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
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
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.
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
Why do they allow checking (and fighting) in hockey? If you so much as breathe on someone else in any other sport now even including American football, you're flagged and stripped from the game, fined and who knows what else.
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 😢
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
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
Start watch the video at 1:06 at 0.75 speed .. Look at Perry chugging toward Tavares as he see's his team mate lay him out.. Did not see him hugh? LOL SMH
@@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
@@donjuan4067 he was crossing over to get speed to go down the ice.. Tavares wasn't in the way at that point. if Perry didn't lift his left leg then the skate would have cut John up pretty bad.. could have been much much worse
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.
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.
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. 😢
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)
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.
My friend on the ice dropped me, and I fell on my right side, hit my pelvic bone, I thought it was bad, but no. And here it's just some kind of nonsense
Hard core canucks fan here we have no love for the leafs this is a human being terrifyingly injured...teams mean nothing when this kind of thing occurs.......so horrible to watch....
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. th-cam.com/video/ZKeBlpwoc94/w-d-xo.html
This is the special occasion where I get pissed about the fight culture in hockey. Love fighting. Think it should be a part of the sport for players to keep each other in check.... But anybody with two fucking eyes can see that was a complete freak accident, and they made Perry fight for it anyways.

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.
@@tazztower44
Agreed. Hate him but sorta felt for him here. Just feel awful for the JT fam
Ya except chariot is smirking like he thinks it’s funny... ya that’s real clean bud... ur an idiot

Fact

1:06 Perry did his best to avoid hitting him, he jumped over and fell down himself.
I hate Perry now cause he hurt John

@@peterloewen1533 I don’t think that’s the most important thing about this video
🤣
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
@@kellyrobertj.6548 Hockey is probably the most dangerous sport. Even moreso than football..
I remember when this happened at a bar, there were some Islander fans cheering and laughing. Classless.
I know they hate him but nobody deserves to take a hit like that.
I don't know what's more frightening: the look on his face or the way he fell backwards.
It’s okay they’ll get what’s coming to them
I don’t know what their ethnicity has to do with this tho
@@unfairbear8527 Huh? It's a reference to the New York Islanders, a hockey team that plays on Long Island.

Watching this live was the scariest thing I’ve seen on tv ever
@@Rkyeg Mike Scheifele's hit on Jake Evans during the 2021 SC playoffs was pretty bad too.
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
I felt like I was going to throw up.
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

Sprained his ankle
It was a head injury. The look on his face suggests it was a nasty concussion.
That was brutal
Props to the other guy for at least trying to jump over him
GEEZ I PRAY CAPTAIN TAVAREZ RISES AGAIN.
The way he fainted got me puking. I know he's playing now but still scary even in '24

Exactly
I’m a leafs fan, When I watched this game i was shocked. I seriously thought he was gonna d!e
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. 😢
When the commentator's voice cracked, you knew it was serious.
I think hockey players and UFC fighters are the toughest athletes.
mma fighters out here like "he'll be up for the decision".
Can’t believe Perry had to answer to that freak accident with a fight the next game
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.
Almost an csi episode 😮😮 hockey ain't no joke I see
You can see the guy that kneed him wasn’t trying to hurt his opponent. He’s actually trying to jump over him but it was just too little too late

The first one was nothing but the second one was devastating
That was scary
Jesus... that's brutal.
Nuttin to do with respect and fairplay☹️😞
This was anything but graphic.
For demending 12.5 million a year for a average/ good player this should be the norm for him
what does john tavares do now after 2 years? is he still an active player?
Yes, still the captain of the Leafs.
i dont even like hockey and that shit wild
Rip maple leafs.
Man, I remember watching the Dangle livestream when this happened. Scary, scary hit. Glad it all turned out okay in the end
Perry must feel awful. Even if he had no way at all to move his leg out of the way
Yeah sports look real healthy.
Does anybody know what the injury was?
Most likely a concussion. The look on his face is like that of someone with a nasty head injury.
