I was sitting right along ice level on the camera side last night and from that angle it looked like a huge charge and high hit with the way Cole's arm came up - so can see why the refs gave it 5 and a game from ice level.

The replay doesn't look as bad - more shoulder to shoulder than a head hit - but live it looked like it was 4 strides and then launched into Jankowski.

Probably should have just been 2 for charging (personally don't really think his glide was long enough and it was mostly 4 straight strides) but even then I'm not sure the PP really changed momentum that much. That was all the fight by Bennett, even though he may not be as productive offensively as we all hoped I still love that guy.
