The head shake that just about every goalie does every 20s in a game?

Ya, that seemed pretty innocuous to me, but I'm no doctor.

 

[Zero1]

Bring in Reaves and let him get suspended.

 

[Stephen]

Wouldn't mind Berube go Pat Burns on Barry Melrose on the bench on Paul Maurice.

 

[kevsh]

The stretcher was quite possibly just a precaution as any sign of a concussion + vomiting has to be taken very seriously (as pointed out in this thread several times already). They can't have him walking, even with help and risk him collapsing.

In any case, I would be very surprised if he's back between the pipes anytime soon.

Berube on saying there was clear intent to injure.

Good on Berube, not measuring words.

 

[The Apologist]

I would be shocked if he's not suspended for the rest of the series. 100 % intentional hit to the head. The department of player safety takes these things very seriously.

You forget the two teams involved.

I'm not either but that doctor doesn't sound like he watches hockey all that much either.

This league barely suspends players for decapitating their heads off. It will likely be nothing, or at most a game.

It will be seen as an oopsie play.

We need to oopsie Bob in game two.

Bennett is a complete piece of shit. f***ing lowlife bum, he used to be teammates with Stolie too.

Hopefully the NHL actually does something this time, it's getting a lot of attention and they react based on outcomes rather than the action, which is f***ing stupid but hey Stolarz left on a god damn stretcher so something better happen.

That was no oopsie. You can see it clear as day in the replay that he sticks out his arm

I hope this is an In person hearing.

Bennett is one dirty player. It was obvious he'd try something early in the series.

 

[francis246]

I really hope we go up in this series.
Then we can dress Reaves

Reaves knows his role very well and was actually good for few games last year

At no point do I want to see Reaves dressed in this series.

Need to bring Kyper out of retirement for one last mission.

Yeah I think this guy is forgetting that goalies do this all the time to adjust their mask.

Definitely makes sense for other sports / players though.

Dirty player, dirty team. Ekblad gets 2 games for Hagel, after 20 games for Roids. Tkachuck was lucky not to get a suspension on Guentzel hit... it's the way the team plays, it's their strategy... every year, nearly every series.

Send a message.

I've thought this too but that NHLPA has absolutely zero shame at all the way they stick their head in the sand. They learned long ago that there is no requirement of competency, so they can play favourites all they like.

Looked like he was making sure the mask was on. I’m not minimizing the injury, but that’s obviously what that shake was. Doc hasn’t played goal. Sure it could be a combo puck to the mask elbow to the head. Doesn’t matter, Bennett is going to pay one way or the other.

 

[torontoblood]

I’m waiting until official confirmation from the leafs doctors. Tuning out All these rumours and speculations on social media

The nhlpa is as guilty as anyone about all this. They've actively decided they in will out more efforts into protecting dirty players than protecting injured ones.

Regardless he’s probably not going to be available for at leafs game 2. Even if it’s best case scenario.
