Matt Petgrave is facing heavy criticism online after horrific accident
Just a few days after Adam Johnson was hit with a skate blade during an EIHL game, the player who made the unfortunate play his facing backlash online.
Petgrave had to shut down his social media accounts
Shortly after the terrible incident, Petgrave was forced to shut down all of his social media accounts after receiving a huge amount of hate online.
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.
