He maliciously and purposely put his skate into the moving body of Adam Johnson. This was no accident like the Malarchuk and Zednik incidents where there was no intent. No, I don't believe he meant to 'kill' him, however, this was a terrible decision that will probably get him a life suspension from the game. In real life, if you hit someone and they die as a result, you are charged with involuntary manslaughter. I believe that should be the case here. There was absolutely no reason for his skate to be there.
i watched this once before and i was pretty sure he fell and it was freak accident, but i went back to watch again after reading some posts here and i dent to agree with above, it looks fishy to say the least...wow....wonder what will happen there...time will tell i guess...
