Sam Bennett ANNIHILATES Jaccob Slavin With Massive Hit

[Colt.45Orr]

Looked like the one Svechnikov hit Lindholm with last year in rd 1

 

[viper0220]

Hopefully suspended

Ice Hockey is a contact sport.

 

[ijuka]

That's boarding.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It didn't look that big until I saw the other angle. Slavin went flying.

Slavin must've had his head down for a while to get rocked like that.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Literally launched his entire body into the air lmao. For some distance as well. That 2nd angle replay is gold . Slavin didn’t even know where he was after lol, holy shit.

 

[coolboarder]

Perfect hit, can't complain. I'm for protecting players asset but this one is perfect example of how it should be without dirty play unlike Benn.

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Dirty play not sure why would be applauding this.

It's a perfectly legal hit.

 

[Deadmaus]

Clean hit

 

[ijuka]

It's a perfectly legal hit.

It's literally boarding, though.

 

[norrisnick]

Has the opportunity to take a loose puck away and step out front. Decides to blow up the player instead.

Good job?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It's literally boarding, though.

It literally isn't.

Slavin lands at the bottom of the boards because of the ridiculous distance he flew. That's not boarding.

It is boarding. From NHL rules:

"A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player who checks or pushes a defenseless opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to hit or impact the boards violently or dangerously."

The head hitting the boards, even at the bottom of the boards, is dangerous. The opponent also quite clearly is defenseless. It's textbook boarding.

No he didn't. Slavin was making a play on the puck. It's not like it was sitting there for the taking.

He separated the player from the puck creating a turnover. That's a hockey play.

Except it isn't. Slavin didn't hit the boards violently or dangerously. Just because a player makes contact with the boards does not make it boarding.

This is a legal hit.

Causing brain injury.

Just like he did to Knies.

If that was Bunting delivering that hit Leafs Nation would be peeling their boxers off of their legs and going on about how good Bunting is at hitting.

It was a clean hit.

What? The only play there is through the body first, you play the puck you're going to get f***ing clowned if Slavin sees you, and you should expect him to.

he technically hits them and that does suck but it's not what you'd call an expected outcome. Bennett isn't wondering how far he can throw him, he's expecting Slavin to get his head up and provide resistance.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Legal hit with unfortunate result.

Slavin is a warrior, hope it isn't serious.

He’s neither defenceless nor was he hit violently or dangerously into the boards.

Defenceless is usually a guy who is in a vulnerable position, facing the boards or off balance or something, often they can’t see the hit coming. This was right through the chest.

Bennett was throwing an open ice hit, decent distance from the boards, no intention to launch Slavin into the boards. This just isn’t boarding.

 

[jiboy]

Older I get and the less I like these hits.

Charging into an opponent in his blindsight and giving him a concussion is reckless and these hits will have to be removed at some point.

He did not need to go so fast to separate him from the puck , playoffs or not.

 

[KingsHockey24]

You love to see it.

His impact with the boards wasn’t violent or dangerous. Barely touched the boards. Back to soccer you go

That's not charging, he's not even playing Slavin until he's passed the circles and is allowed to adapt to the play as it unfolds. Takes zero strides, like two c-cuts, there's nothing there.

His impact with the boards wasn’t violent or dangerous. Barely touched the boards. Back to soccer you go

That said, his impact with the boards was violent and probably f***ing sucked. The low part is the most rigid and landing right in that little corner f***ing blows. It's not boarding because who expected him to fly in the air like a pop-tart but landing there sucks serious ass.

 

[norrisnick]

No he didn't. Slavin was making a play on the puck. It's not like it was sitting there for the taking.

Slavin did not have control of that puck. There for the taking.

 

[CanadienShark]

Wow that was a hit. Slavin looks confused, if not concussed.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Hope Slavin is okay. He was rocked pretty good.
