This one they shouldn’t let slide just because the perception is they owe the Flames one. League should be looking at the Dell spear as well and handing out some discipline there as well, but that does not excuse Bennett’s decision.
I am actually embarrassed for you, such a bad take.

Hits should be suspended depending on the time of the game and the lead? Ridiculous. I didn't like the Dumba hit on Backlund but it was clean.

If the Sharks weren't running around slashing, cross-checking and spearing like losers in the 3rd period I wouldn't have liked the Bennett hit either, but they were asking for it.

Weird that none of the no-hit guys are vilifying the stick work? Apparently being illegally hit by a stick is just a normal hockey play but a clean hockey hit should now be suspend-able.
