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

Bennett is just a perfectly clean player...that happens to sneakily concuss players multiple times a year. Nothing to see here. He is going to have a full team of players on his "legally gave a concussion" too before long.

All the experts here know that The Leafs have the league in their back pocket - have for decades, so Bennett will be suspended for the series - it's likely he was already suspended last night before he got off the ice, they just haven't gotten around to announce it yet. And the HFBoard Experts are NEVER wrong - they know everything! Damn this NHL and their Leaf Favouratism!! Just handing over Stanley Cup after Stanley Cup to those TML Bastards. Because that's how payoffs work right? You bribe the officials and they give you all the important calls and let you win.

If the Leafs have the NHL is their back pocket, how is it that they have not won a Stanley Cup since before most of the folks posting here were born?

I think he did it on purpose. IMO, he did it to distract him more than anything. It wasn't violent or predatory, but he still injured him. It's a 2min penalty in game and maybe 1 game suspension

I missed the game but read about Stolarz injury and that Bennet was involved. Read much of the game thread to get an understanding. From a lot of posts Bennett elbowed Stolarz in the head. Then I watched the video of what happened. It looked like incidental bump. Not much at all really. I picked the Leafs in five. still do.

What you just did is something many others have been unable to. Separate their pick/fandom from the "incident."

I agree with you. I didnt see it live either and assumed based on reading that something happened. Then I seen the video and was very underwhelmed. The lack of commentator and fan reaction in the moment says it all about this was a nothing play, and the reaction after the fact is because of the unfortunate injury, not the contact

its funny on the nfl side being the cowboys fan (the leafs equivalent) everyone says they get all the calls in their favor. Every bad call in their favor gets media hype while the rest dont get anything. That one lions game comes to mind

Reality is always in the middle
 
I have zero idea what the standard is for a suspension in the playoffs.

Feel free to YouTube it but the 2 Kadri suspensions as a Leaf and then the Bunting one...and so far we've had cross checks to our player's neck in round 1 and then a deliberate blow to the head to start this series with zero supplemental discipline.

I feel like if the offending player was a Leaf, the player is suspended because they have been in the past.

The puking thing is not something I can recall happening from a concussion on the bench like that.

I recall Colby Armstrong tried playing through a concussion years back and his teammates sounded the alarm when they found him puking in the bathroom.

So maybe it was the double impact of the shot + the contact with Bennett.

Stolarz appears to do another head shake right before the sequence with Bennett. He might have been trying to adjust his mask, or getting visual on the puck, but it's been pointed out as a concussion symptom.

Goalies do the head shake all the time (source: I am a goalie), it is definitely not inductive of a concussion and has everything to do with how ill-fitting the masks are and trying to get a better line of sight or even feel. Or sometimes as little as trying to get sweat away from the eyes/face.

The concussion Dr might be accurate on most cases, but hes obviously never observed goalies enough if he doesn't recognize this twitch as something normal

Dude is a neuroscientist that specializes in concussions, I'm sure they have symptomatic data they've mapped.

Right...more blindly trust the experts nonsense. Have we learned nothing? Some people have agendas and/or are generally incompetent across all professions. From janitor to rocket scientist. This appeal to authority nonsense needs to stop. He was a WWE superstar turned CTE advocate/spokesperson.

Common sense would tell you that 72% of people that shake their head slightly after contact (object, hit, whatever) don't have a concussion. Give me a break. Dude gets funding for CTE research and is an author and speaker. His number is laughable and not remotely believable to anyone that's played a contact sport. Now, I'm sure you could splice the data and cherry pick samples do arrive at this trash pre-conceived notion (as you can with literally anything)....FUN WITH NUMBERS BABY. But he screwed up...he needs to at least make his lie believable....for most people anyway.

:laugh: I'm in the camp that the puck to the dome was the main cause here, but that "72% headshake predicting concussion" junk is one of the most nonsensical "statistics" I've ever seen. That dude should be embarrassed. How the hell do you measure that? This is fun with numbers. Not remotely believable.

Please, feel free to show us all your extensive background in researching and studying concussions and head trauma.

Yeah also a former goalie...shaking out the mask is something you do almost every single time you put the mask back on lol

As I already pointed out, I'm well aware of goalies doing the head shake to adjust the mask, get a better feel. But it being "definitely not inductive" of a concussion in this case can't be said with certainty.
