It is good he is getting a chance to play again 2 years after the freak accident. He raised his leg as the player was falling, slitting his throat. Was charged with manslaughter, but charges were dropped. It is funny how 4% or so of professional hockey players are black, but one has the misfortune to have been involved in a freak accident.

It did not look an accident to many of us.

I’d have to see a video of the incident before deciding whether or not he was guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct...or anything criminal

Freak accident???

Replies, at link ...

The move that killed Adam Johnson was a move that Matt petgrave has used in the past. It’s a dirty play, and he shouldn’t be allowed to play hockey ever again.

And.....since you brought up race, this reply ...

What the hell? He did a ninja kick with skates on to the guy’s neck and he got off scott free? How do you lift your skates literally 6 feet off the ice to slice someone’s neck and call it a freak accident? Would a white male been given this amount of leniency?

I hope the Blackhawks fans boycott games till this murderer is dropped.

He should be rotting in a cell right now.

Tragic incident? No. Intentional act? Yes.

This was no accident - he deliberately aimed his skate blade at Adam Johnson and slashed his throat.

I played junior hockey and was an avid skier. In my opinion, having been checked hard and knocked way off balance and hitting a mogul on the ski slope, that was a natural reaction in order to maintain balance.

It was an unfortunate accident but none that would warrant the claim that it was deliberate.

Whether it was accidental or not, Chicago has harbored thugs for decades so this is no surprise.
