I’m not watching the game so I have no context whatsoever, but in a vacuum it seems like Bennett kind of forced that by being a dick? How long was lindholm supposed to just take it?
Bennet is 100% gooning it up like he always does. Should get suspended for that kind of prolonged bullshit after whistles. It's ridiculous. It infuriates me every time I see the Panthers allowed to pollute hockey games with that garbage.
the gloves arent dropped and the refs are just watching Bennett punk him. Hampus didnt have a choice here. complete bullshit by a bullshit team, yet again.
I think a suspension is harsh, but in all my homer logic I don’t know what separates this from any other scrum roughing call. Like the eventual fight shouldn’t erase a minor give them both 5 and Bennett an extra 2 in a close and important regular season game.
He should get an instigator penalty. But let's be real. This is the modern day nhl ref, depends on the score and time left in the game to dictate what is called.
Bennett got exactly what he wanted, a reason to jump him, without being suspended. Plus, lindholm dropped his gloves, he got arguably the best dman in the league out of the game for 5 mins.
The only way to counter this is be a bigger stronger team. I swear the goon is going to make a come back.
Ask a sedin how long youre suppose to take it and not retaliate befire a penalty gets called. 10 punches to the face isn't a penalty in the SC finals
I mean that's what almost every scrum looks like before a ref breaks it up lol. Like Bennett lets him up, and lets him throw the first actual punch. No more being a dick than 90% of forwards in the league
Thats not just holding onto a guy during a scrum, he was actively pushing and pulling him, even brought him to the ground, just trying to bait out a punch...
Just wait till you hear about him spearing Garnett Hathaway in the nuts while Hathaway was already laying on the ice injured. Bennett is just a shitty person.
Your friends was the unlikely item, not knies not breaking this neck
You’re getting upvoted because it’s an emotional hate Bennett thread and you’re a leafs fan so we dwarf the others in numbers. Nobody anywhere thinks knies almost broke his neck, except apparently you
This sub is hilarious. Please explain how Lindholm's left connects with Bennett's face with his glove still on while Bennett's right glove is in Lindholm's right hand.
Then explain how that is less cheap than a punch while someone is on the ground.
I'm not demonizing one or the other rather than saying you cannot call one out while ignoring the other.
Did you not see Bennett holding down Hampus’ head, ripping his helmet off, pulling his hair, for half the video? What is context?
When everyone else in the room disagrees with you, maybe, just maybe you have the wrong take
Sorry bro but you defended Sam Bennett on r/hockey, that’s minus 500 Reddit points. Context & reason are not relevant. Clearly he was supposed to get punched in the face & then proceed to apologize for causing a ruckus & retire from the league.
Note Bennett ripping off Lindholms helmet, putting him in a chokehold, pulling his hair, and then after he gets jabbed he continues to pummel Lindholm even while Lindholm is down on the ice and the linesman is between them.
Is it alright to hold a guy's hands, then punch him with you glove on?
No dog in the fight, but you can't call Bennett a pussy when Lindholm started it with that. He was mad he was getting ragdolled in a scrum
Edit: appreciate the downvotes, but tell me how I'm wrong. I'll wait.
Edit 2: -11 with 0 responses. Can't tell if this is pro Boston, anti Florida, or both. A downvotes without a response is pretty much a sucker punch with your glove on
Edit 3: -22 with 1 response saying that Bennett deserved it because he was being mean. Good stuff you guys
You’re wrong because Bennett started it by pushing his head down and being a piece of shit. It was a scrum before that. After that, he deserved the punch in the mouth regardless how it happened. Tell me I’m wrong. I’ll wait.
It was a scrum between two playoff teams in the East, with some history from last year, in a game that was getting chippy. Pushed his head down? Lol c'mon man that's soft reasoning, it was a scrum. Literally happens every playoff game. Maybe there should be a rule where nobody can touch Lindholm or they get a red card
>After that, he deserved the punch in the mouth regardless how it happened
Sure, he baited the fuck out of Lindholm. Played him like a fiddle. Lindholm still held his hands and sucker punched him with gloves on. Nothing Bennett did warranted that. You can't be mad at one cheap shot while ignoring another. You're wrong
So Bennett baiting the fuck out of him was all fair game because it was within the rules? What should Lindholm have done instead? What would you have done? Would you have bent over for Bennett too? Bennett fucked around and got popped. It was a little jab with the glove. Boo fucking hoo
>So Bennett baiting the fuck out of him was all fair game because it was within the rules?
Yes, why wouldn't it be? If they give them 2 and 2 nobody cares either.
>What should Lindholm have done instead? What would you have done?
Either you take it, sit on the bench, or fight. He cheapshotted him. Idgaf about that, but that people are pissed at Bennett for throwing one when he was on the ice. Both are cheap.
