Chances are in this incident wouldn't have helped either way. I watched the video and it's not like you can see what happened to his neck. That amount of blood in that short of time was similar to Malarchuk and i consider him surviving pretty lucky, but in that case he stayed put and the trainer was out there so fast, in this case they were too focused on getting him to the bench than the emergency of treating the wound.
Yeah, the few times I watched it I can't really figure out if it is intentional or not. He gets checked, and it's almost like, "I'm going down so I'm just going to throw my body into the player" but then you have to realize your legs are flying in the air. I just don't understand it, really. There's people calling for the guy's arrest, but I almost just feel likes it's a terrible hockey player who doesn't know how to skate and he caused the death of another because of it.
Well, regardless, it was completely reckless. I don't think he was trying to cut anyone, but like you said, he does seem like he was trying to top rope that shit.
It is still too hard to tell from a physics stand point if he just went to throw his body into Johnson, and because of the previous contact and his intent to try to change his trajectory it caused his legs to go up. I mean, if you think about it from a gymnastics perspective, using you legs in the air to change your direction is pretty common. We can all agree it was reckless, a poor decision, and no hockey player has an excuse for that kind of action. I'm still leaning that he certainly wanted to make contact with Johnson but was not planning to have his legs be the point of contact with his head area. God i really want to believe that's the case... the alternative is hard to swallow.
The tough part about this is that there's ancillary factors to consider about the player.
They’ll go on a crazy run line they do every year. They are an erratic team and Dumbo didn’t make them any better. Nicer toys though.
It feels like they lose 2 out of 3 games all season long, then I look at the standings in February or something and they're somehow in the 7th place in the WC.
Interesting reading here. The writer thinks the Flames have a pop gun offense. Realistically the Isles are not much better. Goal differential is the difference here. The Flames bleed goals in a conference that doesn’t preach defence.
Flames pause all contract talks as slide threatens season

This is the issue when you get boxed into a corner by a guy that doesn’t want to be there. They gotta just get someone back to offset the loss and digest it to fans/media on the blowback.
Huberdeau for you. Ekblad for me. Neither one are the difference makers their reputations say they are.
He was a complementary player to Barkov in Florida. He was expected to bring a little more to the Flames and he’s not doing it.
