2nd Rnd '25 Playoffs: Leafs vs Panthers - Flo-Rida them onto the ECF - LFG!

Who can we afford to lose on a 2-3 game suspension to make sure Bennet leave the rink on a stretcher tonight?

Would rather not lose anyone, but I'd love to see a massive, well executed legal hit to Mr. Bennett's existence. Wouldn't mind if a ref got "accidentally" run over in the process, too. 😁

One game into the Leafs-Panthers series, hockey’s warrior ethos is thriving

The NHL likes the Sam Bennetts of the world; why stop them?

“The league doesn’t just put up with headshots. It ‘markets’ them. How many replays of the Stolarz hit did you see vs. replays of any of the goals scored? Again, if the league didn’t want it that way, it wouldn’t be that way. 
Headshots are great advertising, especially at this time of year. While the NBA is wondering if it’s grown so physical that it’s boring people, the NHL is pushing the opposite agenda - ‘We spent a lot of years pretending to feel bad about this. We don’t feel bad any more.’
Violence gives the talking heads on ESPN something to say that isn’t, ‘Game was good. Skaters skated.’ They might even get the likes of Stephen A. Smith interested -- something a tight Game 7 is never going to do.”
