That doesn't look accidental at all. Seemed super intentional right on the surface.

Dirty play. Tough for the Leafs as they'd like the guy as their 2C.

Exactly, I said TRY to make it look accidental, unlike Chatfield.

I'd rather keep Tavares, he's been phenomenal this year. Bring him back at 7M and I'm happy with it.

He's a good player for sure. He is so rooted into Toronto that I'd start with 5M for 2-3 years. Leafs should keep the guy for sure.

The Leafs will more than likely overpay him for his services. If Tavares was at all interested in signing a 3yr/15M deal, he would have signed it already. But he's more than likely asking for 7+, which is why there is no contract as of yet.

What I'm saying is I don't think he tried to make it look accidental at all. He made it look on purpose, just like Chatfield.

Lol, he does play with an edge, you would love to have him, I love that he's a Panther...that was dirty.

 

[Gjman2019]

Free agancy can be very unpredictable but in this case both of them probably stay where they are...Most likely scenario.

I have a feeling they'll re-sign him 3 years 6/yr

Play that literally happens every game, whatever.

The most thread-worthy thing from that video is the Leafs reaction to it. Nobody even gives him a face wash. The biggest reaction is by the goalie who puts his stick up in the air to call for a penalty. And Tavares himself, who it looks like is scared to make eye contact with Bennett and might say "ouch"

Might need to buy a bennet jersey

Nice to see the usual suspects here

Surely has nothing to do with the other 4 skaters actually playing hockey and making a play for the puck instead of looking backwards at what's happening behind their own net. Great evaluation.

Sam Bennett is the GOAT

If you showed me that replay and stopped it when Tavares hit the ice, I’d say it was a cheap shot for sure.

But everyone’s body language after the play kind of tells a different story. We’ll never know what Bennett said to Tavares, but the way he said it seemed pretty nonchalant and Tavares didn’t look to the ref to do anything about it. Nor did Bennett look like he was ready to defend himself from retribution.

Leaf jokes aside, the guys on the ice usually jump in pretty fast if there’s a real issue. For everyone to just kind of stand around and get ready for the next faceoff, suggests it was incidental contact between two guys who had their eyes on the puck instead of each other’s skates.

It was a greasy play at the end of the game, but I also noticed the lack of a response.

You wouldn't expect anything from the other Leafs on the ice, but you think JT would at least give Bennett a hack or stick a glove in his face or something?!
