I am not an expert, but it did seem like an accidental kill while doing an intentional attack on another player.
Either way, It's hard to tell. But I used to have a huge fobia of these blade shoes for a long time. Now, I know it wasn't irrational.

@LukeAlmighty and that intentional attack was meant to cause harm, of which he should have known how serious it would be given how sharp those skates are. It's still murder if you wanted to hurt someone, especially because it's not just "part of the game" like shoving. If that kick would have just hit his chest guard that nigger still would have been thrown out of the game and possibly suspended for a bit because there's absolutely no reason to do that beyond malice.
@beardalaxy
I meant, that he was attacking a different guy with body slam.
@beardalaxy
It does seem, that he miscalculated a body slam, and the leg flew the wrong way. to another player.
But the camera shot I saw wasn't exactly great.
@LukeAlmighty idk how much hockey you have seen but there's just no way. Your leg doesn't get that high off the ground without either being hit pretty hard (enough to flip practically). Normally, your skates would just slide out from under you if you slipped, and if you really were that off balance for you skates to go that high it would be both legs. Dude barely even had anything happen to him, he just missed a shove which happens a lot. The leg raise was 100% intentional, maybe not to kill but to harm for sure. The only reason I'll give that concession is because specifically aiming for the neck on a man who is crouching while going that speed would be extremely difficult. It still counts as murder though.
This nigger is also the most violent player in the league by a long shot, in the running for the most violent ever. He got kicked out of the last 2 out of 4 games for jabbing a player with his stick (big no no) and abusing an official (which could mean anything from yelling at one to getting physical with them, but getting kicked out for it means it was probably relatively serious). He had 71 penalty minutes across the last 11 games. Absolutely insane. He's a known dirty player, which doesn't help his case. It tells me that if anyone was willing to throw their leg up like this, which is an EXPLICITLY ILLEGAL maneuver, it would be him.
And, adding to personal bias, I've heard that he's a BLM supporter who has had some anti-white takes and has blamed his underperformance and penalties on racism. No way to confirm that because he locked his Twitter after getting hate mail from "trolls." That's just what I've seen people saying who knew about him beforehand.
So, supports violent riots with anti-white rhetoric, is an extremely dirty player, and went for a highly dangerous maneuver. He's been playing for over a decade, someone like that doesn't just lose their balance enough to fling a leg up from a missed shove. The writing is on the wall.

Ok.... I will reconsider then.

Yeah... go on... Tell on camera, that you believe that the black guy did something wrong 🤡
I think I get why they wouldn't be 100 percent honest.
@LukeAlmighty literally, if he kept up the pace throughout the rest of the season, he'd beat the record (relatively, since the leagues have different season lengths) of the player with the most penalty minutes in a season in the NHL. That was back in the 70s.
I think him actually playing for so long adds to it as well, not just the fact that he's violent but he's been violent for a while and SHOULD have the skill to NOT do something like this on accident.
It's very hard for me to entertain the idea that it was an accident. The only thing that makes me somewhat doubt it being intentional is some professional players saying it was an accident, but I don't exactly trust pro sports players to be 1) smart and 2) honest. The idea that the leg raise was not intentional, or AT LEAST extremely negligent from a player who should know better... I just can't see that.
Either way I hope he never plays a game of hockey again. He's clearly a menace, or best case scenario he's lost his touch. It's like someone getting their license revoked for killing someone while driving under the influence. He shouldn't be able to play again and that's the LIGHTEST sentence anyone could give him.
If he is actually tried, I suspect it will end up as negligent homicide because there would likely be no way to prove intent unless maybe they had been going back and forth a bit in the game or on social media. Especially given how many pros will testify that it could be an accident (which I still really do not think is possible).
