If there was a punch, the Bruins would have mentioned it. It happened right in front of them lol

I didn't even notice that last night.

it was def intentional but there was not much velocity behind it. I don't believe that could've caused the issue. the heavier collision looked to be Marchand's right side into benny's elbow. additionally, Marchand was grimacing in pain and hunched over in a way you might expect if he broke a rib, for example.

I assumed shoulder at the time, but who knows, it was a bang bang play and Bennett was the one being checked, lol

And, in the end, who cares? The Rat is out the picture and the world rejoices.
The Panthers is making the world a better place one hit at a time.

I miss Lombo’s speed and toughness but Okie looked fantastic yesterday. Don’t think he’ll be coming out this series.

Okie looks significantly better when the opposing defensemen cannot for one reason or another establish puck control and transition quickly enough.

For the life of me, why would anyone try to go at Benny especially out in the open with him fully aware.

Marchand checked Chucky pretty good do I guess he was feeling himself

Only 1 suspension because we’re paying off Parros

Remember Colin Campbell also works for Panthers because his son is with us

 

[Gentle Man]

Well there you go.

Now he's saying he punched him lol

Jim is back on the booze it seems

Jim is back on the booze it seems

Jim is trying to get his team motivated after the Pasta fight failed to get them hyped for game 3. I don't blame him.

 

[KW]

I have some song lines in mind. Like

Pasta fought the Chuck and the Chuck won.

Marchy, oooh, didn’t mean to make you cry.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Well there you go.

Now he's saying he punched him lol

Montgomery is the new Cooper just worse at coaching.

 

[Ratsreign]

Well there you go.

Now he's saying he punched him lol

Oh well, maybe for game 4 they’ll come out once again looking to “set tones and send messages”, and the Panthers will just bury them again.

Here's the angle everyone is talking about:



You can see in this one that Bennett doesn't wind up and punch him.


C'mon, Brad's an angel.

 

[wampa13jku]

I can’t believe what Bennett did to 10x Lady Byng Trophy winner Brad Marchand. Send that lumberjack looking mofo to prison!

On the replays admittedly Bennett does raise his right arm and his gloved fist may make contact with Marchand’s head. However:
1) Marchand initiated the contact (he was aiming to hit Bennett who was only intending to dump the puck and then get a line change).
2) Bennett had to prepare for a hit, knowing Marchand may have been looking for an opportunity to test his left hand (yeah, he’s equally dirty and would hit the injured hand if he got a chance).
3) Part of preparation was to protect the left hand and thus extend the right arm.
4) If that happened to connect with a significant punch to Marchand’s head, it most certainly wasn’t a sucker punch. I would congratulate Benny for the lightning fast ninja reflex and remind anyone wishing to sucker check a player who’s trying to dump the puck to not be unprepared for a counter hit.
5) The whole sequence is Marchand’s own fault.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Well there you go.

Now he's saying he punched him lol

I guess the opinión changed after the game ended because no one even reacted on the bench, or made Bennett respect the all important code later in the game.

Bennett was a wrecking ball all night, he hit Pasta a couple times with harder uncriticized hits.

If you missed it

 

[batting1k]

Kinda funny that the Bennett hit on Knies was game 2, round 2 last year. Now this hit on Marchand is game 3, lol.

Next year, Bennett hit on ?? In game 4, round 2

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

In layman's terms: "your team is too good and I don't like it."

 

[batting1k]

Well there you go.

Now he's saying he punched him lol

It’s pathetic that people question Barkov’s leadership because he refused to fight. That’s the ultimate sign of leadership there.
