Sam Bennett needs to be targeted next. He’s by far the worst offender of all of the DOPS issues that the Florida Panthers are guilty with an every team needs to target him to give him a taste of his own medicine and to stick it to DOPS for showing clear favoritism.
NHL is a joke, DOPS is a joke
It's very clear statement from dops that you can't bring beer league bums to hurt star players in pre-season games. If Tampa wanted go way they went they should have done it with NHL roster.
It was stupid move from team to bring those guys just to fight and injury.
And now they pay from stupidy.
Dave Mishkin on powerlunch
7-0? He's hurt
Ekblad should have a 2 game suspension, Greer should have a 4 game suspension, Panthers organization should be fined $100,000 and Paul Mauriece should be fined $25,000 then all this againt the Bolts will make sense and be fair.
7-0 cope lol
It is the fine to lighting coach is a joke with the money he makes he should be let go
Panthers never went out with a plan lighting did there no grown man going to take this shit with out protecting themselves
I believe 4 TBL thrown out of game. Two FLA players thrown out of game. OK to discipline TBL, BUT NOTHING against FLA ! Maybe fair to say there is bias.
The one thing that really gets to me is the NHL is handing out fines,the Kittens are getting cup rings WTF!
Did they get a 3rd goalie bc they’re trying to get ready for when vasy inevitably retires ? I’m still relatively new to hockey
I really dont understand all of this outrage. Everyone complains when their team gets clapped. Everyone blames everything but their own team. Every team gets away with shit. Hockey 30 years ago was way worse than it is now. The teams hate each other, so what. It makes a great rivalry to watch. You do not purposely send out an entire team from the AHL whose entire goal was to injure every player on the opposing team during a preseason game. Its in the rule book. Cry wolf all you want.
Lmfao lightning fans clutching their pearls is hilarious you guys were dirty for years , zito built our team to beat you. You never had an issue with player safety when it was your team getting away with shit but now you want to whine just because you’re losing. Get over it, we got our ass kicked by you guys plenty of times and never once sent ahl goons out to hurt your stars. Maybe if your coach wasn’t such an idiot and so blatant with his intent you wouldn’t have gotten all the punishment.
Lil sparks didn’t get enough. Bush league bullshit but typical from Tampa Gay.
I love Tampa Bay but they are on bullshit they didn't score at all lol
