John Tavares injury

[Hullois]

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

What a stupid thing to say.

 

[overlords]

You actually watching the game, like at all?

those tears in your eyes are probably making it hard to focus and see what's actually happening.

 

[MXD]

Was it tho? I know he was not trying to do that but I am fairly sure he would have hit him by “mistake” no matter what

It's not too late to edit your post.

Pretty pathetic reaction from the leafs. Keefe going crazy, Foligno going after Perry. Are they gonna attack the rut in the ice if a leafs player blows out their knee skating over it?

 

[DopeyFish]

Trainer is a nitwit

no trainer was trying to stabilize his neck while tavares was like "screw that im ok" and trying to get up totally ignoring the trainer

they are only going off what they're seeing in realtime, no replay.

 

[The don godfather]

I kinda think it was intentional not planned but like hey there is a head ill just nudge him but he couldn't control the force of it and angle.

 

[DueDiligence]

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

Give it a rest.

What happened to JT tonight...he figuratively did that to my team on July 1st, 2018.

No, he didn't. Not a good take, nor is it the time or place for it. This is why we write it out and then think before hitting send.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Foligno did the right thing for his role... You came out rough, our captain is now gone... I don't give a f*** if it's accidental or not you gotta answer the bell now.. good on him (also good on Perry) accidental or not it's to send a message... If one of our guys goes down no matter what, you guys are paying the price it's playoffs.

Interesting view. Same thing if someone gets injured by a deflected shot, must fight whoever deflected the puck?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I don't think there was any avoiding it

There wasn't, and I'd wager Perry's last second dive attempt avoided what could have been a possible skate to the face or something.

Hey, we found one of the guys that booed our anthem back in 2002

 

[BLNY]

I don’t think it was a revenge thing. It was a let’s just do this in case it escalates and someone else gets hurt thing.

Hurt. In a fight. You run a guy, I get it. There are rules in place ... oh right, the NHL is more than just a little selective in application of the rule book ... to deal with with Foligno did. As CBC talks about "the code", and as they try and justify Foligno's pov, you see everything that is wrong with "the code".

 

[MattMartin]

If you feel it being relevant in this context to say you dislike the injured player you need to go back to practicing your social skills...

I'm not quite understanding that everyone left out that I said.....

Horrible to see
Hope he is OK
Never like to see anyone injured, especially like that

I guess if you gloss over that and have a CNN approach to critical thinking, than yes, You're right.

Trainer is a nitwit

I think Tavares is dazed and confused after taking the accidental knee to the head. No way a trainer is telling him to get up. Tavares is likely going on instinct trying to get to his knees. Thus the trainer is trying to stabilize his neck. Has no choice but to follow Tavares up to his knees.

 

[bleedgreen]

I don't think Perry meant to knee him in the head but I definitely think he meant to skate by and give him a bump. He had plenty of time to avoid him.

He had zero time to avoid him. He wasn’t even looking at him. That’s ridiculous. Stop watching everything in slo mo.

as for the trainer it looked like Tavares wanted up and then passed out, the trainer was just along for the ride. He isn’t going to pull him down to the ice to keep him down. JT was likely talking to him as well saying he was ok and good to get up even though he was actually a shit show, hockey players hate being on the ice hurt.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Inserting an idiotic buzzword into witnessing something terrifying transpire like a traumatic brain injury probably isn't the smartest thing to do.

Hopefully John Tavares recovers and suffers no lasting effects from this. Hockey, and sports in general, pale in comparison to the quality of life these human beings should be afforded after their careers are over.

I meant I usually don’t get disturbed watching stuff lol bad choice of words maybe I guess

is it possible to be born this stupid, or have you taken several blows to the head like tavares just did over your life? very curious

 

[WingsMJN2965]

In retrospective, Foligno did the right thing. shake it off and get back to play.







I love Dubas

Guy can't contain his excitement. Get to LTIR $11M to acquire some depth next year!

... I kid. Too soon. All seriousness, hopefully Tavares is OK. That looked ugly.

 

[IronHalen]

what a ridiculous argument. watch the f***ing play. He's not able to avoid the chiarot/tavares collision. JT is right in his lane

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

 

[notsocommonsense]

get well soon JT! kudos to Perry for standing up not even trying to throw punch in that idiotic fight...

Absolutely moronic that he should have to fight after that

poor JT, that was really ugly

 

[kihei]

Watching that replay in real speed, it was clearly unintentional.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

It's not often that there's a bigger d-bag than Corey Perry on the ice, but Foligno topped him. He brought shame to his team and disrespected Tavares.

 

[Captain97]

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.

If you look at Perry's face after the collision he looked like he felt horrible.

 

[Whitesnake]

I don't think Perry meant to knee him in the head but I definitely think he meant to skate by and give him a bump. He had plenty of time to avoid him.

lol...Yeah..,he had plenty of time....when you watch the game sitting down on your couch...while watching the replay in slow motion.....

He had no time. Chiarot hit him, JT fell down ackwardly, Perry either get his skate on his face or try to avoid him. He tried the best he could. Freakin accident.

Everybody sane knows it was an accident. And watching Perry all year for us, he's not the feisty Perry he once was.

 

[Kelly]

I'm all for fighting in hockey. With that said, why the f*** does Perry need to answer for something that was clearly accidental?

That was the dumbest fight I've seen in hockey, maybe ever. Pure accident. Perry is a D-bag, but probably feels bad. You don't need to make him fight for that, and there's no, "Receipt" that needs to be given.

Foligno also doesn't have the multiple angles and replays we do. Clearly the emotions were high.

Quit being dramatic.
