Meanwhile Monahan was hooked on his breakaway I thought, and Tkachuk was blatantly by Dunn which noticeably stopped him from catching the Blue with the puck ahead of him.

I’m not sure why the refs hate Bennett, but there’s a definite reputation there - which baffles me. Dude doesn’t even really argue anything, by all means he looks like a good salt o’ the earth player that refs historically respect.
Is that reputation tied to playoff success? You look at the stuff that Perry and Marchand got/get away with and other players on consistent playoff teams...it’s just weird to me.
People can slam the guy for any number of things around here, but the dude has a good number of flat out bad calls against him.
