My dumbass friends think it was an accident. We all played hockey growing up but apparently that high leg kick was a mistake lol. We live in Canada BTW so most kids did play growing up but to me this was obvious manslaughter
At least by my understanding, it should be murder. He clearly intended to cause harm, and that harm caused the target's death. Manslaughter is just when a benign-intentioned mistake kills someone (oops, I left my parking brake off and my car rolled into someone).
There's reasonable doubt about whether he meant to kill the other guy (murder) or was merely throwing his leg out in a dangerous and irresponsible way to block the other guy (manslaughter).
When I saw the video it looked like intention to injure Johnson(its hockey so those plays aren't uncommon) not go for the neck. I personally think it's probably involuntary manslaughter but I'm not a lawyer lol
Me when I heard someone died due to a blade to the neck, before seeing the video, and knowing no details at all: well, could have been an accident, I'll wait for the video to have a better opinion either way
After the video: 100% intentional murder. Hang the useless fuck

Manslaughter is what happens when you kill someone in the course of intentionally engaging in violence against them.
