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

[HofT]

Lol okay, I'm not arguing with some rando when the guy is literally a specialist on the subject. You're right, well done.

If he was that good then he would have called it out when it happened. If you're a professional neuroscientist or doctor, you'd know better than to make assumptions on X without evaluating the person directly. And goalies make that specific head motion all the time - it's a routine adjustment to their helmets.

He's either getting a suspension or an extra million per year in his next deal for whatever spell it is he can cast on the league discipline.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Bennett is trash

 

[Crosbyfan]

Knies sarcasm intended?

 

[smakki]

Bennett plays the puck. Nothing intentional, unless you are blind.

Nice flop by Stolarz, such a minimal contact.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Nice little brush by and added forearm shivver. You can't expect Bennett not to take advantage there, it's early in the series and the refs are looking to build some excitement by letting stuff go.
It's a nothing burger fully loaded with tainted meat.

 

[Over the volcano]

Think the league is sitting on another camera angle like this time last year?

 

[mighty Stanley Duck]

Was it cheap, yes, but jeeez that was soft as hell.

 

[hatterson]

He 100% knew what he was doing, but he’s “smart” enough to do it with plausible deniability and the NHL just loves the chance to say it was an accident and not suspend one of its stars so there will be nothing that happens.

Same with when he took out Knies a couple years ago.

Same as several other times in his career.

 

[LeProspector]

I’m going to start calling Stolarz Two Ply because holy shit that was soft.

Paging Colin Campbell , your services are required!

He clearly punched him. Theres no way you 80s hockey “back in my day” boomers are defending this & saying it’s nothing

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Bennett took "elbows up" literally.


Should be suspended, though since nothing was called and clearly lead to an injury.

Knies sarcasm intended?

Dops haven't protected Leafs players since George got the gig.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Accidentally on purpose. I think Bennett has done enough of these plays that they'll hit him with probably a fine.

 

[elmaco]

Elbow to the temple and Stolarz started puking, obvious concussion. Remains to be seen was it intentional or not.

 

[slybel]

so soft.... cottonelle soft.

It's Bennett, it was intentional.

Still insane to me that this happened and just went away like it never happened.

 

[Dhockey16]

Saw some concussion expert guy said the concussion might've been from the shot to the head that knocked his mask off. Apparently he did some weird head twitch movement associated with concussions.

 

[BLNY]

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.

Grade 2 at least - having been there myself.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Meh.

 

[celtic man]

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

It actually looks like an elbow to the head that concussed a guy.

In real time I didn't think it was that bad. I thought it was an elbow but not a bad one. A concussion might suggest it was worse than it looked.

UPDATE: Stolarz left the building in a stretcher tonight

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Ekblad only got two games. So I expect Bennett to get a $2500 fine at the very most. Not the maximum fine. Just a small (see, wee did something) fine.

 

[celtic man]

The replay shot from behind the net clearly shows a head shot by bennett
