I think it was a bit of both, to be honest

Dallas gave Calgary the outside to take all the shots they needed

Even Johnny’s winner was from a pretty bad angle

Hard not to think it was planned. He roughed up Stone, knocked him down, and hammered him. I mean, it's not a random schmuck, it's Stone. I guess you could be charitable and couch it in other language, and say that Benn lost control or "crossed a line" but what he did was knock down a star player away from the play and try to break his jaw with his stick. Was THAT play planned? No. But I wouldn't be surprised if Benn's thinking to himself "I gotta hammer Stone if I can."

Wow, who would have figured that both conference finals would be blowouts?

Re: Benn, it was planned so far that Benn is always thinking about hurting people and being a dick. So yeah, planned.

Such an easy interference call. I get the fans are upset at the score, but that call was too easy.

Knights-Panthers makes for an intriguing cup final. I just hope it's more entertaining/competitive than the conference finals have been.

I think it's gonna be great, two really fast, really tenacious, slightly chaotic teams, and lots of shooting talent.

in criminal law premeditated just means planned and deliberate, and the planning can be just a moment before. Benn knocked Stone down, looked at him, then aimed a cross check at his face. Pretty obvious.

When the trade with Buffalo happened a lot of people (myself included) were making fun of it. But boy were we wrong. He was worth everything they gave up and maybe more.

It's freaky how he seems to slow down time when he has the puck, to the point where I feel like yelling "Do something!" but he doesn't HAVE to, he has the option to do all kinds of things.

But the number of pockets picked, plays disrupted, the job he did against McDavid was unbelievable... yeah the guy's a superstar.

The only way I could dislike Benn more would be if he joined the Oilers.

4 out of the first 5 completed games have gone to OT, with the fifth finishing 1-0. These conference finals have been highly competitive and entertaining.
