That's the only video I've seen. Don't see any reason for his leg to be up like that. It's fucked up either way. Hate to pass judgement w/o clear video and knowing all the facts, but on the blurry eye test, that could be criminal.
alta:
here we go, a couple more seconds. Definitely looks intentional..

That's bad business there. Absolutely no reason to lift the leg, and he not only lifts the leg but makes a kicking motion at the guy, and he skates across to attack him. I have no problem with him moving across to check the player, but he intentionally kicked him up high. No doubt a deliberate attempt to injure.
Break it down and what would DPS say?
I'd say Petgrave is headed for trouble. If I were on his team, I would refuse to play with him. Absolutely cannot tolerate this.
I love physical play and believe it should be part of the game, but not dirty play, not intent to injure someone. He should be held accountable for his actions.

It's a horrendous play even if his only intent was to obstruct the puck carrier. It was like some karate kick. Naturally, the English league is overreacting and mandating neck guards and I assume the NHL will do the same next year. One guy dies as a result of a play seen once in 100 years so everybody will have to skate around in some type of horse collar.
