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 looks a lot worse in slow motion IMO. It shows Benn having a lot more time to make up his mind than he did in real time.

I do think it's a penalty. But Carlo is hitting the brakes earlier than most defenseman would in that situation and Benn is in pursuit. He also just doesn't seem prepared for contact. He's got his feet firmly planted, when really he should be expecting contact and letting himself bounce off Benn's hit a bit by being light on his skates.

I guess what I'll say is it certainly would be far from outrageous if they ruled it a major. It is a hit in the numbers at a high rate of speed and it's not one of those "quick turn" situations. But just because it doesn't fit that classification does not mean Carlo doesn't put himself in a bad spot. Just my two cents.

Back in 2017 Carlo got his by Ovie from behind and I think Ovie did not get suspended either. Then Ovie's bodyguard Wilson got Carlo too (2021) with a dirty hit from behind.

I took a break from here after the hit on Carlo

So after a few deep breaths after two absolutely horse bleep calls that should get both refs sent back the the ECHL

If I were the Bs coach ..i right now I would be saying I don't care what the final score is....but every time, and I mean every time you have a chance to hit someone from the Stars you do....and if I see a single fly by tomorrow I will skate you until you puke

It was an obvious boarding major and you think Carlo is partially to blame. Now that is funny

I've had good conversations with a couple of posters that, like you, don't agree with me on the matter. The back and forth with you seems to be the only convo not going anywhere beyond petulant sniping.

Hmmm...I wonder why that is. What's the deciding factor there?

Easy. You are wrong. You keep asking the same question and expecting a different answer. Not going to happen
