Says his gm... Haha but yea he's a tough sob.

 

[eyetest is useless]

if anyone refuses to fight Benn, he's an idiot. Turtle, take him off the ice for 5 minutes. Easy game.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Nobody wants to fight Jamie Benn because fighting someone on a golf course is usually grounds for an assault conviction.

 

[soothsayer]

Yeah, no one is going to take Jim Nill seriously here.

 

[LeanBeef]

If I recall correctly, in 2013 Adam McQuaid was in a shoving match wiTh him and dropped his gloves but Benn didnt oblige and hid behind the linesman.

Zack Kassian tried to get Benn to fight two times a few years ago as well.

 

[King1s]

"nobody wants to fight him" and then couple of videos with him fighting top pugilists like Beauchemin and J. Thornton. Hahaha.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

*Most people don't want to fight Jamie Benn. I'm sure you could find a few player that would drop the gloves against him, like Kassian or Lucic.

 

[dechire]

Maybe he's talking about Backes because that game where Backes tried getting rough with Eakin and then ran off when Benn stepped in was pretty amusing

 

[Oscar Acosta]

I'll fight him. Challenge accepted Nill.

 

[zombie kopitar]

"nobody wants to fight him" and then couple of videos with him fighting top pugilists like Beauchemin and J. Thornton. Hahaha.

Thornton shouldn't be taken lightly,has really only been rocked by Lindros....pretty safe to say he won the Benn fight. He destroyed Getzlaf, Doughty and Toews.
Not his fault he's tougher than other star players.



Benn is a really aggressive fighter and will take punches to get some of his own + it takes alot to knock him down....so guys probably don't want to fight him because they know they can't hug their way out like Mayweather

 

[SchennSational1022*]

Wayne Simmonds begs to differ

 

[Nordique]

"nobody wants to fight him" and then couple of videos with him fighting top pugilists like Beauchemin and J. Thornton. Hahaha.

My thoughts exactly. Benn is a good power forward, but I don't exactly see him big boying guys off the ice.

 

[X8oD]

This just happened a few months ago.

That was All Ericsson, Benn ended up just bailing and shoving him to the ice. And Benn was the one who initiated that fight and looked for it.

 

[Rebuilt]

I thought Thornton won that fight with Benn on points.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Maybe he's talking about Backes because that game where Backes tried getting rough with Eakin and then ran off when Benn stepped in was pretty amusing

That is Backes' MO. Spot picker and a wuss that likes to run off or hide behind the refs.

As to this thread, this is Jim Nill saying the equivalent of "my captain is tougher than your captain lol".

 

[mc3488]

Benn will kill anyone in the NHL just by looking at him.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Probably because he seems to challenge people to fight after taking a hard hit and going into butt hurt mode.

 

[Zero Requiem]

Benn is a weakling, Chara would destroy him easily.

 

[pigpen65]

Says his gm...

Yeah. When i saw the thread title i assumed it was to a players poll or something. A statement like that doesn't really carry the same weight when the person saying it isn't one of the guys actually in a position to fight him.

 

[F L Y E R S]

Stars GM, you make me laugh sir!!!

I've been training with 10 pound weights, and having daily fights with my one legged grandmother for over 3 months now. If those results are any indication, my fight with Benn will be a cakewalk!

 

[CBJx614]

Challenge accepted..

The fans are standing up to him! The security guards are standing up to him! The peanut vendors are standing up to him! And by golly, if I could get down there, I'd be standing up to him!

 

[Dave is a killer]

Agreed with Cursed Lemon, no one wants to get an assault charge against themselves for fighting someone on a golf course

 

[Unspecified]

Benn dropped them with Iginla and won.... and not the Iginla of the last couple seasons.
