he did the same thing to Larkin a couple years ago. not suspended then. another example of "maybe punish guys in the first place and they won't keep doing the same crap". Larkin missed the rest of the season after Benn did the same to him... I didn't know that. So, he is a repeat offender for the same type of offense and the fucked up NHL gives him 2 games. Someone should cross check Bettman in the neck 3 or 4 times, so he gets some idea what the hell is happening out there. What a totally fucked up league the NHL is when it comes to punishing those who ruin the game. I don't get the end game of ignoring these horrible offenses. I can totally understand how Texas would not dare prosecute him since it is run by a governor who wants to pardon a convicted murderer because he killed a black guy during a Black Lives Matter protest. But, for the league not to protect its players is pure bullshit and shows that the NHL has no moral code. With all due respect I think the Texas governor has more to deal with handling the daily swarms of migrants than to spend time with an over the top cross check by an NHL player.

Ottinger goes into tonights game with a playoff record of 8 - 8. Seems like a really odd won lost record for the playoffs.

Seems like a really odd won lost record for the playoffs. i thought goaltending might be the difference maker this series but this wasn't what i had in mind. oettinger's .848 and 4.63 this series and just .895 and 3.02 the entire playoffs. down 0-3, i really thought dallas might say f*** it and throw in wedgewood.

ESPN announcers said Ottinger has played more hockey then any other goalie in the league this season. Going back to the start of the regular season he's played the equivalent of 7 more games then any other goalie. Could be why his stats are not good, fatigue caught up to him

Could be why his stats are not good, fatigue caught up to him maybe. he's only 24 but you never know. in the regular season he was 4th in minutes played (3645). you have to go down to 18th (bobrovsky with 2834) to find the next goalie who's still in the playoffs.

Think after the season,the Hawks GM needs to make a trade for Dallas defenseman Harley. Then the Hawks would have Harley on the ice and Davidson in the front office.

Another Dallas trade, sending Raanta to Carolina. Then Carolina would have Raanta and Antti Raanta. Would they cancel each other out?

dallas 0-4 in overtime this season, vegas is 3-0 this season and it's an elimination game.
so i reckon dallas is pretty much guaranteed a win.
domi if star and just in case, marchessault if knight.

2 game suspension for benn. this quote...did he say it with a straight face? Could be a blessing in disguise, they might win now without Benn. Him and Seguin cant lead a team to anywhere. Theyre like the “leaders” in Jets. good call. maybe the stars should appeal benn's suspension, see if they can stretch it to 4 games.

5 of the 9 conference final games go to OT, and 8 of the 9 were won by 1 goal.

Pavelski is also a good leader. Give Benn’s icetime to them.

Not sure you get NHL Network by you, but they have the 2023 IIHF World Championship quarterfinal games on beginning at noon EST. Germany vs Switzerland followed by Latvia vs Sweden at 2 PM. Might help with your hockey fix? More games thru the weekend with the Gold Medal game on Sunday at 1 PM Est

With all due respect I think the Texas governor has more to deal with handling the daily swarms of migrants than to spend time with an over the top cross check by an NHL player. Agreed not sure why we need to bring politics in here. The point was that in any other situation than a sporting event, doing what Benn did was a prosecutable offense. If you were eating dinner in an outside cafe and I cross checked you in the neck with a dinner plate, I would be prosecuted. Similar assaults in sports do not get prosecuted, even when they clearly cross the line between assault and an action permitted under the rules of the sport that would normally be considered an assault, like a body check; football tackle. Clearly what Benn did crossed the line and should be prosecuted. My point was that prosecuting sport assaults is not going to start in Texas where the governor wants to pardon a guy who was convicted of murdering someone because his victim was a Black Lives Matter protestor. What does that say about Texas attitudes toward criminal actions. If you don't get it, then I am not going to start a process of education on this website. As you said, it is no place for politics. However, it is a place where one should be able to point out that: 1. Benn is an asshole and Neanderthal; 2. The NHL should have suspended him for half a season; and 3. Assaults like his should be prosecuted in court, but Texas certainly isn't the place where that movement was going to start. Finally, to me, there is a similarity between the fucked up NHL failing to seriously punish a player who committed a serious assault a fellow player with a stick (i.e. a deadly weapon when used in an assault) and wanting to pardon a convicted murderer because he happened to kill a black guy who was a Black Lives protestor. Both actions involve failing to take into account the attitude of the perpetrator and seriousness of his action. I never would have mentioned the Texas pardon, if the NHL assault had not occurred in Texas, but as I was bitching about another NHL failure to punish serious assault, the Texas pardon popped into my brain as a similar violation of the basic code of morality. Hey, if you don't see it the same way, so be it, you are entitled to your opinion also.
