Not one of those skating know it all‘s that are popping up online as I’ve never been on the ice at that level but I will continue to believe that no professional player would ever consider doing anything like that on purpose against an opponent.
But on the flip side, having attended hundreds of games over the years at that level and having never seen a skate above chest height regardless of how hard a hit/check a player has received, then in my opinion now, Matt Petgrave will have to answer to some very serious questions.
