2 - 0 is the most dangerous lead in hockey.
Glad Boston scored next.
Different game now rather than Dallas up by 3.
Swayman with some big saves to keep game in reach in first period.

Not a popular opinion (I'm guessing without looking at the responses), but that's partially on Carlo. He stops up like around the goal line with Benn hot in pursuit. You don't expect a guy to throw on the brakes right there.

Could Benn have done more to avoid that kind of contact? Likely. Did Carlo put himself in a really bad spot? Yes.

It's not as egregious as a 5 minute major and game misconduct entails. Between the two choices, I think the minor is correct.

I don't think you have this right. Carlo slows down so he can play the puck without crashing into the boards by himself. That's 100 percent on Benn, who sees numbers the entire way and is hitting Carlo from behind whether or not Carlo slows down or not.

It doesn't matter if Carlo stopped. Benn is ALWAYS facing his numbers. It's on him, not Carlo. It's reckless. It's dangerous. It's totally avoidable. What is Carlo supposed to do? Not play the puck? Not brace for contact?

And what is Benn planning for? Carlo to loop around the net? He can't assume that! It's a really bad hit. Easy major.

Hope carlo out for the 2nd.

Absolutely no chance nor should he be with his history.

And with the major a game misconduct ejection. No more Benn in this one.

This laughably soft coach is going to ensure Benn has a comfortable remaining night unfortunately.
