Injury Report: Simek out with concussion.

[Lebanezer]

Let's see if the DOPS suspends Miles Wood for his similarly late hit on Jamie Benn.

Similar hit from Wood on Benn tonight. If Wood gets suspended, I give up.

There needs to be some sort of d-bag quotient to determining these things. Like, just look at the guy and say, "that guy just looks like the kinda guy that would do something ****ty." Things all of a sudden get much more obvious.

You mean the Perry/Marchand scale?

He's off the Varmint Chart

That's the mustache of a sociopath.

 

[Mafoofoo]

I mean is anyone surprised the DoPs doesn’t care about the Sharks? Parros is an idiot regardless so we should be lucky he didn’t give Simek a suspension for getting hit

It was eerily similar. It’ll be interesting to see if they do anything about it.

 

[SactoShark]

It's the same hit. But I can't wait to hear how different it really is when you really, really think about it.

If Wood gets suspended, I'd be furious if I was a Jersey fan, hit may have been a bit late, but it was clean otherwise. Bennett's was a straight up jumping blindside headshot after a 30 foot charge.

 

[Coily]

Wood's is a cleaner hit than Turd Ferguson's.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Next meet up, I'm hoping we beat them on the scoreboard and on the ice.

Again...late hits are the most dangerous ones in hockey and almost always cause injuries. They're never clean. Hyman got 2 Games, Bennett none. Don't expect Wood to get the punishment he deserves...

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

He's off the Varmint Chart

I know he would kick my ass but I would still spit in his face if I ran into him in person. What a POS.

Bennett is a POS but how can you say it was blind side? He was skating directly at Simek from in front. Not even sure it was a charge... It was a leaping head shot though which should have drawn a suspension.

The term blindside from the game's perspective has generally meant from the perspective of where the head is positioned and what it's looking at. Simek isn't looking in front of him because he's passing the puck back around the net. People want to chastise him for admiring his pass in such a condescending manner but there's obviously no admiring of such a pass in the freaking defensive zone on the last shift of a three goal game. He's doing what hockey players are always taught as d-men which is to try and keep the play in front of you. Bennett knew that and did what he did anyway because he's a piece of crap. And I hope he gets his in the next game and I hope that Gaudreau and/or Monahan get laid into pretty heavily as well as a little payback but I doubt that much. They'll fight Bennett, it'll likely be a nothing event, and they'll move on when they should want to take out that entire team.

In addition to this, I was very surprised at the no-suspension decision on the sole basis of the fact that this was a hit to the head and resulted in a concussion. The DOPS most definitely does not appear to have any standard with how they are handing out punishments. Before this I was fairly confident that any hit to the head that resulted in a concussion would result in a suspension unless it was totally accidental. And this hit was definitely not an accident.

 

[SnarkAttack]

It was definitely a dirty hit, and should be illegal if it isn't already, but I have yet to see an angle where he hits him in the head. Looked really shoulder to chest to me.

I'm just a proponent of calling it what it was instead of trying to exaggerate for effect. If someone can show me the headshot angle, I'd gladly change my mind. I al ready hate Parros and Bennett, so it shouldn't be too hard.

 

[SnarkAttack]

Also, context matters. The fact this happened in a 3 goal game with less than 30 seconds left and where the Sharks had clearly stopped trying to score is what makes this such a chicken**** hit.

Pretty sure Bennett was the guy who famously couldn't even do one pull-up at the draft combine. No matter your fitness level, you'd probably be ok to take him.

 

[Nighthock]

That blonde mustache looks like a banana slug...

That's pathetic. I was doing sets of 25 or more at his age with an undiagnosed broken Scaphoid bone in my wrist. What a f***ing wuss.

 

[Hinterland]

Yeah, that was Bennett.
He's also famous for being the only professional player who got beaten up by Vlasic

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

So that’s why Bennett was so salty.

 

[Hinterland]

So that’s why Bennett was so salty.

He's also the only player who got abused by Dell



Seriously. I understand them. Nobody likes Bennett. He's a dirty shitbag constantly trying to injure players.

 

[OffSydes]

Seems like naming my kid Bennett was a mistake
