Matt Petgrave had to lock all of his socials due to death threats, & people just being absolute scumbag humans. I've met Matt plenty of times. If you think because he has a lot of penalty minutes that he's a horrible human, you're wrong. Quit being a**hole humans for f***'s sake

Petgrave also received many racist comments and there is an ongoing Twitter war between political accounts who think this was intentional and everybody else who thinks it was an unintentional fluke accident.
