McAvoy slash on Bennett

[All Mod Cons]

Nope.

Wrong team for that to happen.

They can use their stick as a weapon.

 

[MikeyMike01]

2 minutes and a fine, at a bare minimum

 

[Givememoneyback]

Don't think there's fines in the playoffs, is there?

Should've been a penalty imo but shouldn't rise to the level of supplemental discipline.

Tkachuck was just fined.

 

[Laus723]

I legitimately don't think he even hit him lmao. Than the giga-turtle.

Came right down onto his toe, and yeah, Bennett of all people is a turtler

Tkachuk’s father would call some you extremely soft. And in this case he’d be right on the money.

 

[Heldig]

Oh, it sure looks like he hit the skate. Should be a fine at least given the full axe like swing.

 

[Il Stugotz]

That swing was so big though. Not exactly a run of the mill slash

Yeah also weird because you don’t see downstrokes like that often. But he was aiming for the stick that Bennett just slashed the goalie with, and I don’t think McAvoy even got his foot with the blade, more the heel or hosel or whatever you call that part

 

[Ted Hoffman]

… yet this was a penalty…

Yes, it was. Very observant.

The fact that McAvoy didn't get called for one doesn't mean that we should excuse every slash that occurs. We should ask that every slash - especially a slash that makes contact with a player - gets called for a penalty.

[Cue discussion on the officials calling everything that counts as a penalty.]

And that's why the Bruins went on to OT to score and close out the .......... um ...... wait, that can't be right.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

That was pretty nasty. Definite penalty. No more. But if that wasn't called it's another example of crap officiating in the NHL.

 

[BTO]

This has to be at least a fine, right?

?? Seriously lol?

 

[Gnova]

The intent was there, just no injury so NHL will pretend it didn't happen.

 

[BTO]

… yet this was a penalty…



The NHL, ladies and gentlemen.

Wow

 

[violaswallet]

Again, the consistency of calls these playoffs is non-existent. How on earth is that not a penalty?

Remember the star for Boston is TJ Luxmore (21)

 

[BTO]

This has to be at least a fine, right?

Now post Lauko’s “penalty” on the faceoff immediately after Boston tied it.

Dude punched him twice with the glove while he was down/getting up.

Might have got a “contusion of the testicular variety”.

 

[Smif]

2 mins in my books. Watched it live and the replay quite a few times, 2 mins.

 

[KCC]

Not a fine but it was obviously a penalty. Guaranteed that would have been called in the EDM series. Not sure why the reffing is so inconsistent. Homer fans need to take off the glasses. As a neutral fan looking on that was clearly slashing penalty. It was a very undisciplined play that should have been called.

 

[BTO]

Bennett took a swipe at Ullmark after the whistle and was embellishing the slash. It was a tie game about to go into overtime.

If that happened right off the opening faceoff McAvoy probably gets a minor.

Yup. You take a swipe at the goaltender you’re going to get whacked. It’s called hockey. Figureskating’s future is thataway ———->

 

[Anemia]

He barely touched him...

This literally makes absolutely no sense.

Bennett took a whack at Ullmark and got whacked in response. Happens every single time that anyone ever takes a whack at a goaltender. Which is why it McAvoy didn’t get called. What’s he supposed to do, stand there and watch Bennett whack away at his goaltender? f*** me.

Lol whack trying to loosen the puck does not equal a 180 degree slash and two punches on the ground. Proportionate response

Should have been a call

 

[River Meadow]

Bennett went down as if shot.

It was nothing. Go watch figure skating.

Forgot the rabbit punch to the back of Bennett's head as he was falling though.
