Bennett is a stick length away from Compher when he starts to get rid of it. Bennett already has his feet planted and is bracing himself for the hit. At that speed there is zero chance he can bail out.

If you expect players to bail out that close you are going to see a lot more blown out knees from accidental knee on knee hits.
