Bennett’s cross check to Bunting tonight was IDENTICAL to this play. AM34 got 2 for this. Will the league be consistent and suspend Bennett?

    I have my doubts

    Didnt he also clothesline Knies?

  2. Elbowed a guy in game 1 too. This guy is as dirty as it gets

    Plus a second cross check after Bunting went down. Icing on the cake is I believe Hrudy or Eakins was just saying on intermission he needs to stop shaking his hand(he was slashed in the hand) and touching his neck (above mentioned cross check). So Bunting is not even allowed to feel pain. Refs won’t protect him unless there’s attempted murder. What a joke

    Bennett will be getting 0 games unfortunately.

    Probably a fine to Bunting for embellishing

  6. They weren’t identical. Matthews retaliated. Bunting was just standing in front of the net. I’d expect a fine for Bennett.

    I have no doubt Perros will throw Bennet a pizza party. Player safety is a fucking joke. You can break a guys neck and get nothing for it

    Step 1: was it against the leafs?

    Step 2: if step one is yes, ignore.

    2 games for a cross check to the head. 3 more for grabbing Knies around the throat with contact with his stick and throwing him twice to the ground.

    It wasn’t identical, he was wearing a Parros-proof camouflage jersey

    Matthews was worse. More mad about the Knies play.

  12. Bennett drew blood Game 1 on Ryan O’Reilly. What’s up with Player Safety?

  13. Will the league be consistent…

    Let me just stop you right there because we already know the answer

    Let’s be specific here, AM34 had never been suspended and got 2 games. Sam Bennett was already suspended 3 games for the hit to the head on Cedric Paquette in 2022 so he has a history.

    5000$ fine nhl playoffs and a terrible player safety system

    HAHAHAHAHA “consistent”

    Oh shit that’s funny.

    Don’t forget the body slam on knies!

    The league is open about weighted suspensions in the playoffs and it doubles each round. For full consistency, that would be a 2 game suspension in the regular season, 1 game in the first round and 0 games for 2nd round or later.

    Well when you have a goon like George Parros in charge, what do you expect will happen?
