You have to respect Bennett for not completely destroying the kid. Didn’t leave his feet, didn’t head hunt, shoulder through body, marginally late at best (0.1 to 0.2 seconds late is hardly disastrous) that hit is seen as a beauty even just 5 years ago and honestly looking at the Dumba/Backlund hit in comparison and th context behind the hit I just don’t see how this is suspension worthy.
Tkachuk on the other hand should get at least 2 games, it’s no different than the elbow to doughty and it’s on a star player; yea he totally should get the book for at least 2 maybe even 3 because he’s a repeat offender. But man the Sharks were running around like goons all night, chirping the bench and trying to stir up #### so good on Bennett for laying down the law in his rink.
