Huge loss for the Preds. Always hate seeing that, especially during a playoff run. Hoping for a quick recovery, looked like his leg snapped and took the brunt of the hit.
Man, that was a real ugly hit, and Fiala suffered a broken leg as a result. I really wish Fiala the best and for him to have a speedy recovery, cause a broken leg is probably one of the scariest injuries possible to a hockey player.
Talk about ultimate class from the blues fans. And players. Tarensenko helping Arvi bring the stretcher over and the fans giving a standing ovation. Stay classy blues, stay classy. -preds fans.
Ref really had the laziest possible reaction to a guy squirming in pain on the ice. And he had a front row seat to that hit, did he not think oh maybe the dude has a concussion?
Had a 15-20 minute delay at that game. Needed to have an ambulance stationed there to continue play and a fan had a heart attack earlier that night so both of the ambulances were gone.
@@GeoJesse Yes it would have. There are supposed to be ambulances on sight at professional sporting events like hockey games and football games, so that they are prepared for things like this.
Prayers are with him hopefully not going to be that bad worst case ever is if he has to get surgery. But he probably broke the bone connecting to his hip. I AM NOT A DOCTOR BUT THIS IS JUST A GUESS. Praying for him tonight.
Why is everyone so surprised by the extra shove after he was taken down. Extra shoves and punches are constantly happening after hits, especially in playoff hockey... I'm not justifying the extra shove, but I am saying it is very common
He’s doing better now. He’s on the Kings and had a good season last year. He ended up fracturing his femur or the thigh bone which is the most painful bone to break
It looks like as Bortuzzo went to get up his stick was pinned under Fiala and he likely figured Fiala was holding it on purpose. So the push/punch was likely to encourage him to let his stick go.
That is disgusting how he still hit him while he was down, obviously in pain. Dude is face first to the ice and Bortuzzo is like "give me my stick" what a moron.
JLPr Dude it is playoff hockey. Adrenaline is running high. I'm sure if he knew that his femur was snapped he would have immediately backed off. He probably thought he was holding his stick.
JLPr I'm not sure I understand how you came to that conclusion. It was in both cases a direct response to what you said. Maybe try some midol for your period?
Anyone notice goon Bortuzzo's intentional headshot and push into the boards....................... And the darling look-the-other-way ump just stood there and did nothing.
Really. Last time that happened to me I wiped out without any contact. And when someone did make contact, didn't end up being smashed into the boards. Horseshit buddy, these guys know what the hell they are doing, especially when they dislike a player..
Announcer is wrong. That was boarding and Fiala didn't skid until after Bortuzzo forced him hard into the boards. Should have been 10+ games for Bortuzzo. Watch the NHL protect one of the favored teams just now by suspending Johnson for boarding a Bolt (no injury). Double standards all the time = NHL.
Clean play but terrible outcome. It's playoffs, players won't let a guy cut in anymore or give anyone an inch of space now. Don't think Burtuzzo should be suspended.
you sure you watch hockey? that was a completely legal play. Bortuzzo thought fiala was holding him with his stick, all bortuzzo did was finish his check on his player. He had no way of knowing fiala was hurt. So bortuzzo's play was completely legal
Are people blind? I feel like hockey fans are becoming deluded by Leafmania, can you not see the d pushing his arms forward, and then giving him a shot afterwards. I mean we award suspensions to high sticks which are completely unpredictable and expected, but not to raging checks into the board like this?
Sosozanyway looks like you got triggered lol or just trolling. man got hurt playing a pro sport that you nor i ever could so yeah i will pray for him as well
gimmick The hut afterwards happened because Bortuzzo thought Fiala was holding his stick and it's playoff hockey so Bortuzzo was trying to get back into the play.
this is a pretty misleading title. Bortuzzo made a good defensive play on Fiala, but Fiala just lost in edge with his skates too far apart. Bortuzzo had nothing to do with his injury.
