[Report] Sam Bennett To Have Hearing

[EternalCanuckFan]

Definitely deserving of a suspension.  1 game seems a bit light IMHO, even if it's a playoff game.  Coleman wasn't just in a dangerous spot to receive a hit, he had his back to Bennett as well and had no means to even brace or protect himself.  It feels like a predatory hit even if we're not talking about a serious injury resulting to Coleman from it.  I wouldn't generally call Bennett a dirty player but this was a poor decision IMHO should be punished more severely.

That decision, how it was made, and who was 'consulted" about it; turned me from a fan of  all NHL hockey into a Canuck fan.

Absolute bs how that suspension was handled.

Basically, I'm in the same boat. It's easy to say "move on" but I won't until we win, and maybe even then I might not let it go. I like paying attention to what goes on around the league, and there are other teams I'll root for, but Nucks are the only team I actively dig my teeth into.

Instead of “18 year old” Bennett I prefer “Highest pick in Flames history” Bennett now that he’s with the Flames

IMHO it should be 3 games, but since its the playoffs and no injury on the play he will get 1 game. I expect Maroon will be trying to take a run at him next game because the DOPS wont have done anything to control the situation.

That series is that finally made it clear beyond a doubt that the league is rigged.  I simply won't trust the league again until a new commissioner is brought in who makes the integrity of the game a priority.  It's inexcusable that Campbell wasn't fired after written proof of his attempts at match-fixing was made public.

How come DoPS didn't give him a fine? The wheel clicked one more spot? 

[SirCosmoDuffGordon]

Really just a dumb hit. Coleman doesn't turn or anything Bennett just decides to smoke him from behind.

McDonagh should have got one too. Just as reckless.

For one the league got it right.

But blew it by missing one on McDonagh.

While Campbell shoukd have been fired for that fiasco, match fixing is a reach at best.
