Sam Bennett ANNIHILATES Jaccob Slavin With Massive Hit

[Danarqhy]

One of the hardest hits of these playoffs, Bennett absolutely smokes Slavin. Completely legal too. Hope Jaccob is OK.

Bennett is a goon

Completely legal too. Hope Jaccob is OK.

Concussion for sure

 

[CDJ]

I was shit talking about Bennett during the first round series but he’s honestly such a good playoff player

 

[Ezekial]

Obviously hope he's okay but that hit was insane. Looked like a vintage NHL Hits hit.

The Bennett Train

 

[TheAngryHank]

Trucked

 

[ShootIt]

Looks like a hit I pull off 20 times in nhl 23, so not impressed.



Hope Slavin is OK.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Hopefully suspended

I had almost entirely forgotten about the term until today but Slavin got absolutely starched. Basically found his default pose.

No fencing response either, which I appreciated because that's always a little upsetting. Yeah, Slavin's still hurt and nobody likes that but there's something about seeing the arms flail that makes it more real and it's easier to see this as a mixed highlight and not just a bummer because of it.

Maybe that's stupid but goddamn, I still like hits and that's about as tucked and legal as you can get while still stealing a man's soul.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

stealing a man's soul.

Causing brain injury.

Just like he did to Knies.

 

[Soundwave]

The Leafs play was just two guys getting tangled up and one was stronger. And the hit tonight was clean. Players have to keep their heads up.

Being stronger means driving another player head first into the ice? That's interesting.

That’s old news. The tonight was 100% clean. Guys need to keep their heads up. Good hard hit. Hockey is s collision sport.

Beautiful clean hit with an unfortunate result. What Leafs and Canes fans see:

 

[Jyrki]

Insane how hard the hit was even though Bennett took no extra strides.

 

[HTFN]

Causing brain injury.

Just like he did to Knies.

Trash.

Someone needs to mangle his face.

It's a contact sport, bud. Sometimes you enter collisions and lose, and you're not protecting everyone from brain injury until that part of the game is entirely gone.

If you want that, by all means, but these guys sign up for the job and know what's up.

nothing more predictable than fans of a losing team calling anybody who plays with grit, tenacity, and physicality dirty just because the team they love didn't have an answer for them and they need a way to cope. I personally loved watching TJ Oshie go from shootout specialist to "dirty piece of shit" just by playing like his life was on the line.

Or like Sam Bennett is right now.

 

[JeffroTullison]

great hit. bad start to slavin's summer

 

[Dread Clawz]

It's hilarious how many people would have aneurysms if they watched hockey before 2000. Hockey is a contact sport and this is the playoffs. Here's the world's smallest violin...

 

[Garbo Man]

Hopefully suspended

For a clean hit? Not likely

 

[Bandit]

Really surprised Slavin was completely launched off his feet considering he’s bigger and Bennett was gliding into the hit for a long distance. Pretty weird outcome. Hope his head injury isn’t too serious.

Is this Bennett hit much different than the one Svech laid on H. Lindholm last playoff?

Seemed like a hit within the rules. Slavin didn’t get any help from his teammates that Bennett was coming in on the other side of him.

 

[The Professional]

That looked like a vintage Chris Neil hit. Defender coming out of behind his own net about to try to start a break out, but not paying attention to where he's going, fore checker comes in opposite side of the net and lays him out. No charging, no elbow. Big, thunderous, but clean. You have to have your head on a swivel in that area of the ice.

Exactly, it's basically the same.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Insane how hard the hit was even though Bennett took no extra strides.

Watch his skates just before the hit, he’s pumping his legs and doing a mini c-cut to add a little speed.

Yeah maybe it’s not a charge but he’s not totally gliding into the hit either.

He knows how to toe the line

Good thing you weren't around in the 80s and 90s

Hopefully bennett is on the receiving end soon. Oh I'd love to see it.
