Not a MASSIVE elbow to the head. Want to see massive? Watch Washington’s goalie getting steamrolled by his own guy. Bennett did hit him, but let’s be real. There has to be another reason (I’ve read he took a puck to the head before this), cause if that is all it took to take him out, he never would have made it past peewee hockey let alone junior, AHL, international tournaments, practices etc.
I am Canadian. This is not a dirty play, he was not maliciously trying to hurt Stolarz he was following through with the play. Stolarz should have been taken off the ice after he got hit in the head by the puck the 1st shot of the game. The trainers left him in so this is all on them.
This is the Kadri Bennington situation all over again. It’s nothing but because of Bennetts reputation it’s being blown up. I am far far from a Bennett apologist but this just seems overblown
Considering bennet has intentionally injured a player in the past 3 playoffs yea he should be suspended but he must be giving the gawk gawk 3000 to the league to keep them looking a different way
They showed the closeup on camera of Marchand knies and stolarz…but nothing is done….insanity…..if it was a leaf player running guys there would be multi game suspensions
It was NOT a 'massive elbow to the head' that CAUSED the concussion, it was Bennett TWISTING Stolarz neck – a very common concussion cause. Yes, Bennett elbows the G's head, but it's the intentional follow-thru and bending of his head & neck that caused the problem. Several doctors have weighed in on this saying that was the case. ALSO, stop with the idiotic claim he rec'd the concussion when he took a shot off the mask a period earlier. That is NOT going to cause a concussion.
I couldnt see any "massive" elbow in this clip. I could see a little touch to the mask from Bennett, but if thats a MASSIVE elbow, then these guys really need to start wonder if its not football they should play.
And since im not from the 3rd world of America, I of course mean real football, not the one you need tights and play with your hands. (funny to call something football thats mostly played with you hands)
You leafs fans are so dumb. It obviously wasnt intentional, plus stolarz kinda deserved it for fighting ridley greig in the 1st round. Bennett wouldnt do this on purpose, he is friends with stolarz. Plus it wouldnt have changed anything anyway. Classic maple leafs choke, they sucked as always. Sybau.

sucker punch by a POS player
The rarely i follow NHL is never now. You allow players like Marchand and this idiot to get away with the shit they do. Bye
Good lord are the Leafs soft.
Massive hit 😅 he was hardly touched. He left the game cause he was sick.
brow as yacking after thats some pretty serious hit if ur vomiting after
I’m not a fan of either team. Leaf fans being biased here, that was a light brush at best
Massive elbow ? 😂 Gotta love the media !
C’mon , nothing massive there

That IS an Attack! That is NOT an 'oops' into the goalie. If he has a concussion, Sam Bennett should be suspended, and fined.
At least goalie interference. I dont think anything else is needed. I know his back ground, but come on people
He smooshed his head into his body. It wasn't the hit. Look at his neck twist. Bennett is as dirty as it gets.
He got smashed by a puck in the head earlier in the game and was likely concussed from that. This was not that violent of a connection.
No
Regardless, it's unnecessary, and bennett should be laid out at next game or suspended. It's unwritten rule you dont do that
Commentator: "This is where goalies have to be careful." 😫
Typical cheap shot shit by Bennett. Suspend and fine him !
Yes

As a Panthers fan (not a hockey player) tbh he should be suspended because stolarz already had a concussion and I bet Sam bennet knew it too so ye😊
You can justify the contact but not the follow-through
Yes
No it's not intchinle
Massive? I'm a Leafs fan. It was a bump.
hell yes
If you call that a massive elbow you've never watched a game of hockey
All these soft ass leaf fans, makes me want to become a panthers fan
Stolarz took a heater straight to the dome that knocked his helmet off right before that idiots😂😂😂soft asl
That was weak, compared to others seriously! This is Hockey!
That was a tap, people are freaking out over this bullshit.
That's not a hit to the head.
Dirty team Florida is….
Kinda looked weak
They showed the closeup on camera of Marchand knies and stolarz…but nothing is done….insanity…..if it was a leaf player running guys there would be multi game suspensions
The whining coming out of TO is delicious.😂
It looks intentional
Tou can see when his arm releases from Stolarz head, it speeds up, meaning he was applying preasure qhen he hit him. It was on purpose.
Yes 100000000000000%
Bennet should get a 3 game suspension at least…
Stolarz hasn’t been back for the last 2 games and probably won’t be back till game 5 😔
Massive? Smh.

It was not a massive blow to the head. For proof…just ah, watch the video
