he's like the 1% of the hockey player in race yet one of the most violent
Blacks make up .01% of hockey players, but are responsible for 100% of hockey murders.
No matter how heated any sport can be or how high tensions rise … If you have a skate with a very sharp blade at the bottom of it … what would possess you to raise your foot to another person's neck !?! Where is that thought process
Put the murder in jail!
Matt Petgrave purposely lifted his leg trying to impede and block Adam. I can't even lift my leg they high. This is manslaughter.
Not a freak accident.
Watch this frame by frame by pausing. Matt pushed the other player away and drop kicked him. It's so clear. This is such a horrific tragedy.
Why did he lift his leg like confu kick, I saw video and it seems like it was intentional
Talking about double standards: "White men can't jump" vs "Black men can't skate".
Was No Accident, God damned bastard Petgrave must be Jailed
Matt Petgrave should go to jail, there was clearly intention to hurt.
This was an intentional violent act. Justice for Adam!
Okey, reverse race, it would be 'murdered' all over the news now. But no it was a 'freak accident'.
Petgrave kicked him on purpose. He knew what could happen amd did it anyway. Prison.
Nobody in hockey lifted a leg that high while their other leg was on the ice.
Rest in peace Adam Johnson
This is manslaughter the guy did a full upper kick and used his skate as a weapon. I hope the guy is locked up until a full investigation takes place, He killed a person accident or not he should be held responsible for the death taking a life. R.I.P Adam Johnson prayers for the family. Hope Justice will be served
My heart goes out to his Parents siblings loved ones. Years invested in healthy sports. This is DIRTY PLAY It needs to be addressed. No kid should have intentional kick to NECK How can this even be done? These players dont understood that kills? Im so, so sorry. The kick WAS INTENTIONAL The death NOT Very heartbreaking As a parent of sons playing sports THIS NOPE. SO WRONG. May his parents loved ones lives forever changed find peace. Just heartbreaking 💔
Look at minute 3:40

NO ACCIDENT!! The kick was 💯 INTENTIONAL!! Not to mention he has the most violations in the league and there's other videos where he's kicked other players before!!
