being wheeled off the ice. It was a freak accident, but at the time, Foligno and Perry both knew what needed to be done.
Now both teams can focus on hockey.
My thoughts and prayers are with JT. I wish him a quick recovery.

While the fight was silly, i agree with the commentators last night. get it over with right away rather than having the entire leafs team coming at you the rest of the game.
everyone understood that. why else would Ducharme send him out for the very first shift?
It was an accident, it was dealt with immediately, now both teams can get back to hockey in the second game.

You can try to justify Foligno however you want dude, he still acted inappropriately and looks like a major clown for it. Sad that some think he was somehow in the right there...

Yup, exactly what Foligno said, that’s your captain on the ice. Props to Perry for going through with it, even when his heart was obviously not into it. Allowed the game to return.
Wtf does toxic masculinity have to do with this. This is such a bullshit 'woke' response using buzzwards to make a point when the point doesn't have substance. And clearly you've never played competitive sports if you think the players wouldn't have policed the situation later on if it hadn't been settled.
Corey Perry would have had to been able to see the future to know that Tavares would fall, and at what exact place and time, for him to anticipate skating into him at full speed like that.
Anyone who thinks Perry did it on-purpose is reaching for something that isn't there.
