All these players going through the hottest streaks of their careers and here's mcdavid, closing in on the scoring title playing for a joke of a team

That Barrie goal might make it interesting.

The Jost goal for sure does.

 

[JerseyMike34]

You can't call a time out on an icing anymore, right?

Pierre McGuire, seems to think you can.

 

[cliffclaven]

Not if it was a clean hit. Kane will get a piece of Bennett next game.

By doing what? Punching him in his visor? Lol. There certainly won’t be a “fight”. Someone might get triggered.

I think the team that gets the offensive zone faceoff can take a timeout but not the team that ices it.

 

[Super Hans]

Strange stat: Francouz has lost both games he's played in the NHL by only giving up one goal each game while his team scores four.

Oh my god, NBC hired a hipster band to write a chessy promo song for their games and it's just as bad you can imagine!

61 points now after tonight playing for a garbage team.

Please...goalies slash like that in response to people running them constantly. Bennett absolutely was doing that and got what was coming to him. He wants to respond and instead of just doing it like a man, he goes after an unsuspecting player in the last shift of a decided game like a coward. Simek has one guy to blame for his concussion and it's the guy that hit him like a punk coward and that's Bennett. Keep making excuses for him. It only makes you out to be the same.



Nothing clean about it. Late and injured a player.



It was late and everyone knows it and it caused an injury. I don't go with NHL brass as the authority of right and wrong calls on the ice. Only simpletons do that. Bennett made a late hit in a generally cheap fashion even if it wasn't because he was being a coward. Plain and simple. He'll get his receipt soon enough.

Cry me a ****ing river

Cry me a ****ing river

That's the whole point of a message board isn't it? I'll cry about the coward doing cowardly things and you'll cry in response to defend that piece of crap.

You make it seem like Bennett murdered someone.

Very impressive. Imagine how well he'd do if he didn't have to drag around Draisaitl on his line and on the PP.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Ok I’ll explain it. Up by 3, 20 seconds left, in the sharks zone, a player who just passed the puck back behind his own net to basically kill the clock and surrender the game.

In what world is it considered a necessary hockey play to obliterate him with a borderline late high hit to knock him out with a concussion?

Can you run a guy and potentially alter his career and life in this situation? Apparently.

Should that actually be acceptable and encouraged by a league fretting over potential brain injuries? Hmm.

Maybe hockey isn't for you. It's a violent, beautiful game.

There are words that may fit Bennett, but it's a little rich to call a guy a coward after he sends your player through the Earth's crust and then dummies the guy who comes after him.

The best way to avoid dust-ups like this is to not give up 8 goals.

Yes, only simpletons appeal to the actual rules when evaluating whether rules were broken. The truly elite tier fans vaguely allude to truth by majority and ignore actual rules.

 

[stampedingviking]

2022/23. Look at the euro leagues and the wnhl for reference. It’s pathetic.

Have you actually watched any games?

KHL/SHL are certainly not pathetic to watch. In fact, in many ways, they're better to watch than the NHL.

 

[stampedingviking]

Yep, slowed down to 1fps.. and wood gets 3 games and tens of thousands of$$. This league is a joke.

The league isn't a joke, it's the players who decide to hit well after the puck has gone.

 

[Unspecified]

Dallas/NJ, they gave Wood a penalty for a clean hit on Benn because he was shaken up.

No they gave him a penalty for a late hit that Woods was obviously planning a couple seconds after Benn passed the puck. Benn turned his head towards the play like a player should and was blindsided with a late shitty hit. That is the exact garbage the league is trying to get rid of along with head shots. The dynamic of the hit itself from the one angle i can find looked good but the fact that it was late and served no purpose except to go out of his way to throw a garbage hit is why he got the 5. It was obvious retribution from when Benn fought Woods earlier this season.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Not at all. That's just you exaggerating what I'm saying to misrepresent me. A common fallacy.

I don't think it's rich at all. He went after a guy in the last shift of a decided game well after he relinquished the puck that had no reason to expect to be hit in that situation. A coward takes a run at guys when the game's over and Bennett did no such thing to Goodrow. I agree the best way to avoid it is to not give up 8 goals but generally in that situation, the team that gives up the 8 goals is the one running around and not the team up it. It's obvious Calgary is not used to winning and they will fall back to Earth shortly. No matter how you try to rationalize it, what he did was a cowardly move, plain and simple.

The actual rules would have led to a suspension because it was a late hit that caused a head injury. The league doesn't always adhere to their own rules as has been shown on numerous occasions. There's no point trying to argue otherwise because it would just be wrong.

And if it wasn’t an injury? Still suspendable?
That doesn’t make any sense. Are we just going to send out your medic and then let him decide for the DoPS that the offender should be suspended if Simek was concussed? It was a shoulder hit, not to the head. The player fell hard, and some on his head. That was just unfortunate. Hardly a suspendable hit, get real.