Connor Rushen no the title is accurate, fiala is already stopping and once bortuzzo sees fiala is stopping he pushes him into the boards. On top of that he punch fiala while he was down
I disagree, but you're entitled to what you think. its a big boys game, they know they can get hurt making ambitious plays like that, Fiala was brave going it like that. I don't see that you can blame Bortuzzo for Fialas injury. And Bortuzzo doesn't know Fiala was hurt on the play, so when Fiala grabs ahold of his stick Bortuzzo jabs him.
Shame to see a young players playoff run get cut short. He played great against the Hawks.
Win NEW Galaxy S7 He was more noticeable in my opinion
Kevin 😔 send all my prayers the worst part is when after bortuzzo kept pushing him when fiala was down
Jackson Durnan Yeah, that actually kinda pissed me off.
Jackson Durnan he was trying to get his stick back
Hope he recovers and best wishes, that's a lot of damage to a lot of different parts of a leg.
Brian Farrar Do you know what his injury is?
that's a broken femur. I broke mine. he is out at least 6 months.
Ball Sack he had a fractured femur
Wow that looked painful...
Kyle Booth he snapped his femur...
Wow, that is absolutely horrible, I hope Fiala makes a full recovery
Huge loss for the Preds. Always hate seeing that, especially during a playoff run. Hoping for a quick recovery, looked like his leg snapped and took the brunt of the hit.
Broken left femur. Had to have surgery. He's out for a long time.
Man, that was a real ugly hit, and Fiala suffered a broken leg as a result. I really wish Fiala the best and for him to have a speedy recovery, cause a broken leg is probably one of the scariest injuries possible to a hockey player.
Jesus that hurt to watch. Hope he'll be okay.
broken leg, end of his playoff season, hope he recovers and has a good season next year
Ouch, I really hope he is okay. That did not look good. Seeing it live on TV was even worse.
Bobby T. I was at the game about 30 ft behind where he fell yeah it was a terrible accident
This hurt my heart so much even though it was months ago
Was one of the people who signed one of the
"Get well Kevin!" Signs. Was also watching this game live :(
that's a broken leg
Indeed - broken left femur.
right stuff he ruptured and artery too
Oh god the way his left leg just flails around!
That legitimately looked painful. Hope he has a speedy recovery. Shame his playoffs were cut short
Bortuzzo dirty vegetable
Even tho I'm a hawks fan I still hate to see that. Prays go with him🙏🏻
Hockey Kid same I'm a Bruins fan both of are teams got knocked out
Peter McPhail who cares about you goof
Albruins Films our*
Who’s watching this one Kevin Fiala is on the wild he’s so good
Prayers.
Talk about ultimate class from the blues fans. And players. Tarensenko helping Arvi bring the stretcher over and the fans giving a standing ovation. Stay classy blues, stay classy. -preds fans.
ouch, all u see is his leg flopping after he lays there, that destroyed his knee and hip
Nickle For Your Thoughts my stomach dropped when i saw it flapping there. Damnn.
Omg, that looked painful
Besties arvi and Fiala
Ref really had the laziest possible reaction to a guy squirming in pain on the ice. And he had a front row seat to that hit, did he not think oh maybe the dude has a concussion?
"came out of his shell" - so ironic knowing that Fiala is a Cancer. Best Wishes for recovery.
Buddy looks like a real plug
He broke his femur
jeez thats horrible his leg was flopping at the end, looks like he hit his femur
"He's not that viscous player" cut to last night, cross checking an Islanders player twice while he's down.
Can't see either of these teams going all the way after how physical this series will is.
Broke his Left Femur, can see it wasted at 1:11
Yup. Complete fracture... more than likely out for a year or worse....
adam honse Thanks Internet doctor
adam honse He's out for 4-6 months so he'll return hopefully.
Clorox Bleach Longer than that probably. That was a full break by the looks of it. Not somthing you come bake from quick
That was scary. Hope Fiala is okay.
hope he's ok that looked pretty nasty
Had a 15-20 minute delay at that game. Needed to have an ambulance stationed there to continue play and a fan had a heart attack earlier that night so both of the ambulances were gone.
An ambulance wouldn’t have sped this up any faster.
@@GeoJesse Yes it would have. There are supposed to be ambulances on sight at professional sporting events like hockey games and football games, so that they are prepared for things like this.
Damn...
