TNT analysts speaking about Adam Johnson’s death on the pre-game show. 11/01/2023

Wayne Gretzky, Paul Bissonnette, Anson Carter& Host Liam McHugh talking about the recent death of Adam Johnson. But ironically not speaking about Matt Petgrave who injured & cut the neck of Adam Johnson when he kicked him with his skate blade.

[@Garlander]

The way Gretzky says "so called accident" is telling. He knows it was a dirty play, he's just not allowed to say it.

[@dmzabo3914]

No doubt. I thought that same thing. Did they even mention the other guy’s name?

[@dalemilbrand]

I wonder why he’s not allowed to say it?

[@dmzabo3914]

@dalemilbrand , racial politics or just politics in general with TNT? Obviously that’s just my opinion. & thank you 🙏 for watching this video. 😎👍

[@Garlander]

@@dalemilbrand I'm convinced there's a gag order by the nhl and anyone associated. It seems that the only people talking about it are retired players or youtube channels. Fox News was the only big media network questioning the dirty play.

Yep, I think you might have something there. Jeremy Roenick was talking sense about this situation. Network commentators ...a big no go zone!

[@NaiveAgenda]

NHL doesn’t have the balls to condemn a black player doing something this awful. I’m black and I recognize if the assailant was white and the victim was black this would be a very different, louder conversation.

[@dmzabo3914]

Yes sadly that's right. (about races being flipped & that's sick in and of itself) I'm not sure how much you are into NHL hockey, but they (NHL Commissioner) hired a black woman to investigate social Justice in and about the teams of the NHL. She found out one important issue. She said the NHL players and office personal on all teams were just too White (in her own words spoken at the NHL League podium). Too White meaning not enough minorities for her paid to say so liking . The nerve of the fans, players, and league. lol being too White. Do you think she'd of said that the NFL or the NBA was too black? I'm going with a big fat no! Racial politics has no room in any of the major sports leagues. IMHO! And in 2020 the World went Woke Nuts! Thanks for watching and commenting.😎👍🏒🥅

If you can't see what so many are talking about ... I suggest you open your eyes up a little more. Just saying! This situation has everything to do with the race of one player and the lack of the authorities getting involved in a MANSLAUGHTER incident of one ice hockey player. I didn't make the rules. Heck I didn't break the rules. Matt Petgrave"s name is hardly mentioned not just in tgis video but all over the place for the reckless incident that he alone did. I can't teach you about racial politics my man, but you best believe it's real!;

No accident? I'd agree because he was neither pushed nor tripped, and he brought his leg up on his own volition. But murder? What about reckless endangerment to human life that resulted in death, i.e., manslaughter?

That was a dirty play. Matt did not mean to kill him but he TOOK that risk when raised his skate up trying to mess up Adam when he started to move across the ice instead of proceeding along the side of the ring. Second degree murder no less.

[@philbuell6657]

Petgrave definitely showed obvious intent to do grievous bodily harm. Watch the video again, he used the player he was defending as a pivot point to increase his momentum, and he was far from being off balance or out of control with his extremities. The intent should make it murder and not manslaughter.

You got that right! Definitely intentional. Throw his ass in jail

[@STARPHASE]

Nope. When Adam's teammates say it was an accident, and now Clint Malarchuk has come out and said there was no way it was intentional, and even explained what happened to cause the leg to go up. Especially since Wayne said this very early on. It's not like he said it yesterday. Plus, the video is such low quality, you absolutely cannot prove intent. Even IF he meant to use his leg to make contact, there was no way he meant to even injure Adam, let alone kill him.

Skin colour doesn’t even come into this,I’m judging Petgrave by his outrageous actions on the ice. Even if he was white I’d still come to the same conclusion,this was not an accident it was deliberate.

They don't need neck guards because no one has ever intentionally tried to kick someone in the head with their skate. This was intentional.

Intentional or not, there’s still a risk of a skate coming up and hitting someone in the neck... take the Richard Zednik one for example. Absolutely no intent, his teammate lost his balance and his skate came up, Zednik lost something like 5 pints of blood? That’s a dangerous amount, and I’m surprised neck guards weren’t in consideration back then. Sad that it’s taken a high profile death for this conversation to happen.

