Unsurprisingly, the incident has become a prominent topic of discussion recently. But the speculations circulating on social media, suggesting that it may not have been an accident, have found their way onto national television.
When questioned about the incident, Wayne Gretzky, one of the NHL's greatest players, had this to say, referring to Johnson's passing as a 'so-called accident'.
Gretzky may need to clarify his comments, given the strong reaction on social media. But in light of the ongoing situation, we hope that Gretzky isn't implying what many people fear he might be.
