Looked purposeful to me.

That karate kick was intentional.

Petgrave should be charged with manslaughter.

ECHL announces fine, suspension (2018)

Not everyone appears to be a fan of Sheffield Steelers star Matt Petgrave (2022)
He has been booted out of two out of the last four games, for abuse of officials (against Coventry Blaze) and alleged spearing (Manchester Storm,) and is Sheffield's top penalty-minute taker (71 in 11 games.)

Across the EIHL regular league, as a whole, nobody comes close to his penalty minutes tally.

Last year he had a career-high of 145 PIMS [Penalty Infraction Minutes] in 34 games with HK Spisska Nova Ves in Slovakia.

Amazed that he got up and skated away. I wonder if there was immediate medical attention available.

I guess he is getting death threats now

On purpose? Why is his leg so high even after he got hit?

He was off balance after that glancing Check. He was going down towards the right and his left leg automatically went up to get back his balance.

I know my hockey playing was when I was young but I had some really weird balancing and flying acts happen while playing on the ice. I saw many of them as well.

from the few things I read the skate wearer is known to play in ways that create penalties meaning he doesnt care for rules.

seems from video he intentionally hit one player and also it’s odd his one leg doesnt fall with the rest of his body and it happens to kick and kill the second player.

someone who plays recklessly will create ever more, and bigger injuries/death. I dont know why sports doesnt expell some players known to do this early on instead of waiting for tragedies.

Update...

In his 1st game back, England hockey fans gave a standing ovation to the man who kicked Adam Johnson in the neck with a hockey skate and killed him. London has fallen.
