Michkov could of faking it and making it look like he did tried to avoid but it hard to judge. He did hit right in back of tanev.. accident or not i feel it could avoided differently
Your review is terrible. They were both looking back at the puck and neither saw each other. Its incidental contact there is no check and there should not be an additional 4 minute penalty. Even the 2 minute penalty is a stretch because it was incidental. Just another crybaby trying to ruin the game
Judging by his skates and shoulder he was trying to avoid Tanev he almost leaned away from the hit rather then throwing his whole body into it. Im a long time canucks fan so i love Tanev, But this was not meant to be an intent to injure at all.
Leafs fan here. I don’t blame Michkov here. It clearly wasn’t intentional. He wasn’t even looking at Tanev, Tanev zigged backwards without looking and they ran into each other. The outcome was bad for Tanev, but it’s just one of those things that happens
1. It wasn't intentional 2. I wish Tanev a speedy recovery 3. I think Tanev needs to consider Robidas Island if that's all it takes to put you in the hospital. An actual intentional hit could render him unable to hold a spoon never mind a hockey stick
This is definitely one of those it's worse than it looks kinda incidents. I'm not arguing that Michkov was being malicious or dirty. I had to find real-time footage to see if it was the speed that it happened at. I wouldn't have expected Tanev to need a stretcher for that, I hope he's going to be okay. We miss him in Vancouver.
At one time this wouldn't have even been called for the X, hit looked clean, Michkov was just skating his route and didn't seem to be intent there… but still. I agree about the check from behind minor. Both guys had a lapse in spatial awareness and it led to a scary moment. I am not an "old time hockey" partisan but I can sort of get the POV that younger players don't know how to avoid/minimize/absorb hits because they don't allow checking in youth hockey (15U in CA and 12U in USA last I knew) so it is never learned by the kids these days. Hate to see it happen to Tanev, all the best to him and hopefully they were just being overly cautious.
It wasn't intentional and I'm sure Michkov felt terrible you can even see him looking down at him right after to see if he's okay before other buddy hops in. I get it defend your teammates but I'm sure Michkov genuinely felt like bad
No wonder this guy has so few subs. He goes on about a distinction without a difference.
It's FOOLISHLY SILLY to think that just by calling it a 2min check from behind, it's going to make a difference then calling it a 2min interference. That's just dopey.

Reportage de merde de IA incroyable
Seemingly innocent hit, bad luck on Tanevs part
Not malicios. All of us are praying for chris tanev.
Go flyers.
wtf dude made of glass?
Not sure if it was dirty. But he definitely didn’t try to avoid it. He was standing his ground. Unfortunate I guess

The thing about this is that Mitchikov doesn’t even really initiate contact, they both just kind of skate into each other.

Obviously wasn't ready to return, and now may never be.

I was there it was scary
Oh fuck did you see his head jiggle. 😮😮😮 oh fuck he ain't going to be the same after that one 😢
He skated into Michkov more than Michkov tried to hit him.
Interference is the only call required, that was not much of a hit. Hope he is okay.
That’s not even a hit. That doesn’t seem like Tanev was ready to come back.

If that was a check from behind, I'm Elon Musk
That was not an intent.that was a standard response and hit.
Michkov should have been suspended for several games. He has little man syndrome. Its symptom is acting sneaky from behind. 🤡
Ya more penalties. Lol. How about getting rid of instagator rule. Your a snowflake😂😂😂
this shows you he wasn't ready to come back.

Super dirty.
Poor kid, well at least Toronto has the Blue J…… uh….er….oh yeah ,um nevermind 🤦🏻♂️
Tanev brought this all upon himself. He's the one who skated into the Philly player. Leafs suck. lol. Hopefully not too serious an injury. GO HABS!
Freak play
Why did Tanev change direction at the last second.
Im not a Michkov fan, but it didnt look like he was tryin to hurt Tanev to me.
It wasn't intentional and I'm sure Michkov felt terrible you can even see him looking down at him right after to see if he's okay before other buddy hops in. I get it defend your teammates but I'm sure Michkov genuinely felt like bad
Toronto is desperate so they rushed Tanev back he wasn't ready !
Dropped by an undersized skill fwd on a routine play. 😊
No wonder this guy has so few subs.

So if he had the puck, it'd be hit a from behind. Without the puck, its only 2 minutes to end his career?
