Pre-Game Talk: ECF Series Talk: Rat Bastards versus Boring Jerks

It was a clean hit, caught him with his head down, and I want to say it was in the 3rd period of Game 4, so the writing on the wall was already there
I thought I remembered it being early in the 1st, which made it all the more impressive they only lost right at the very end on the PP since they didn't have their best d-man for 55 mins.

It was clean, and Slavin has a fascinating breakdown of it somewhere. As he was going back for the puck he did a shoulder check like he was supposed to, but at the split second he did, Bennett was completely eclipsed by Martinook (meaning, Martinook was perfectly in between Bennett and Slavin) so it looked like no one was coming.

Funny that even in his career lowlight he didn’t really get caught with his head down he just kind of got unlucky.
