Naw. That had strong Matt Cooke-Erik Karlsson achilles vibes. Definitely a skate cut.

Laine also left the game late with what appeared to be a wrist injury. If those 2 are out, the Jets are in a world of trouble. Roslovic and Copp will both have to really elevate their games to levels they have not yet reached.
Scheifele likely isn’t going to be ready to start next season. That Laine play didn’t look awesome either. This series changes significantly even if only Scheifele is out.
I think Maurice is stretching a bit here.....
“It was intentional. It was a filthy, dirty kick to the back of the leg,” Maurice said after his team dropped the series opener 4-1. “You can’t see it on the program feed, but take the blue line feed and you zoom in. He went after the back of the leg. He could have cut his Achilles. He could have ended the man’s career. It’s an absolutely filthy, disgusting hit.
Late game for me on the East Coast so I'll have to watch the highlights. Sounds like two massive injuries could swing this series in Calgary's favor.
I said earlier in this thread Hellebuyck would need to be the difference for the Jets. Sounds like they need him now more than ever.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Huge blow for the Jets. Without Scheifele and Laine this series is over already.
But was it a dirty play by Tkachuk? I can’t decide myself. He has the reputation but I’d hope it wasn’t intentional.
Iissed what happened to Laine. Anyone able to fill me in?

Laine was slashed on the wrist by Giordano but Paul Maurice said the injury didn’t occur from the slash.
I can't imagine anyone intentionally trying to slice the back of someone's legs with their skate. However, I played a lot of hockey games over the past 40 years and not once have I ever had my skate a foot off the ground pointed towards a player while I was going to check them.
