Bennett hit on Stolarz (no supplemental discipline) MOD WARNING IN POST #621

[fsanford]

Bob got hit in the head with the puck in the game. Helmet is made for taking pucks to the head straight on, it's not made for taking big elbows to the side of the head.

A goalies helmet is designed to take hits from front and side.

• Side Protection:
  The helmet's design extends to the sides to cover areas where a player might be hit, such as the temple.

I don't believe Bob's hit off the head blew the helmet off his head

Seemed to be enough force to knock the helmet off. One of those shots that had enough force and angle to do damage

Bennett would beat the crap out of them.

How awkward will it be next season when Bennett signs for the Leafs?

Not happening. F*** that guy. He’d be the most hated player on the team by far. As soon as he makes a mistake the fans would be jumping on him. For his own mental health he shouldn’t sign in Toronto.

 

[Diglett]

Scumbag franchise continues to do scumbag things.

So 8.5m per year for 7 years it is.

That camera from above clearly shows that if Bennet continue his skating line he would not even touch Stolarz, but then his elbow goes back and away from the body and into head. Headshot and intention to injury clear as day.

 

[RuudeDog]

He wasn’t pushed in. Went in himself. Slight cross check and follow through with elbow. If it wasn’t Bennett I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Who knows what his means for Stolarz but you can’t have guys hit the goalie on their own accord whether he disguises it or not.

lol good one.

 

[BullyHockey]

Not all shots are created equal. Just because goalies aren't injured often, doesn't mean it didn't happen here.

A shot the dome combined with an elbow is probably gonna do some damage.

People are making long reaching assumptions. What I saw was a player with the reputation of a scumbag give a goalie an elbow to the head.

At the end of the day we can pull reasons out or we can just use our damn eyes; something the league does not do with Bennett.

lol good one.

I mean when he does it for your team against the Bruins all you guys will be praising him for tough hockey play.

The Bennet hit added to the problem and have no problem with everything being reviewed.

Leafs play tough but within the rules. Bennett does not.

 

[I am not exposed]

Leafs play tough but within the rules. Bennett does not.

But when Bennett makes the same plays when he signs for the Leafs will you say the same thing? Probably....

Clear as day

 

[winnipegger]

The League has two choices, give Bennett the suspension he deserves or be prepared for a Bob injury next game.

f*** that don't go after bob. That's acting like Bennett. Dress Reaves and as soon as dipshit hops over the boards for his first shift of the game send Reaves out to take care of the problem. If the league won't protect the goalie or punish the aggressor that's why enforcers exist.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

"just a 2 minute penalty super soft" meanwhile the guy is in the hospital a few hours later, classic HF

 

[Antiramie]

I fully expect Stolarz to get fined $5k for his head bruising Bennett's hand.

 

[Blue and Green]

Bennett can't fight, he's tough on suspecting players.

Uh, what? I'm no fan of the Panthers, and Bennett is greasy, but he's been a pretty good fighter. Domi's the only guy in tonight's Leafs lineup who ought to be messing with Bennett-- and they fought last season and Bennett got the better of him.

Enter Ryan reeves

To fight, sure, but he's a detriment as a player.

 

[Divine]

Bennett's history:

Accidentally concussed Knies in the 2023 playoffs
Accidentally concussed Marchand in the 2024 playoffs
Accidentally concussed Stolarz in the 2025 playoffs

Am I missing anyone? This guy must be the most unlucky forward of all time.

 

[Moose Head]

f*** that don't go after bob. That's acting like Bennett. Dress Reaves and as soon as dipshit hops over the boards for his first shift of the game send Reaves out to take care of the problem. If the league won't protect the goalie or punish the aggressor that's why enforcers exist.

And the Panthers get a 7 minute power play to start the game. How does that help win the game?

 

[All Mod Cons]

I didn't find Florida to be overly physical in all honesty. Just a crazy amount of cheap shots, which seems to be their mo

Reaves is far from a dirty player.

I don't know where the belief is that he is some sort of rat, but he is a very clean player for the role he plays.

 

[HofT]

Always dirty drama with Florida. It's actually exhausting and isn't a great product to watch when hockey is relegated to cheap shots that injure players. It makes the product worse.

Wow, looking at the top down it looks clearly targeted which changes things a lot for me. Not only that but he gets him near the back of the head which can do a lot of damage to an unsuspecting person.

I wonder what DOPS will do?

 

[Mitch nylander]

Why didn't any of the Leafs beat the crap out of Bennett?

I asked the same thing.
