Benn completely shit the bed. What an unbelievably stupid move.
Otter got smoked.
You would think this game mattered and you’d come ready.

That was ugly. And again they are targeting Mark Stone (who just recently had 2 back surgeries)
LV is playing better and better as time goes on. No one is gonna' beat them.

Wow. Just...wow.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like that, not even in the most contentious of rivalries. Benn just...I don't know. It's like he short-circuited or something. And the circumstances made no sense! Now I can see that kind of play if it's late in the game, you're losing soundly, and you've got some agitator up in your business who's been shadowing you the whole game, and maybe you just lose it and take it out on the guy. Not that I would condone such a thing, but it would at least make sense circumstantially. Nothing doing! It was early in the game, down by only a goal, and Benn was just making his way fairly casually through the neutral zone when he inexplicably decided to make Mark Stone his punching bag...who wasn't even getting in his face all that much! Sure, he was there, forcing the play, but in a way that's not even close to meriting such an overreaction by Benn. Plus, as mentioned in the post above this one, Stone's had back problems, and getting cross-checked several times while being sprawled out on the ice can't be too good for the lumbar region. Needless to say, Vegas deserved to win that game.
Looks like Barkov's back. Everyone have their brooms ready?

Yeah, totally out of character for Benns actions. That could have been very bad as he had Stones neck pinned down with his stick, what a dumbass move.
Kittys will win over Canes and face LV... LV will win easily. The best match-up was Oilers and LV. The rest will be nothing special.

Absolutely. Benn is no last minute AHL call-up with something to prove. He should know better.
I can't help but wonder what'll happen between the two at the handshake line...

I don't like handshake lines. We have them in our beer-league after every game. Many fights break out just in the lines, it's really insane.
So an opposing player sucker punches me or throws an elbow into my head..intentionally trying to hurt me. The refs don't call it. Yet now I am supposed to approach this guy in the line and shake his hand? Fck no, I don't - and never will. I just skip on by him. IMO, by shaking his hand that means I'm ok with him cheap-shotting me and getting away with it. Nope, I'll skip your azz'.
I hope Stone snubs him. I think Leon Drisaitl did the same to Pie'..

Benn came out today and said he basically lost his balance and unfortunately he landed on his stick.
Okay, so Benn is just a moron and whoever advised him to say that is a bigger moron.
Sad thing is, I just defamed morons.

Ah, that explains it.
Well that's bullshit. You can see him actively trying to cross check Stone as he is "falling down"
Man's pants are clearly on fire. Perhaps a trade to Calgary is in order?
Yikes. Not even CLOSE to buying that song and dance.
Benn would’ve better off saying “look man, hockey is tough, I’m not”
4 minutes of tap-dancing, what an ahole. Man' up and also make aa sincere apology.
Benn received two games. One game this season and one game for Future Considerations.
Go Pannies!' Carolina had nothing special, they never had a chance. I thought that penalty call at the end was total bullcrap...and no it wasn't goalie interference either (on the winning goal).
Now make me eat crow and beat LV ! but....I don't see it happening.... LV too dang good - BUT! Kittys got the hot goalie.
My money is on LV but rooting for the underdog Panthers.
