Hey trigger time, Thompson won every he was in. He did break his hand on someone's face once and missed substantial time. I'd rather have him on the ice.
100% charging, probably only 2 mins tho, but NHL only cares about hooking, ya can't tap the hands with a stick. They want more goals but who cares about player safety.
I love hockey but the NHL version is often an inconsistent joke, just look at the Gudas suspension or last years finals watching the Oilers get boned by the refs. All playoffs Bennett was allowed to intentionally fall on goalies attempting to injure them but they never addressed it, gave the rat the MVP instead of suspensions
The NHL has a huge issue with player safety and dealing with dirty hits. This can't be lumped into that category though this was a good hit in any leauge at any time that allows hitting. It was a situation where a small guy went up against a big guy and so the outcome is worse than normal but idk, hockey is a funny game in that sometimes players hit and sometimes they play the puck and the consequences are often much greater in the NHL due to the size/strength of some guys. Look at OT highlight video tonight from MTL and Boston. There was a moment before Caufield scored when he was in his own end behind the net and had the puck, he could of gotten absolutely, absolutely blown up cleanly (virtually guaranteed concussion and/or injury) and the guy just didn't. If he did, Caufield is likely injured, Montreal loses and Boston wins but that's hockey
He might need surgery, that's the left shoulder he injured crashing into the boards in Florida. Likely wasn't 100% and it got blown up on that hit, hope the medical staff knows what they are doing in Buffalo as historically they have been the leauges worst

Buffalo is so soft. 1st round exit buddy
Too small
I mean, you can't admire your pass. Especially in the offensive zone!
Still allowed to hit in this league? Head up!
The funny part is Thompson dropping his gloves like he’s going to fight anyone.
F off!
Gotta keep your head up when McNabb is on the Ice

This audio commentary was terrible. Puck was gone off Benson’s stick for a least a second CLEARLY a late hit
Total bush league, shot long gone, dudes just trying to hurt someone.
Yup still 2-0 win even with the bitch ass commentators. Clearly late hit but hey we can only hope someone snipes Eichel like that right?

To me thats a charge…but l don't like Benson just floating through the middle…that could have been really bad LOL
Clean hit but it did look late for sure.

2-0.
The fking puck is gone that's a late hit wtf.
Im a life long Sabres fan this was a clean hit, looks more like a headshot only because height difference wasnt targeting (or at least imo)
*Also Ostlund is prob the worst fighter in this league yet he went after a guy who is 6'3 to protect his guy…. How can u not love this kid
