Injury Report: Stolarz Stretchered Out Of SBA During Game 1

Bennett may be able to explain this away as accidental. You can see he stepped on Stolarz’ stick and slips right before his arm extends.

It likely was at least partially deliberate, but I’m not sure how the DOPS handles the issue of proof of intent.
 
The only thing is I think the leafs are on the phone right now saying this is twice. They will bring up the Marchand sucker punch and the Knies slam. I think he’s getting 1 game, the fact that he didn’t come out to speak to the media is telling. If it was unintentional, you come out and say I didn’t mean to do it and own it.

He’s probably getting 1 or 2. Too much noise around this one and leafs will/are already calling Parros about this one.
Its three years in a row. Knies, Marchant, and Stolly (so far).

He hit him in the head, he concussed him, he clearly wasn't forced into that position on the ice

I don't think woops is a great defense but it is the DOPS so who knows
 
From my seats in upper deck it looked like a cheap forearm shot to head when Stolly wasn't looking .. hope kid does not have a brain bleed .. you never know it must be thoroughly checked out at hospital with a ctscan .. bottom line is NHL has to suspend anyone who makes an intentional shot to head like that especially a repeat offender .. otherwise next game becomes a sh*t show from puck drop .. Knies wants a piece of Bennett too .. Jarnkrok out Reaves in assuming NHL does nothing

I'm thinking that helmet removing shot off the head started the issue
 
If Bennet doesnt get suspended, it will send a message that its free season on Leafs players. Can't have this. More people will get hurt.

I think Reaves can be a good net front presence on the PP. Just try to stickhandle through the crease and he may score a few goals.
