John Tavares Scary Injury(GRAPHIC) Dual feed Toronto Maple leafs at Montreal Canadiens

Don’t see any intention to injure on anyone’s part. Clean check. He just happened to fall in the path Perry was skating. No way he could have gotten out of the way from hitting him as quick as it happened. Just one of those unfortunate hockey plays. Hope Tavares will be ok.

Watching this live was the scariest thing I’ve seen on tv ever

Fakn jabb

Just wanna point out how terribly the first trainer handled it. You can tell he’s literally out from miles away but when he gets to Tavares he tried fucking talking to him like he’s on earth, doesn’t flip him on his back through the process of all of this, then Tavares “wakes up” and falls backwards in an awkward position that could’ve potentially made him hit his head again. Terrible way to handle someone who’s unconscious
Edit: I did notice he’s holding his neck though which is great that means he at least understands what’s happening, but still

That was scary , but the bullshit that they went after him later , there was no intent by perry, total garbage.

Coming from an islanders fan this was terrifying to watch. Never wish a player to get brutally injured like that.

Haha classic 🤣 hopefully it happens to matthews this year 🤞

the quick reaction to lift his legs from Perry may have saved Tavares's life.

How about the carelessness of the medical staff standing him up like that? After a neck injury..stretcher needs to come out

That’s karma for leaving Long Island

Chariot and Perry totally orchestrated the whole thing. They calculated and rehearsed the move for weeks.

Plan B was a puck filled with C4.

JOHNNY T YOU MADLAD HOLY SHIT HOW'D U NOT GET A NECK INJURY FROM THAT??? He's ok now tho :)

No, Chiarot hit him, then Perry tripped over him and paralyzed him

Waiting for the graphic part still

Update?

Hockey should be illegal

OMG DEAD OMG REAL

Thank god this wasn't a repeat of Clint Malarchuk

Cheap shot Chariot with the little grin after seeing JT take the blow to the head.

Blu ble blu bla ble Blu bla ble

I’m no Corey Perry fan but he did all he could to try to avoid that contact!

I hate Toronto and Montreal so when i saw this cause my brother had to watch i didnt react cause idc if you aint a bruins player what happens happens

Feel better soon i hope

Clean

Fucken weak ass neck man was I fucken laughin when this stunt happend

This is why I’m scared to play hockey

Chariot Hit Him First Before He Got A Second Hit So Don’t Be Stupid It A Dangerous Hit

When I first saw this, I swear, John Tavares looked like he was about to die. That neck hit look so bad.

Oh hey this man just suffered a possible/highly likely spinal injury lets throw his body around

ohhh that looked soooooooo bad

More proof that the hockey gods are a bunch of crack addicted child molesters.

The Leafs really are cursed.

Weekend at bernies anyone ?

I thought he broke his neck

that Perry had to fight after this just tells you how dumb NHL players really are

The leaf medical staff can't hold him still wtf are they doing to him

Wow hope he ok

To the people that enjoyed this hit and think this is funny, I hope this happens to you! 🖕I hate the leafs but I would NEVER disrespect an athlete because of the uniform they wear. ABSOLUTELY NO ATHLETE DESERVES THIS INJURY! Some of the comments i read almost put me to tears. You should be ashamed of yourselves and your existence makes me sick! However, the true sports fans and good people on this thread redeem the good for humanity and for that, I thank you! A lot of good comments and good people out here too! 💙❤

This would never happened if the hit did not come

This sucks. He’s such a classic guy

shut up craig simpson, honestly so leafs bias.

I thought his neck was broken at first... I mean the way the trainer lifted him tho 😐
Edit: oh now I know why... he was keeping it in place and steady

And no cares about the knee on knee that happened in the first hit. That was dirty and he got away with it.

i thought his neck might have gotten cut when i first saw it...get well John...really tough hit

Wow scary

Steve Simmons of Toronto Sun claims Chiarot should been suspended for the initial hit claiming knee on knee. That is a crock. Terrible incident but not a dirty hit -- Chiarot leads with shoulder and makes first contact on the body, not by leading with knee. JT injured knee may happened when trainer tried to get him up and he falls back, buckling his knee.

Well wishes to Tavares

I said they would need to deal with Tavares to win but I didn't mean like that.
