I just watched it a again a few times, it is marginal if it was late or not. Ya the Sharks won’t like it, other fan bases will call for a suspension. As a flames fan, I didn’t like that Dumba hit but I feel this one is different. Backs shouldn’t have had his head down on a vulnerable position but this guy should have seen Sam coming. His head was up, how does he not see him?
I’m glad the leagues handled this one correctly. It wasn’t a hit to the head, it was a text book body check. Shoulder to chest.
Benny was pissed and rightfully so, the Sharks were being sh#theads all night and refs did diddly squat about it. I’m glad he did it, it wasn’t dirty, it was a good hockey play. It causes emotion on both sides and this is why we watch hockey. I hope the guy isn’t hurt but I think he learned a lesson tonight about playing in the NHL.