In general life intent to kill isn't required to get a conviction of murder. Only the intent to cause harm that results in a fatality. On the sporting arena and especially in contact sports I would guess it's slightly different because by playing a contact sport you are giving implied consent for violent action against you.

I remember in minor hockey, after the Clint Malarchuk incident, we were all required to wear neck guards, but they were so bulky, hot and uncomfortable back then, after a year or two no one wore them. I suppose if we grew up wearing them from time we first played it would be an easier transition, plus im sure the technology improved where there more comfortable, so need to change the rules. this incident however is more about reckless behavior, it should not have happened, even a goon knows not to raise their skate towards someone, nearly as bad as stabbing someone with a knife, u just dont ever cross that line, so he deserves to be charged with involuntary manslaughter because it was an extremely reckless act that caused the death of another.

TNT analyst? that's the great one, Wayne Gretzky...regardless of that faux pau, this won't make it to trial as there is an inherent risk of severe injury when you play hockey.

You got me on the Great one. Thanks for watching. 😎👍

[@maxstone6953]

Maybe don't lift your skated foot towards another players head ... just a thought. Devastatingly sad. No punishment will come close to living with yourself after taking an innocent life. I'll pray for both sides.

Everyone should download a copy of Wayne feeling up his daughter in her see through wedding dress and her teenage friends at her wedding and he just might not be your hero anymore. It was so cringe it made Trump blush!

can't remember which NHL player it was but he had his wrist cut by a skate and he said his glove filled up with blood.

[@dmzabo3914]

Penguins defenseman #4 Paul Baxter almost lost a finger on the ice during a fight . He fought someone (Can't remember who) but when they went to the ice his finger somehow got sliced really bad. This was in the early 1980's.

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

What about Clint Marachuck? He was a goalie who had his neck cut by a skate. He was lucky to be alive after that.

[@SIX6SIXer]

Stop with this talk about needing to implement a neck guard mandate like this was an accident or that it happens all the time. Matt Petgrave is a reckless, malicious, dirty player that committed felony assault resulting in the death of the victim. He should be treated like the criminal he is.

Wow, I know that thought never crossed my mind. I think you’re one to something. 😳😎👍

[@edrobinson998]

You take body checking out of hockey the players won’t be able to handle nhl hits and your crazy if you think so.

[@dmzabo3914]

Hockey without body checks becomes women’s field hockey. And that’s not knocking the ladies out there.

[@andrecs9079]

step out of your car lol. We all dream of taking the gear off to play

[@andrecs9079]

why theydont make a one piece underwear garmet from ankle to the wrist with hole for your thumb then up to the neck area makemit so keeps players dry and cool longjohns they use to call em but made from a kevlar material most players play with undeshirts already there has to be so e type of garment maker thatcould achieve this cmon man there you go a billion doller idea for someone

[@jameslightningappleby]

Wow Wayne. Always looked up to you as a genius of hockey. But 'those guys in england arent ever gonna play in the nhl so why dont they play non contact' are you for real? Nice way to spread the game round the world mate. Adam johnson who is the guy that got killed, had played in the nhl wayne. We are fully capable of playing full contact over here in england wayne. In fact maybe we should keep the league a bit more english and stop paying wannabe's from canada like petgrave to play over here just because their Canadian, despite the fact that they are dog shit and dirty players. Yes wayne, it was one of your fellow canadians who proved to be incapable of playing the sport without killing someone. Out of order for you to imply that its us brits who cant play contact. You take the contact out the game the sport will lose what little appeal it has in this country. Thanks a lot wayne.b

Listening to gretzky talking about physical hockey he was pretty much the biggest wimp that ever played 😅

[@jamesanthony5681]

Bud, he played 20 years in the NHL, and defencemen such as Denis Potvin said he did his best to hit him and hit him *HARD* , but Wayne was THAT good at avoiding their checks.

[@dmzabo3914]

@jamesanthony5681 most definitely. He had a bullseye target on him from day one.

Yea Wayne but you take checking out of any league, good luck ever attracting fans selling tickets. Fighting is one thing and we know how that argument goes amongst fans but you take checking out? HA! Good luck. Just wear more padding like you said as far as neck goes. RIP Johnson.🙏🏒🥅
