as a non hockycel , how likely was this an accident?

Petgrave didn't intentionally slash Johnson's throat, but he was probably trying to block/hit him with his leg and/or flailing around while embellishing a hit (flopping). It's pretty unlikely his leg would've been that high if he wasn't.
Does that make it manslaughter, or whatever Bongland's equivalent is? No idea. That's for the lawcels to figure out. But it is a pretty good reason for the Sheffield Steelers to cut the guy from the roster.
Having a dirty player is one thing, but a deadly dirty player? It's just not worth it.

As opposed to intentionally kicking Johnson in the throat? Almost certainly an accident, and shitty skating by Petgrave. He fricks up a check and is going horizontal but scorpion kicks to try and keep his balance while knowing Johnson is to his side.

That's dramaphobic, please can you say that it's clearly intentional?

Petgrave's Bantu genes, already pushing him to a frenzy for being near something as foreign as ice, cause him to mistake Johnson for a liquor store clerk. Eyewitness reports are coming in that Petgrave was heard sucking his teeth and muttering, "dem bix nood gib mo for dat Windrush Scandal neighbor," as he exited the stadium.

As a hockeycel, sometimes you do try to get a dirty hit in when you have a chance. Put your stick out to throw a guy off their edge, slew foot someone when you have a chance, etc., that shit happens. Outright lifting your foot up over someone's waistline at someone? Yeah, you don't do that unless you have an intent to hurt. All jokes and memes aside, I think the dude wanted to kick him in the stomach - itself a dirty shitty play - and went higher and got his neck.
To be an accident, you'd have to be the worst skater on the ice, even for a semi-pro team like this was. You always try to fall forward, not backwards and up.
