I've not seen the incident but was under the impression it was just a freak accident? Manslaughter doesnt have to have intent is basically how the ruling is as far as I understand it. I dont think anyone can ever really say there was intent on the play. Idk Ill reserve judgement just to see how it plays out first. Im shocked they've gone this far so idk what to think really.

But obviously Ice Hockey players and fans will know more about it being a freak accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,613 Posted November 14, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2023 Okay, now that I've heard the news about the arrest, I watched pictures of the incident. I can't bring myself to watch the video. But did the guy basically karate kick him in the neck while wearing ice skates? Wtf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm nowhere near qualified to state either way, I don't watch ice hockey but have sadly seen the video. He didn't karate kick him in the neck, though.

Danny 2,204 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Looks like his right heel got caught in the ice and sent him off balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly dont see a world where they move forward convicting the guy tbh. Unless they have social medai posts or texts or something or a history of bad blood. Its not really a natural movement with the skates but as Danny says it looks like he hit a divit in the ice or collided skates with the another player (its hard to tell on the video) and when that happens you no control basically either way and it sent his skate wildly into the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotspur Hannah 6 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I don’t really follow the NHL, but this is a sad situation all around. First the death of a player during a game is horrible and the family and his teammates having to live with that. Now, the play happened so fast as it always does in the game of hockey so I have no idea if the players skate came up on purpose or not. I would hope that it would be that the player did not do it deliberately. Unfortunately, since the play did move so fast and it is somewhat difficult to determine for sure what happened 100% this horrible event has to be brought out into the forefront again. I understand that the facts need to be clarified on this, but for the family and his teammates it is going to be extremely hard to deal with . Not to mention the player that was charged, especially if it was not a deliberate action on his part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
