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

Actually I do, which is why it's far more likely for a concussion to be caused by an elbow than by a wrister hitting a goalie mask. And okay, so you think a wrister is going to cause such a whiplash? A puck just doesn't have enough mass.

It's kind of funny seeing you first saying I don't understand concussions, and then giving examples that support my point. A ring hitting a specific spot is the very opposite of a goalie mask, which is designed to spread the impact onto the entire face. It's very different from getting hit by a puck raw.

Of course, it's possible to get concussed by a puck shot at the helmet, but the example right there isn't a particularly hard shot and goalie masks are designed to absorb such impacts. I guess it would technically be possible, but far less likely to be the cause than an elbow to the head.

Except that there was no elbow to the head…
 
It wasn't a hard contact probably should of got a 2 but the Leafs got to get back at Bennett you can't let them touch your goalie like that.
 
They got two more heads hits left before a suspension. The league refuses to address the rat pack. They could have sent a message in the prior series but gave them multiple free passes because they only hit players with the puck.
 
We will see if the league cares about player safety or not. Bennett is a snake and the NHL needs to actually step up with this Florida nonsense.

This guy’s playing on the same line as a rat that he concussed with a sneaky punch. No punishment.

Same guy that concussed Knies. No punishment.

Now he concussed a guy he won a cup with last year. No on ice punishment.

Safe to say DoPS won’t do a thing about this one.

Fair to say he needs to be punished. If the league doesn’t wanna do it it’s time for an opponent to do it.
 
Gpt says delayed vomiting means swelling so the next hit made it worse no matter how hard it was

Cte spotters missed the 1st one?
I think it's pretty well established that the first incident that causes the concussion isn't necessarily the worst one. It's the subsequent trauma while already concussed that is really scary and potentially dangerous.

Makes this elbow to the back of the head of a player who's already concussed even worse, in that context.
 
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.

Nah, they know a fine will just piss people off. They’ll do nothing and hope people forget about it. Their media partners will get the message to stop showing the highlight over the coming days. Like when Sportsnet deleted its tweet of Tavares getting beaned in the head by Zub.

Yeah I think the Zub one was worse than this tbh (at least in the sense that it was way more obvious and you couldn't use the 'incidental' argument) and it was brushed under the rug.

Lol holy smokes you guys are something else. TAVARES SKATED INTO HIM. What is he supposed to do? Give up that ice?.... right in front of the net. You can tell who has actually played the sport with these types of comments. Mike Johnson known leaf supporters former leaf had this exact take. There is responsibility on the player to know where he is on the ice. Do you think Tamev or McCabe would just let a player skate into that space?..

So much whining. There was two penalties on Toronto before nylanders second goal. Not a peep from any of you Homer's.
