Kid in the Riot Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 An astonishing incident, that I wish I hadn't seen the footage of. Certainly feel sorry for all those that witnessed it in the arena, must have been very traumatic, particularly for all the families with children in attendance. I wonder if there will be repercussions for the other player involved, as not sure why their blade was up anywhere near neck height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 That’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t recommend watching, wish I hadn’t. Poor bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northsomersetred Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 It's happened a couple of times in the NHL that I know of, both times the player survived, footage is on Youtube, Clint Malarchuk and Richard Zednik. Not a link to the actual Malarchuk incident but his Wiki page with a graphic description of the incident and how he was saved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Malarchuk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, surely it wasn’t shown live and, even if the original incident itself was shown, surely the screen then showed something else. Please don’t tell me it’s available on some highlights show.

Looking at the graphic on the footage, it looks likely that it was being shown on something akin to Robins TV To be fair the footage I've seen all cuts out at the same point. Up to then it's not really clear how bad the situation is, but I'd say it did cut as soon as it became apparent what had happened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Not sure what you saw, but from the video I saw you see the impact immediately, he struggles on his knees with blood everywhere, and then staggers up and skates back to the bench with blood clearly all down his front before it cuts. Either way, if you haven't seen it I wouldn't recommend. I think hundreds of people in that arena will be suffering from the trauma today having seen that.

Lewisdabaron Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Horrible incident. About time these ice hockey players also stopped fighting at every opportunity. Seems they pride themselves on having a ruck on the ice, doing things like this could cost someone else their life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I understand the Police are looking into this. Lots of Professional players are saying it wasn't an accident and that the other player raised his foot on purpose, even after collision . Either way it's a real tragedy and awful to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it would be to record his interviews etc especially now the coroner has reached their verdict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTeamInBristol Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 The bloke is a serial offender for committing fouls, the most penalised player last season so he has history. The fact he got a standing ovation at the game over the weekend is disgusting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 I saw the footage the other week and yeah seriously doesn't surprise me the guy who caused the incident was arrested. It didn't look like natural movement, to my eyes what he did with his feet but I don't really know Ice Hockey that well, but with the rumours about this particular player being known for being aggressive then it sounds about right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
