Sam Bennett caught the back of Jesper Fast’s foot with his own skate in one of the numerous leg trips we’ve seen so far in the 2023 playoffs. Was it an accident or “accidentally on purpose”? Have your say!
As much as I don’t like Bennett, it looks like he’s going for a body check and Fast changes direction at the last moment. I’m ok with the non-call here.
That looks more like hip on hip than a trip. If you slow it way down, the initial point of contact are at both players' hips, and just because of the movement of Jesper, it just looks like a trip. Good no call.

That's a slew foot – not a hockey play

Incidental
