Great job by JN here.. took care of his own business. Bennett can be a dirty player and that hit was classless and dangerous Bennett threw on a basically defenseless player. He may not have won the scrap but he for sure gained respect from both teams and players will think twice before throwing a dirty hit on him again! Be nice to see Bennett fight a legit tough guy.
Don’t care about either team, just a hockey fan. In this case the other guy wanted to fight from the previous hit so I get it. That said, Bennett won’t fight a legitimate tough guy, he is a punk
For Gods sake NHL refs make the right call the first time. Bennett should have got at least 2 for that hit. Probably more, then no fight needed and I am a fan of fighting.
Just suspend the guy for a dirty hit, and ole Jake doesn't need to put his head on the line (again) to even the score. Really, dude lost again… so this is all just sad.
Things happen in the game. Take a number/name. The next time on ice or next game, you do this. Both knew it was going to happen. And then it does and it's over and done with. Players might dislike others for longer time or for the rest of whatever time they feel like it. But this ends the issue. It's the players "policing" themselves. Notice at the end when Bennett gets up he looks at Neighbors and makes sure he's not hurt?

kudos to neighbours for handling it himself

Good for Neighbours!

Hockey fights today these guys should all play tennis!
Bennett isn’t that tough , he’s always a no show when the top fighters come to town
Bennet's a Hairdresser
Nothing landed
Bennett naturally kicking ass
This is why fighting is needed both guys new the deal n both handle it
Really sad the Blues don't have an enforcer. So Neighbors has to take more head trauma. What has happened to hockey?
Not sure I've ever seen a fight I wanted both guys to lose.
A beautiful moment in hockey, this is like a court room trial that ends in 60 seconds. Big respect to both of them.

Hockey fights are a joke these days.
I'm surprised Tafuckface didn't jump in to save his boyfriend
Bennett is a dbag. Who hits someone in the head like that
panthers are penalty free team
Just suspend the guy for a dirty hit, and ole Jake doesn't need to put his head on the line (again) to even the score. Really, dude lost again… so this is all just sad.
If they would let these guys take their helmets off and just have a normal fight
Insane that Bennett didn’t get a penalty for that hit. The NHL loooooves the Panthers
Good. Done. Now everyone can carry on.
Neighbors turtled. Maybe tough guy is not for you
Bennett handling business.. easy work
I thought Mister Rogers told us to always love your neighbours.
Sam Bennet should be out of the league. He's a dirty piece of trash that doesn't belong in a stand up short like hockey
Super Benett!!!
It's funny you have never seen Sam Bennett go after Tom Wilson have ya?
Bennet never goes against anyone with cred, it's about time he's put in his place, but it won't happen because he'll run away and hop on the bench
The game started with a planned fight? So now the NHL is using elements from WWE wrestling? Maybe the NHL should change their name to NHE.
You Bennett and Tkachuk haters kill me 😂😂
Bennett seems like kind of a prick.
Regardless why, its good to see Bennett making sure Neighbours was ok after he hit the ice.
I’m not even close to a Panthers Fan, but Sam Bennett can be on my team any-day. He’s productive, tough as nails, and can fight a bit.
jake neighbors is a studf for standing up, but needs to take some fighting lessons.
