Is this hockey manslaughter? (Warning: Kinda graphic)

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 10-30-23, 11:06 AM

Heard about it.

I could see a lawyer bringing charges, if they can deem that Intent was there. Apparently, the player has some history of aggression.

watching the video it seems clear that he launched his skate at his hear area with the intension of cutting him. He should go to prison.

I always thought Bertuzzi got off light for the Moore incident. He paralyzed Moore:

Out-of-court settlement. So, it's fair to say that Bertuzzi paid 6-figures to Moore.

You go down a rabbit-hole on injuries in contact-sports:

*A lot more could be said here.

IMHO, it's your responsibility to show restraint.

Ya, its tough being a Canuck fan and seeing what he did even though Moore was a dirty player. Not condoning his actions but if Moore didn't cheap shot Naslund giving him a severe concussion causing him to miss a few games, he's would have had that happen to him.

Guy was a NHL legend and never deserved that

I didn't know that about the cheap-shot.

FYI: I should have said 7-figures, not 6-figures. Any settlement had to include:
*Loss of future earnings, plus
*Pain and suffering.

I'm sure Bertuzzi made a significant amount of salary AFTER that incident and AFTER he sat out the suspension.

I have a soft spot for Bert. I have on occasion enjoyed a few cold wobbly pops with him at the Cecil on Granville Street in Vancouver.

Oh, wow. That's pretty cool.

Hey hey hey, Lomas Brown the former Lion admitted to purposely missing blocks and letting defensive players in to hopefully knock Scott Mitchell out of the game and season. Apparently, he did not like Scott Mitchell. They did reward Lomas with plenty of local T.V. jobs and commenting on the Lions post playing career, etc. Not sure if he also was rewarded with national spotlight T.V. too can't remember.

Do nasty evil stuff - be rewarded for it. What a great guy Lomas must be! I'm sure if Mitchell develops CTE from those hits he can thank Lomas for some of it.

Dwight, very interesting. There's a legal element here.

What about a Safety laying out a WR coming across the middle? Think Tatum's hit on Stingley. Is that beyond the threshold of reasonable aggression?

The Malarchuk incident has been referenced. I believe he had medical knowledge. Plugging his own artery surely saved his own life.

**DwightShrute** · 10-30-23, 06:33 PM

Chuck, I know the hit you are referring to but it looks to me as if he purposely lifted his leg in a kind of karate motion and used the sharp blade to injure him. Maybe a better video would change my mind.

**homie1975** · 10-30-23, 06:44 PM

marty mcsorley got charged for slashing donald brashear across his neck/head with his stick.

this is assault with a deadly weapon and absolutely will get charged.

absolutely.

**Itsamazing777** · 10-30-23, 07:47 PM

I think his skate hit the first players

**Bluehorseshoe** · 11-14-23, 01:17 PM

And the police just made an arrest.

**johnnyvegas13** · 11-14-23, 03:06 PM

How did I not see this until today

always thought we would see someone die in the nfl

didnt think it would b nhl wow

i guess they must have kept this story off of any mainstream???

**hehfest** · 11-14-23, 03:33 PM

Another black on white crime if I am correct? This guy deserves execution if found guilty. There is no place on the ice for using skate blades as a deadly weapon with malice.

I thought you were done posting until the new year? Why keep pushing that clown show if you don't want to keep it real?

**johnnyvegas13** · 11-14-23, 03:41 PM

Did I post a play here no

this wasn’t nhl btw euro hockey league

**stevenash** · 11-14-23, 06:08 PM

Billy Smith used to use his goalie stick like razor blades.

**JIBBBY** · 11-14-23, 06:15 PM

Hockey skates are razor sharp and pucks come flying also. Wear a clear face mask and neck protector and problem solved.

Slamming the back of your head on the hard ice could kill you also if your helmet comes flying off in a big hit.

That's hockey. Accidents happen.

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 11-15-23, 08:19 AM

The cockroach should be charged with murder.

**Foxx** · 11-15-23, 10:48 AM

He's been arrested on "suspicion of manslaughter" but has not actually been charged yet. Could be a tough case.
