To be honest, I didn't love that Dumba or Bennett went for big hits late in decided games.

However Bennett was just taking the NHL's ruling on that exact matter to heart. They obviously told the Flames, perhaps even literally, that a big hit late in a game is just as valid as one in the middle of the game.

So in context, both within the game last night as well as the fallout of the Minnesota game, I have no problem with the Bennett hit.
