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.
The worst part was when the trainer tried to sit him up and he just sagged. As a human being that's hard to see. All the best to Tavares for a fast recovery.
This was the worse injury I've seen in years. John is nails. God be with him man I'm brought to tears with this injury seeing Leafs captain go down like this
@@denisesalles7248 yes Malarchuck and Zedenik were the worst. But those are cuts. Head injury is a whole different ballgame. RJ Umberger, Karya, Lindros etc. Tavares' was just as bad impact wise and had the added potential of a bad neck injury.
For me the scariest moment is at 0:31 (1:38 in the 2nd half) where you can see the life and light just go right out of Johnny Toronto … there is no one home at that point
Glad JT was giving a thumbs up while being stretchered out. He was at least conscious and alert at that time and aware of where he was. I'm guessing a concussion for sure and probably out for the rest of the playoffs but it could've been worse.
I hope Tavares is ok now. Poor Perry guy couldn't do anything and must feel really bad. It was clearly unintentional but a scary hit. Hope the player is OK.
and after this hit there was that stupidity where the leafs thought they had to fight perry in retaliation, one of the dumbest traditions in hockey when the guy obviously didnt mean it
@@Don-rl1sm I think you're talking about the guy who put him on the ground in the first place. This one was intentional. It's the one who arrives right after that and has no way to avoid him that is unintentional.
@@Don-rl1sm The images I see don't show that to me, not that we see much of it. So to me, from what I see, he falls, the other guy is right behind and can't avoid him. You can believe otherwise, but that is what I see.

What was so ridiculous about this accidental hit is that Perry was forced to fight someone to defend this accidental hit which the whole leafs bench got to see on the replay…gutless but that’s who the leafs are to there core, gutless

@@biar1738 See what I mean.. Perry did not want to cripple him.. But he is a known goon and saw an opportunity. Any team with balls would send this to head office.. But leafs will just shrug their shoulders

A doctor myself a head injury is so serious the brain can be damaged or have a bleed on the brain or can have brain damaged but fingers crossed he gets the right treatment but he's in the right place where doctors and specialist can help him recover
Right? Rewatching this even now knowing he’s good and healthy is still scary as hell. The moment where he just ragdolled backwards is one of the scariest things I’ve ever watched live in hockey. Scary, scary hit and I’m thankful it wasn’t even worse.
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! 💙❤
Without causing an uproar and upsetting anyone. I know I'm Australian and know sweet F A about Ice Hockey, but my concern was why that official allowed him to move at all and wasn't kept in the recovery position until medics arrived?..again I may be speaking out of turn but surely his physical safety for risk of spinal injury should have been of upmost importance.
Corey Did His Best To Avoid Him To No Avail & Landed Hard Because Of The Extent He Went To Avoid John! Those Trainers Should Have Kept Him Lying Down & They Helped Him Up, Then Over, He Passed Out From Orthostatic Hypotension On Top Of The Concussion/Contusion If We Are Blessed And Their Is No Bleeding Anywhere Else. Heavenly Father Bless & Heal John In The Name Of Jesus Christ. Amen
Kudos to the trainers getting to him so quickly. I can’t help but wonder if trainers had gotten to Adam Johnson right away if maybe he would have lived. 😢
Appreciated from a Leafs fan. Idk why I’m watching this algorithmic horror again lol but it’s nice when everyone realizes sometimes competition and tribalism isn’t everything 😢
What part was injured? Was this a head injury? I saw him get hit hard and fall, but I'm not sure what actually happened to him, physically, I mean.. Can someone explain.
i know its not perrys fault but it prob would of been better if perry didn't try and avoid it cause when perry jumped to avoid it he ended up kneeing tavares which is alot harder
This is a really fast game and unfortunately these injuries happen sometimes . JT is a tough vet and you know if he’s down like that it was really bad.
I had a player get a stick to the neck she went flying off the ice and collapsed they thought she broke her neck all I remember is bawling my eyes out waiting for the ambulance to load her up 😢 scariest day of my life (it was only like a month ago)
Hi, I hope it's okay to ask, could you please add a warning for the flashing lights in this video please? Thank you so much. I hope he's doing okay now
Terrible hit, not malicious. Chain reaction and accidental. Perry is not at all at fault. Anyone including if it were a Leaf could not have gotten out of the way from hitting Tavares.
He was lucky that he didnt broke his neck. Bit similar situation happened in finnish sm-liiga chezh player Jaroslav Otevrel paralysed below neck. He fell down and his head hit other players knee. ua-cam.com/video/ZKeBlpwoc94/v-deo.html

If perry didnt slightly lift his left leg his skate would have cut Tavares face so I would say it could have been alot worse.
Yeah, Leafs fan, agreed. Just a real energy drainer, even to watch. Fuck sakes.
I'm guessing Perry feels the worst.. Definitely wasn't on his mind pregame.

1:06 Perry did his best to avoid hitting him, he jumped over and fell down himself.

I remember when this happened at a bar, there were some Islander fans cheering and laughing. Classless.
i thought his neck might have gotten cut when i first saw it...get well John...really tough hit
Me too even though it don't look like it he got really lucky
Right, I thought he got his throat cut I was petrified.
Don’t look up anything related today
CTE BRAIN FOR SURE
Yeah when he fell into Corey Perry’s path and caught his knee I thought he might’ve been cut by the skate since it all happened so fast
He’s very lucky that it wasn’t his throat. I thought initially that the skate hit his neck. I got up and yelled like I never had before.
Yeah same when he fell back trying to get up I thought I was looking at a dude who just broke his neck. Scary moment for sure
Coming from an islanders fan this was terrifying to watch. Never wish a player to get brutally injured like that.

That seizure was a fencing posture seizure meaning he also has a TBI. Of course he would have a concussion, but lucky he did not get killed.
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
he lifted himself, no trainer in their right mind would lift a player while the neck is a concern.
I don't know exactly why, but everytime I watch this video I cry
the quick reaction to lift his legs from Perry may have saved Tavares's life.
Gimme a break
