I suggest everyone actually take the time to study the BBC writeup as an indication of how surreal "journalism" and "law enforcement" have become.
First, not only is Matt Petgrave not pictured in the article (which has become standard malpractice), he is not even mentioned. Instead, we get this vague construction:
For all we know, a white hetero Christian fascist threw it from the stands. Then we are told of the "investigation":
WTF? It was televised. There is, of course, no link to the video, and they talk like he was abducted by a flying saucer. And I'm sure this next bit information originally came in response to the police investigator asking, "Jeez, doc, what the hell do you think happened to him?":
They do raise a final mystery, because I can't for the life of me figure out who "the real killer" might have been:
It's all really a new low.
The news coverage is a story all on its own ..
It's too fast for me to see, I'm not used to watching hockey. https://x.com/Iwontsubmit/status/1719738491280466285?s=09 But hockey followers are suspecting there was a second kick.
Very bad video. And NO video from the audience?!?! Is it being purged?
I wouldn't necessarily expect to see any fan video. It's been a few years since I went to a live hockey game but hardly anyone bothered taking any pics or video besides selfies and if the mascot came by.
That seems counter-intuitive given today's habit of filming every f-ing thing, but fans attended in person not solely or even primarily because of the hoopla and energy, but because you really do get a different--and in many ways better--feel for the game when you can see the entire rink at once.
Then on top of that, everyone just records the game at home so that if something interesting occurs, they can rewatch it with slo-mo and all the angles and commentary.
Which makes me wonder how the actual broadcast went out. I suspect it was, "And now an extended word from our sponsor, followed by a featurette while officials clean up all the blood."
As to the video, I'd say it wasn't so much of a second kick as that he had his leg locked, was driving it right at the guy's head, and it bounced off his chest/shoulder pads.So again, evidence that he didn't just happen to be swinging his leg for some inexplicable reason.
Oh, that is interesting. Definitely games are more interesting in person. But, I had thought it would be like Taylor swift concerts by now. Everyone recording instead of watching.
You always have really good insight and analysis. Thank you for sharing.

It's so annoying when people - even HUGE hockey fans - continual the narrative that (1) "he didn't mean to kill him" "he didn't intend to kill him" and (2) "he feels really bad right now".
Really?? Really???
Intent is a huge legal issue and argument. How do any of these Podcasters and commentators feel justified in stating his intentions at that time, alledging that they knew his mind, his mens rea.
And even worse, how can they presume to know his current feelings?!?! Has he made any statements? Polygraph tests? Made statements under oath? If anything, it would probably be closer to Aston Kutcher who panicked when he found his girlfriend dead and decided to cover up his association.
This guy, Tim Peel, some commentator, https://youtu.be/u9FPFWW2WK4 says Petgrave didn't intend to kill him. Then he continues, saying that Petgrave might have meant to hit the victim's head (a/n with a blade with extreme force) but he didn't intend to kill him..
That's like.... I can't even think of a Jesus or Aesop type of parable that everyone can understand, that is so outrageous. Help me out here??? You creative writers lurking here?
That is the logical train of thought based on the video footage of events.
That's like a commentor saying:
Even this hormonal young girl was treated horrendously by the media and we can't really know her thoughts. She was definitely suicidal and mentally ill as she could not have expected to survive the crash. It was definitely a very emotional moment that led to her boyfriend's death.
19-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla was called ‘hell on wheels’ - after she drove her car at 100mph into a brick wall. Failing to brake, the crash killed her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan last year. She denied purposefully killing both men – sobbing in court and said she didn’t remember the crash. The judge sentencted her on 12 charges including murder and felon-ious assault - she'll serve 15 years to life in prison.
Just as a point of comparison (and to keep the history alive), even though ice hockey has the reputation as a violent sport, this is the most violent incident I ever knew of (although I'm sure there are others):
The Donald Brashear-Marty McSorley Incident
It took place 2/21/2000, so you can already see how far back we have to go. Interestingly as relative to the current incident, the attacker McSorley was white and the victim Brashear was black.
I think the NHL has ever had at most four black players. But you can see in the article (and I bet in any other writeup you find on the incident), that no one even mentions race.
We never appreciated how good things were without the constant and intense racial division.
His name is odd to me - Pstgrave. That's like a predictive programming or indication of the marrix/simulation theory.
He is a petty, dirty player. And he killed someone, put them in the grave.
I still wonder how this will all fall out.
How can his US relatives or govt sue? How will the Britiaj govt handle a a foreign prisoner?
Is he technically a Canadian? He seems the type to have various nationalities.
