Benson engaged him and Dahlin choked him from behind. I'm fine with the no call on that, as neither are good at fighting. But to make the play by Gaddy seem like headhunting is a stretch. He stepped on the ice, touched the puck, and a guy was coming fast directly at him. If Kulich steps left or right as he's skating at him, it's likely a Buffalo goal. Like I said, unfortunate.
He comes off the bench, touches the puck, initiates contact with a non-puck carrier. I understand reverse hits, but he hits a guy reaching for the puck who never actually touched it and launches upwards. It's an interference penalty. The fact that the refs called a 5 to review, and then DOWNGRADE to no penalty is honestly such a poor management of the game and the rulebook it's beyond stupid.

Benson engaging doesn't automatically mean a penalty. Dahlin maybe I could see a 2 for a rouch but he didnt really punch him or anything. If you want to call 2 on Gaddy and 2 on Dahlin, fine. But nothing for Gaddy is absolutely inexcusable by the league. He isn't looking to do anything with the puck - he launches TOWARDS Kulich. That's a penalty

Like I said, it was unfortunate. I'd be fine with a major and penalties on Benson and Dahlin, but the refs saw the original hit more like I did. As far as the puck goes, he touched it and lost it as Kulich skated into him while he was moving forward. Is he supposed to duck and take out Kulich's legs?

I'd expect him a the very least to brace or move the puck and take a hit. Not to launch into a player who isn't engaging with him. Kulich isn't engaging with him at that moment, the FLA player launches into Kulich to create the contact

Kulich skated right into him. He tucked the shoulder. We might have a different notion of launching.
 
Fair enough! Stinks too because I do like watching him play when he is firing on all cylinders
8 hits, 4 shots, one goal…make him the Forrest Gump of hockey…

Now he doesn‘t only shoot and score, he also hits…then will come.

PoMo must have talked to him.
“Jesse, do you like to be hit?”
- No, it hurts.
“Why don’t you hurt them instead?”
- I don’t understand, coach. How?
“Jesse, ffs, hit them first!”
…long pause …
- Okay, coach. Is it time.
