Don’t see any intention to injure on anyone’s part. Clean check. He just happened to fall in the path Perry was skating. No way he could have gotten out of the way from hitting him as quick as it happened. Just one of those unfortunate hockey plays. Hope Tavares will be ok.
Just wanna point out how terribly the first trainer handled it. You can tell he’s literally out from miles away but when he gets to Tavares he tried fucking talking to him like he’s on earth, doesn’t flip him on his back through the process of all of this, then Tavares “wakes up” and falls backwards in an awkward position that could’ve potentially made him hit his head again. Terrible way to handle someone who’s unconscious Edit: I did notice he’s holding his neck though which is great that means he at least understands what’s happening, but still
For me the scariest moment is at 0:31 (1:38 in the 2nd half) where you can see the life and light just go right out of Johnny Toronto … there is no one home at that point

Clean
Feel better soon i hope
I hate Toronto and Montreal so when i saw this cause my brother had to watch i didnt react cause idc if you aint a bruins player what happens happens
I’m no Corey Perry fan but he did all he could to try to avoid that contact!
Blu ble blu bla ble Blu bla ble
Cheap shot Chariot with the little grin after seeing JT take the blow to the head.
Thank god this wasn't a repeat of Clint Malarchuk
OMG DEAD OMG REAL
Hockey should be illegal
Update?
Waiting for the graphic part still
No, Chiarot hit him, then Perry tripped over him and paralyzed him
JOHNNY T YOU MADLAD HOLY SHIT HOW'D U NOT GET A NECK INJURY FROM THAT??? He's ok now tho 🙂
Chariot and Perry totally orchestrated the whole thing. They calculated and rehearsed the move for weeks.
Plan B was a puck filled with C4.
That’s karma for leaving Long Island
How about the carelessness of the medical staff standing him up like that? After a neck injury..stretcher needs to come out
the quick reaction to lift his legs from Perry may have saved Tavares's life.
Haha classic 🤣 hopefully it happens to matthews this year 🤞
Coming from an islanders fan this was terrifying to watch. Never wish a player to get brutally injured like that.
That was scary , but the bullshit that they went after him later , there was no intent by perry, total garbage.

Watching this live was the scariest thing I’ve seen on tv ever
