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. So, what's your excuse for the NHL's attitude toward protecting its players? |

So, what's your excuse for the NHL's attitude toward protecting its players? No excuse. I think the “punishment” was light given the force used. And I know this goes a little off topic but I find some of the rules inconsistent. For example Trouba can deliberately light up someone and concuss them and who knows how severe the injury could be and it’s considered to be just physical play. Maybe it’s use of the stick that separates some of these overly aggressive actions that players take? |

Inconsistent and light are certainly words of an understatement that characterizes the fucked up NHL's attitude toward players who commit serious criminal assaults during the games. I think hockey is a great game that should not be damaged by actions such as Benn's and Pietrangelo's. I believe the league should do what is necessary to stop those actions. Imposing one and two game suspensions do not provide enough incentive to discourage such actions as they continue to occur. Only lengthier suspensions will work. Half season suspensions will get the message across and if those don't work, make them 3/4 of a season, or an entire season. |

If the league is truly trying to protect its players, then they do have to get tougher on deliberate attempts to injure. |

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. So you are saying it's better not to cross check in Illinois, new york or California because those governors are merciless in persecuting of crimes. Makes sense. |

I could respond to your comment, but won't. Back to hockey-----if the two game suspension was supposed to be all that was needed to get a message across to Benn that what he did was wrong and violated the rules of the game, then his post-game comment showed that he needed more education that only could be provided by a half season suspension. For him to say that he was only using his stick as an aid to his landing after he, too, fell to the ice shows his moral depravity that, while it is unlikely to be cured, can be dealt with by keeping him away from the game for a long, long time. Clearly, keeping him away from the game for only two games did absolutely nothing to get him to reflect on his serious assault and vow to change his ways, as most punishment are designed to do. You can comment on that one, as I will address it in any response I have to your reply. Furthermore, if you really want me to address your comment about cross checking in Illinois, NY or Calif, I will. Please let me know. I am not one to back away from some verbal back and forth. I just didn't want to piss off the faithful anymore by getting any deeper in a political morass. Your call. |

I suppose Stone could have filed a police report and then the local Dallas authorities could have responded and possibly arrested Benn. If the precedent is to arrest everyone that does something that would be considered assault in every game or more so in playoff games then half the team would be spending night in jail. Again absolute no excuse what Benn did the league reviewed and gave out punishment. Now you have the right to disagree and make suggestions or opinions to what they should do no issue, just leave the governor or any political component out. |

funny that pavelski is so high in playoff goals, PPGs and GWGs but still no cup.
on a brighter note, dino ciccarelli is the only other non-cup winner to join JP on that list.

Claude Lemieux... lol. what a playoff performer that guy was... not saying his numbers are inflated but he's on this list partly to the amount of games he played in the playoffs. he only missed playing in the playoffs three times in his 21 year nhl career. once in his first pro season which he only played 1 game that season before being returned to junior, and twice with the coyotes in the early 2000s. his 234 p/o games ranks 4th all-time behind messier (236), lidstrom (263) and chelios (266). edit: lemieux's goals/game and points/game are higher in the playoffs than his regular season averages, but not by much. in the regular season he averaged .65 points/game and .31 goals/game, while in the playoffs the numbers were .68 points/game and .34 goals/game. |

I am not advocating criminal prosecutions for any act that is borderline, not would the prosecutors touch it because they have enough to do. But, for serious assaults, like Benn's, I believe that prosecution will deter such actions. I am only interested in keeping criminal acts out of the game, whether by lengthy suspensions, or jail sentences, or both. There should be no place for actions such as Benn's or Pietrangelo's. I simply disagree with those who think that one or two game suspensions are sufficient deterrence. I think that half season suspensions would be a good a starting place to deter such actions. Because I am in favor of local prosecutions to help deter such violence in hockey, it occurred to me that Benn would never be prosecuted in Texas given its governor's desire to pardon a convicted murderer simply because he killed a guy who was black and happened to be a Black Lives Matter protestor. I couldn't resist bringing it up, but I agree that it is better not to get political on this website. For my eggregious transgression, I impose a two week suspension of my posting privileges upon myself. |

I've complimented your consistency pointing out dirty play regardless of who the 'perp' is jack but hasn't PO hockey always been more physical and violent? You've been a fan of the game for as long as I have,so let me ask you this........is the game more or less violent than it was 20-30 years ago? |

However, that does not mean that it can't be further improved by more serious suspensions for major violations of the rules. But, hey, I ain't gonna change anything by whining on a hockey website. For some reason, those who run the league are determined not to deter such violent actions. |

First of all, when I brought up Abbott and his desire to pardon a convicted murderer, I did it as a humorous comment to address my desire to see serious assaults in hockey prosecuted in the criminal courts by pointing out why it wasn't going to start in the state of Texas. They would be so prosecuted in life off the ice, so why should on ice assaults get special dispensation from societal rules. I rarely get political on this site, although I may offend some people, so don't get all upset just because I brought up a political comment once in the proverbial blue moon. By the way, this does not violate my two week suspension because there is a clause in it that allows me to respond to posts directed at myself. I am only banned from initiating a post. By the way, altho I generally agree with the anti-political comment position, I have seen a few of them around and they don't bother me because I am a very political person. But, I see why they should be kept off sites like this one and will do my very best to avoid such travesties in the future once my two week suspension is over. Perhaps, I also need a criminal prosecution to get the message to really stick. |

While many would say Hill has looked good. I think he’s out of place and not really ready. Vegas D is really good. Dallas has been taking it to them. The 3rd goal by Dellandrea was awful on its best day. I really feel Dallas can take this. The Vegans tending will let them down. I’ve seen at least 5 pucks sitting in an open spot in the crease. It’s only a matter of time, the pucks are there!!!

I’ve talked to many guys about deflected pucks, every goalie says it’s better for it to be deflected right away than when they’re set. A goalies best move is to have none. Less is more. Goalies should not be moving more then they have to. Hill is all over the crease. I think with the pressure. Next game he’s gonna fall right apart. Then what to do? Go to Quick in game 7? If they go with Hill in game 6. Gotta ride him out the rest of the way!!!

That puck that hit Petros stick, hit it right away. i'd always thought the goalie shouldn't be affected by a change of direction that happens almost instantaneously, as it did in dallandrea's first goal. but i've seen goals like that happen so many times (in my years and years on countless sofas) and i'm certain that it does indeed handcuff goalies. going to have to agree to disagree on this one i think. |

Vegas should be getting the Oakland As here soon. Now just for basketball to land there. Personally I feel baseball fails there. It’s just too gawd dam hot in the summer to play baseball. If it’s 111F. How the hell do you play ball? I feel the players union will have something to say about that!!! Build an indoor stadium. |

So Benn is back for game6? I bet they lose if benn gets his usual 5 and a game a couple minutes in again, dallas could still have a good chance of winning. |
