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

[PromisedLand]

Stolarz was seen vomiting on the bench because of the hit to the head




Are headshots legal now? or is the League going to do the right thing and suspend bennet?

 

[eviohh26]

I don't think that took him out of the game. It wasn't much but very well could have been called Goalie Interference. I Imagine he just playing sick.

 

[bleedthenorth]

Panthers would be nothing without a tax advantage and the league protecting all of their cheap shots

 

[Vukotal Recall]

That's a strange one. Did he do it on purpose? Of course. But by NHL standards (and Bennett) it was very tame. Must've been the way his neck bent? Dirty as hell, but sneaky enough to get away with it without even the usual NHL fig leaf minor discipline.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Puking from a concussion is a really bad concussion. I hope it’s unrelated. As a Sens fan who can’t stand Toronto, even I can see that was a cheap shot. Pretty intentional. Hate seeing shit like that, no matter how much I dislike a team you never want that.

 

[Zerotonine]

Possibly incidental but there wasn't much contact to boot. Doesn't help who the culprit is that's for sure

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

This should be a suspension and shouldn't be allowed to happen.

 

[Sheppy]

Hahahah, Bennett just can’t help himself

 

[Mr Positive]

Imo should be a one game suspension or else why not just do this all the time?

 

[Laus723]

He also took a shot from Reino off the face.

Dunno how that made him yack on the bench while others have been hit like that since forever and stayed in. Hell Vokoun got whacked by Ballard and stayed in.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

He caught him almost behind the head like a rabbit punch.

Not surprised that caused a concussion even if it didn’t look like a huge amount of force.

 

[Shonky]

Bennett is one of those guys.. love to have hate to play him.

 

[Danarqhy]

100% headshotted him on purpose. That second swing after he looks and sees Stolarz is vulnerable doesn't happen by accident.

 

[pcruz]

There have been 2 Toronto players taken off the ice for concussion-related matters this post-season.

Concussion spotters took 1 player off in OT, to the quiet room.
Stolarz looks like he's actually concussed.

There have been a grand total of 0 penalty minutes assessed for these.


What a f***ing joke this league is.

Kadri was getting indefinite suspensions, and these guys don't even get minor penalties.

 

[MikeyMike01]

This is a nothing burger play

 

[Incognito]

Bennett is one of those guys.. love to have hate to play him.

Many of his actions on the ice are not hockey plays though. Intentionally injuring the other team’s players isn’t a strategy or gamesmanship. It’s just rat f***ery.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Step 1: Fall asleep with the Leafs up 2-0, can't fight it off.

Step 2: Wake up and it's 3-2 Leafs, Stolarz is f***ed.

Step 3: Knies f***ing scores.

This is not going to be an easy series for the Leafs. Let's not go Habs and call 911 for a softy headshot on our goalie.

Let's win this f'n game!

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Guess I have to re-word my post? Stolarz barely got touched, he is very fragile if that concussed him

 

[NVious]

This is a nothing burger play

Why was Stolarz puking then?

I get the standard for Florida is "did he blatantly try to kill the guy" and not "is a dirty guy doing something dirty again" but an elbow to the side/back of the head of an unsuspecting goalie at that is extremely dangerous.

Thats just the type of player Bennet is. A cheap shot idiot.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Kadri, 5 game suspension for taking out Stolz

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

SOFT

He barely touched him.

Looks like the Leafs might finally taste playoff success now that the NHL has completely neutered the playoffs.

 

[TRG]

I mean, he's dirty, yes, but that looked quite soft.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Didn't the Leafs give Reaves a 5 year contract?

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Barely touched him.
