They just arrested that Hockey player who sliced another player's neck with his blades the other week

The only black guy in the game murdered someone for blocking a check? They can't help themselves lol

>Players get tied up and knocked off balance all the time, its surprising we don't see more lacerations. It's crazy how many non-hockey fans see the leg go up and think he tries to put it up there.

Yes, it's amazing that this this has only ever happened to one other non-goalie in the history of hockey and no one has ever died from it before now…. I wonder why

3 hours later: locked.

The second top comment is absolutely insane cope lmao. If it was a white guy no one would be defending the dude at all.

>locked

also

This reminds me of the time Tony Stewart ran over a guy at a track. The guy had left his car and walked close to Tony's path. These where midget cars on a dirt track with not the greatest lighting ever.

Tony revs the engine right before hitting the guy. Tons of idiots claimed it was him swerving at him. However that's how you control those cars you literally spend the whole race turning left with your wheels turned to the right. It's a constant drift essentially.

I am stupid but how the frick are u going to turn left with your wheels turned to the right. Nascar isn't a bunch of cars drifting the whole race that's fricking r-slurred… or?

wouldn't be surprised if it gets locked and deleted

Well, locked anyway.

How many white hockey players have been charged with manslaughter for on-ice incidents this year, chud?

Yeah if they're arresting him after weeks of investigation they clearly think there's something in it. Still a good chance nothing comes of it but this isn't just a formality for every death

I hope they have evidence pf him texting someone he did it on purpose so /r/hockey can stfu but then again they'd probably just say the racist cops planted the evidence

I think there is very much a phenomenon of slo-mo being deceptive. By slowing down a collision that happens in a split second every movement looks more deliberate and intentional

Until someone is charged they won't release names so if they release someone with no charges their name isn't dragged through the mud. Obviously it's a bit silly in situations like this but it's just the standard practice for any arrest

i wonder who they arrested

The hockey subreddit is coping and saying it's medical staff or some shit lol

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.

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.

100% intentional no question

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.
