Funny video but sadly it’s accurate. This league is a complete joke when it comes to discipline and shit like that will lead to the players having to take matters into their own hands.

I think that was more of a punishment than elberle got for breaking someone’s neck

« $5000 fine for nearly removing 2 people from this earth in 1 game » is such an incredible sentence

I’ve been splitting my time between the nhl and nba playoffs so I missed this, but wow. That’s a fucking disgrace

I don’t understand how 5k fine is the most the players agreed to in the CBA.
I also don’t understand how the people in charge of the League cannot see how stuff like this is detrimental to the popularity of said League. It’s one thing to talk about heavy hits. But this is just absolutely trash behaviour that nobody can find entertaining.

Toronto should bring in an enforcer next game.

Just break his neck instead, you may get off scot-free.

I don’t like Toronto, but this is why I hate « playoff » hockey and the « let them play » mentally. There are rules in the game for a reason. When the refs put the whistle away, the game changes, and not for the better.

Really only a matter of time before another Todd Bertuzzi-Steve Moore incident. They just don’t give a shit about player safety.
Tucker897
“We care about player safety” the fuck you doing about it then? Why hasn’t every player in this league been vocal about this sort of shit and I mean like after games doing pressers and shit like call the refs out call the league they can’t fine and fire all of you.
Idea_On_Fire
Can’t say I’m a Panthers fan. Go Toronto, go Canes, go ANYONE.
That’s some of the dirtiest shit I’ve seen this year. Unreal.

Embarrassing is an understatement. They suck, I wish they were more consistent. If that was Marshy he would have had 2 games

George Parros bases his decisions are his personal feelings towards the aggressors and the victims. It doesn’t matter if you like the leafs or hate them this is embarrassing and this level of incompetence is a prime example of why this league will never be relevant. It’s hard to have any respect for anyone involved in this league from players, media and ownership when this is acceptable and no calls out George Parros and Gary for being this corrupt. Except the Ranger and look what everyone involved with the league did then.

i want the leafs to play like bennett for game 3 because apparently it’s legal to chokehold a guy. we saw it with kucherov too so i say we play the same
King_Kodiak62
Is it just me or does the league just hate Canadian teams?
Mrinked91
Honestly 2h slash to the fucking teeth…..if the league wont do anything about this shit time the players do…..
There is going to be another Steve Moore incident and it’s going to be on the Leagues hands….shit Moore’s kinda was too….though he brought it on himself by going after a guy and refusing to fight….but again didn’t deserve his neck/back being broken by a cheap shot from behind. Had he fought and then got injured i don’t think it would have been as big a deal. (Moore i mean)

I was gettin pretty hyped on the panthers but this is some buzzkill behavior
tball788
This is how you bring back enforcers like Marty McSorley. If the refs don’t protect the players they will look to someone else to do it like they did in the earlier days.

Gary’s media bitch Elliotte Friedman victim blamed Bunting and even implied he was faking on his podcast.
ZzzMe0wMe0w
Funny thing is that both of these plays were suspendable during the regular season. Matthews got a few games for such on the cross check.
Parros is a fuckn bum, get a neutral 3rd party and set a precedent.
What’s even funnier is that if Bunting did the same, he’d be gone 2 or 3 games.
Grimmer026
It shit like this where someone should come out and McSorely Bennett’s head, and then make a public statement saying if the nhl refuses to protect players from this shit, we will be forced to protect our teammates this way ourselves
TheNumberPurplee
Almost every playoff game I’ve watched this year has had a « refs you suck » chant, coming from all different fan bases.
People bitching about refs/dops has existed since the start of time. But I feel its pretty safe to say fans across the NHL are starting be at there boiling points with how this league is officiated
Striking_Economy5049
You guys understand Bettman doesn’t want Canadian teams to win, so American teams always get away with whatever they want. Always.
Time to fire that piece of shit and take the league back to being fair for all teams.
brianlangauthor
Parros needs to be fired. ASAP. Dude is a legit joke to “player safety.” Hey let’s take one of the dirtiest players of his time and put him in charge of punishment for dirty hits. LMAO wtaf.

There’d be a lot more sled hockey teams if that was the case.

That’s at least 5min major and a game misconduct for bunting.

I loved Bennett when he was with the Flames. But him and the Panthers have put a bad taste in my mouth this post season
Spiritual-War753
Hes going to do it again tomorrow. He was not punished, his team was only given 2 minutes, and now the opposing player is out of the series, its just a matter of who he will decide to injure tomorrow. Matthews? Marner? Tavares?

But actually go Kraken, my official #2.
Always hated Bennett and now I have a reason
Shit this is scary wtf
Don’t forget about this last round.
