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

I don’t want to look at the video. Nonetheless, my Canadian wife tells me that it would be next to impossible to plan and execute that kind of attack successfully. It was a freak accident that happens once in a while.
I am shocked at these comments.
This is not even a close call to me. It was an intentional high kick. This guy has the most penalty minutes in the league and is a well known thug. His history of on ice thuggery is well known.
He belongs in jail and on trial for manslaughter.
There’s a reason that hockey official have been cracking down on players leaving their feet when making a hit but this takes it to a whole new level.
Intentional or not, it always has seemed to me that this type of injury is somewhat inevitable on random basis. The razor sharp blades are typically down closer to the ice but during a body check, the skates can come well up off the ice... and if another player just happens to be skating by, contact can inadvertently be made. Given enough games and enough body checks, probability suggests that eventually someone will be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Looked purposeful to me.
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.
Another update, perp not yet named....
Gee, wonder who it could be...?
