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 asshole humans for f*ck's sake
Outrageous Comments From Fans
The remarks directed at Petgrave are simply disgusting. Anyone who witnessed the event can vouch that it was a tragic accident. Yet, some took it upon themselves to target him, often with comments unrelated to the accident, including blatantly racist remarks.
Got people on his posts calling him a N****. Wishing death on him. F*ck, you people are horrible.
Such behavior is abominable and must be exposed. It has no place in sports, nor in society.