Prayers are with him hopefully not going to be that bad worst case ever is if he has to get surgery. But he probably broke the bone connecting to his hip. I AM NOT A DOCTOR BUT THIS IS JUST A GUESS. Praying for him tonight.
Or broke or tore
Whys that arena so empty?
2:29 look at that kid in the front row eating popcorn
RIP to his leg
😣 R.I.P Fiala's left leg
Why is everyone so surprised by the extra shove after he was taken down. Extra shoves and punches are constantly happening after hits, especially in playoff hockey... I'm not justifying the extra shove, but I am saying it is very common
RIP left leg
Players should be more careful in those situations
His hip is either sheared off a tthe ball joint or fully dislocated and some femur damage. Hope hes ok.
broke his leg
Ugh, left leg is just dangling on top of his right leg. you can see where it broke.
Looks like he broke is tibula or fibia, you can see his lower leg split in the slo mo
Ouch!
He broke his femur
I hate bortuzzo
I hope he is doing okay
He’s doing better now. He’s on the Kings and had a good season last year. He ended up fracturing his femur or the thigh bone which is the most painful bone to break
well he almost broke someone’s back... this didn’t age well
Two players playing hard, unfortunate ending.
Ta noha
its concerning but it happens
change the title of this video
He punched him at the end of the hit
TRUE Turtle Looks more like he lost his balance when he was trying to get up.
It looks like as Bortuzzo went to get up his stick was pinned under Fiala and he likely figured Fiala was holding it on purpose. So the push/punch was likely to encourage him to let his stick go.
TRUE Turtle no he didn't. He shoved him because he thought he was holding on to him.
Yeah sorta but looks like he lost his balance but it did look a little dirty
TRUE Turtle he was just finishing the check but fiala he lost an edge at the last second
I never forgave him for that hit on Steve Moore.
The Mexitroll this is a joke right
Mike Milbury I hope
The Mexitroll are you thinking of Todd Bertuzzi?
Nibble Mcnibbs he's joking
I think that stretcher needs another first aid bag or 7.
That is disgusting how he still hit him while he was down, obviously in pain. Dude is face first to the ice and Bortuzzo is like "give me my stick" what a moron.
JLPr Dude it is playoff hockey. Adrenaline is running high. I'm sure if he knew that his femur was snapped he would have immediately backed off. He probably thought he was holding his stick.
JLPr He thought he was holding his stick and it's playoff hockey he's trying to get back into the play nothing dirty.
I love how neither of you can read.
JLPr I'm not sure I understand how you came to that conclusion. It was in both cases a direct response to what you said. Maybe try some midol for your period?
Still can't read, now can you bud? Nice period joke, so clever, it really isn't.
Thats a broken leg
Момент !въезда" в борт-ужастик какой-то(((
Бортуцо ещё та редиска )
Reported broken femur and ruptured femoral artery.
damn that left leg collision looked very painful
his leg is broken that was a dirty play. If this happened to mcdavid u wouldnt here the end of it.
Hmmm, this reminds me of Brandon Manning and Conor McDavid
Oh Bortzy... Eh, I'll still take Ian Cole in exchange for you every day...
preds gonna win
Anyone notice goon Bortuzzo's intentional headshot and push into the boards....................... And the darling look-the-other-way ump just stood there and did nothing.
death2pc goon? Are you high?
1:11 Not the type of dirty dangles I like to see in hockey.
Don't like how Bortuzzo hit him afterward, though think he mistook Fiala's writhing for aggression.
that isn't blowing a wheel
DFJShragie that's literally what blowing a wheel is
Really. Last time that happened to me I wiped out without any contact. And when someone did make contact, didn't end up being smashed into the boards. Horseshit buddy, these guys know what the hell they are doing, especially when they dislike a player..
You wonder if we woulda won the cup had this not happened...
The only reason Pittsburgh repeated
Announcer is wrong. That was boarding and Fiala didn't skid until after Bortuzzo forced him hard into the boards. Should have been 10+ games for Bortuzzo. Watch the NHL protect one of the favored teams just now by suspending Johnson for boarding a Bolt (no injury). Double standards all the time = NHL.
