McAvoy slash on Bennett

[violaswallet]

It was nothing. Go watch figure skating.

The brilliant insight and wit of Bahston fans is deafening…

An infantile response.

(Almost) no one is saying McAvoy should be sent to the gallows, but a slash and a couple of punches is a minor penalty, at least.

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.

Bennett took a “whack?” He tapped his glove with his stick, that’s deserving of a double ax handle swing into his skate then everything else that went with it? all that happens every single time? Lmao no it doesn’t. I’m all about protecting your goalie, don’t touch him, etc.
Regular season that’s a penalty, maybe even earlier in the game it is. McAvoy’s actions were overboard, Bennett didn’t whack away, can the hyperbole.

Not threadworthy.

Man some of you seemed to have just watched your first playoff hockey game. And this game was pretty tame for all that. SMH.

Exactly. Other than them calling the bench minor in the dying minutes of an elimination game (when they didn’t call Boston for one in game 1 or 2) I’m fine with no call there to a degree, but act like this isn’t an easy two during the season. Or in periods one or two.

Cause an over the head chop happens every year. You’re right, first time.

Kind of funny seeing McAvoy take a couple swings at Bennett because Sam Bennett would absolutely throttle McAvoy if they dropped the gloves. Good discipline by Bennett there and should have drawn a PP out of that.

Not really: most of us watch hockey beyond the rose tinted and vodka scented Jack Edwards glasses and understand a penalty when it’s a penalty

And yet you’ve never seen a guy slash another guy after he just slashed your goaltender. Mildest “two-hander” I’ve ever seen.

Lol: proportionate response my friend (and retaliation as well). Complex concept.

I’ve been told that there’s some good institutions next to Boston in Cambridge; see if you can matriculate there: it would clearly benefit you

This literally makes absolutely no sense.

Your not up on your hockey news, are you?

 

[Ol' Jase]

It's absolutely mind numbing that there is some sort of debate that doesn't deserve a 2 minute slashing call. Lol.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Minor penalties to both. Having stuff like this going on without any consequence is idiotic.

You've been here almost 18 years. It shouldn't be surprising to you at all.

 

[Bounces R Way]

it was a cartoonish windup but he barely touched him lol

Was going to post the same thing. Bennett would 100% kill McAvoy.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

If 2 min Mac, then 2 for Bennett and a 10min Misconduct for starting such a useless thread.

You're forgetting about game management.

It probably wasn't Florida's turn to get a power play.

 

[ijuka]

"he chopped the goalie" - so then just push and shove him a couple of times, as usual. That's no free ticket to axe chopping their foot and then sucker punching a vulnerable person to the back of the head.

 

[Oilslick941611]

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

I thought so as well, but he hit the top of his skate with that wild lumberjack swing. Dirty

 

[VanillaCoke]

should be suspended for the series

 

[ItWasJustified]

… yet this was a penalty…



The NHL, ladies and gentlemen.

Skating towards the referee and deciding to slash your opponent while you're yelling at the referee might just be the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a hockey rink.

Chucky in to stick his mouthguard in his ear while having a rear-naked-choke on the ready.

Surprisingly good restraint from Bennett. A few years ago he probably retaliates and it ends up costing them their season.

McAvoy is barking up the wrong tree though. If game 6 gets lopsided I fully expect Bennett to challenge and subsequently bloody McAvoy. Kid can chuck em.