Yea you’re a moron
1:16 when your leg isn't supposed to bend that way....gross
So is this why the game got delayed?
IamFonix yah
IamFonix they have to wait for the ambulance
Clean play but terrible outcome. It's playoffs, players won't let a guy cut in anymore or give anyone an inch of space now. Don't think Burtuzzo should be suspended.
I dont think bortuzzo should be suspended either.. the play itself was clean.
That said, Bortuzzo showed how much of a class act he is. Scumbag class.
Penndigy HILO Because he was trying to get his stick
This is rediculous. How many players are you going to let the Blues concuss?
nothing Bortuzzo could've done differently, Fiala had already begun to lose balance before he got to the boards.
That could be the femur... if it is the kid will never be the same....
this didnt age well
@@webty00 and I couldn’t be happier that it didn’t!
1:11 That leg is gone..
Disgusting after the hit, no respect you clearly see he is hurting. Man that looks to really hurt, no problem with the hit though.
Nifty Willy it looks like he lost his balance and fell because he was on his stick
Nifty Willy he was trying to get his stick he doesn't know he's hurt right away
you sure you watch hockey? that was a completely legal play. Bortuzzo thought fiala was holding him with his stick, all bortuzzo did was finish his check on his player. He had no way of knowing fiala was hurt. So bortuzzo's play was completely legal
Fractured femur that had to tickle
youngster hurt sad to see but also illegal hit that injured the youngster
And Blues fans wonder why everyone hates their team
Flyer Voracek because we play the game the right way?
Raleigh Brazier like punching a guy who is clearly not getting up, wow what a bunch of white knights for the game
Broken femur, god damn...
BobShanky And a ruptured femoral artery
That is such a suspension!
Yeah because it was clearly a clean hit
Right into the boards baby
It's playoff hockey how is that a dirty hit? Clean hit good defensive play just unlucky the way he fell into the boards.
Nothing was dirty. Unlucky fall into the boards
Are people blind? I feel like hockey fans are becoming deluded by Leafmania, can you not see the d pushing his arms forward, and then giving him a shot afterwards.
I mean we award suspensions to high sticks which are completely unpredictable and expected, but not to raging checks into the board like this?
Dirty Hit! What a bad play
PhillyTmTv Nah clean hit
PhillyTmTv u dont know Hockey
+Clorox Bleach your everywhere
Yea I don't miss him with the Pens...
Fiala lost a edge, Bortuzzo did not push him in
first
That's not funny I'm praying for him
TRUE Turtle Praying? Praying to what? The hockey gods? Thunder gods? Zeus? Wtf does "praying" do?
Sosozanyway looks like you got triggered lol or just trolling. man got hurt playing a pro sport that you nor i ever could so yeah i will pray for him as well
Sosozanyway me as well
MAVERICK0311 x I won't pray for him, that's silly. However, my thoughts go out to him and his family, I hope he recovers quickly.
There was nothing dirty about the hit at least. Even the second hit was Bortuzzo just trying to extract his stick.
One year later preds are presidents throphy winners blues aren't even in playoffs and is bortuzzo even in the nhl still
RPGeek Every Team gets unlucky.
RPGeek LMAOOOO
unnecessary hit
gimmick playoff hockey kid.
ShepLod S the hit was playoff hockey, I think he may be referring to the shove afterwards.. completely unnecessary
gimmick The hut afterwards happened because Bortuzzo thought Fiala was holding his stick and it's playoff hockey so Bortuzzo was trying to get back into the play.
Tomalo21 he pushed him because he though he was holding his stick and he wanted to get back into the play, he didnt know he was injured
He needs some milk!
femur
Blues cant win so they are trying to injure all preds players
MAGMA RAGER How pitiful you are
bortuzzo is as useless then steve ott foor mtl might be worst duh
this is a pretty misleading title. Bortuzzo made a good defensive play on Fiala, but Fiala just lost in edge with his skates too far apart. Bortuzzo had nothing to do with his injury.
Connor Rushen no the title is accurate, fiala is already stopping and once bortuzzo sees fiala is stopping he pushes him into the boards. On top of that he punch fiala while he was down