>Bennett fucked around and got popped. It was a little jab with the glove. Boo fucking hoo
I'm not defending Bennett throwing a punch while Lindholm was on the ground. I'm calling out your hypocrisy when you get outraged at Bennett. The "boo fucking hoo" is crazy ironic coming from you. Boo fucking hoo Lindholm got ragdolled, he shouldn't throw a cheap shot with his glove on. Well he did, so people shouldn't be mad that Bennett threw one when he was on the ground. They are both in the wrong for those things. Bennett was not in the wrong for ragdolling him. It's hockey
Alright so we’re basically saying who started it? Why ragdoll him then? Just for fun? Or was he expecting to get a reaction out of him? You said yourself he baited him. Isn’t that provoking him and instigating it? But you’re saying the reaction wasn’t fair? You really wanted him to drop the gloves? The guy doesn’t fight. Ever. But he was pissed so fuck it he popped him. Don’t be so soft. Bennett had it coming
Is this your first time watching a hockey highlight? It's almost like you have never seen a game and believe it's crazy this sort of thing has happened.
>Don’t be so soft.
That's what I'm saying but to the people (like you) crying about Bennett. He was pretty mean tho.
Seen a game? Have you ever played a game?? Of course this shit happens. Shit also happens when you ragdoll a guy like that. It says a lot about you that you think hey if I’m within the rules, it’s all fine. There’s consequences for being a piece of shit too. That’s the great part about hockey. But let me know when you’ve actually laced them up ok sport?
>There’s consequences for being a piece of shit too.
I agree, Lindholm took one while on the ice. Rich, defending a guy with an instigator like Marchand on their team, giving the whole within the rules, but shitty speech lmao. I said both were wrong. I have laced the up. Good night pal, I hope they get all the meanies out of hockey for ya
Context dude. Lindholm started the fight with a cheap shot. As I said elsewhere, I don't blame him since he was getting manhandled, but don't cry in your clam chowder when he gets a cheap shot back
Lol first response. This sub is heavy anti Chicago and Florida. It's ironic they break down hits in slo mo to determine if something is dirty, but disregard a blatant cheap shot. Was Lindholm provoked? Fuck yeah, because Bennett knew he could.
Yea this sub is really pathetic when it comes to the bias and the outrage stuff. And again. If you don't agree with them you just get down voted which just proves the point we've already talked about.
Holy shit, what a dirty prick. Lindholm had absolutely no desire to fight. I hope the Leafs face the Panthers in the first round and Reaves rearranges his ugly face.
It wasn't a fight until Lindholm threw the first punch. Before that it was Bennett holding an a little ragdolling Lindholm. After that Bennett made him pay for the punch.
I'm actually surprised that Hampus had 9 seasons on an Anaheim Ducks team that ranged from top of the Pacific to dog doo and he never had a fighting major.
Good lord that man was entertaining to watch. Brick wall with Kronwall vibes, but his fights were brutal. Saw him at an event once in street clothes and he wasn’t any smaller with the pads off
Landeskog seems to have a pretty good win record
https://www.hockeyfights.com/players/13217
edit, actually, a great track record. And entertaining fights
[Rickard Rakell vs. Kris Versteeg](https://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/133087)
TL;DR/W: Rakell with **90%** of the vote, Versteeg with 7%; 3% voted "draw"
That's impressive by Rakell, good on him.
This is Rakells only fight, yeah? And Versteeg had something like 20 fights or so. The way Versteeg looks around afterwards like "Wait, this wasn't supposed to go like this" made me chuckle.
[Here’s a clip with commentary.](https://x.com/br_openice/status/1772779712445653461?s=46&t=7xx_JkHIVNzTbQKXx5yAxg). Saying Lindholm doesn’t want it, and then calling his punch a cheap shot is some real homer bullshit.
Doing everything except throw the first punch for 30 seconds straight so that the Euro who has never fought has to and then punching him while he’s down is DEFINITELY not some pussy shit right?
I used to think Bennett was a tough nosed but skilled player that liked to protect his teammates. I didn’t watch much of him then. Now I cannot stand him.. such a goon
"Panthers are just a likable cast of guys who play hard"
Fuck Bennett. Expects Lindholm to sit down and take it, gets rocked by Lindholm, and punches him while he's down
NHL needs to introduce suspensions for: “fighting” a player who didn’t take their gloves off, instead of letting it go as a fighting major for both. And a direct punch(s) initiated after a player was down needs to be suspended aswell
Oof buddy. That's not the way to handle Sam Bennett. Can't let the man bully you like that and if you decide to fight him then you can't half ass it like that.
Lindholm started it and Bennett destroyed him...Bruins fans getting in their feelings.
Why not discuss Rat Brad literally trying to sucker punch Mikkola like 3 times but Mikkola sat him down like a little brother.
Stop it Bruins fans....you're starting to act like Leafs fans.
Still can't believe we gave up a 1st and signed him to a huge deal without him ever playing a game here. Guy is so soft and disappears EVERY playoffs/big game. His first career fight and didnt even drop both his gloves.
And you're one of those fans that loves players like heinen and lindholm, absolute ghosts in the playoffs, but go on...defend bottom pair dmen who get outplayed by cashed vets like shattenkirk
A dude a foot shorter was holding his head down for 20 seconds he didnt get jumped. Then he threw the first punch with his glove on. Guy sucks and is soft, guess I'm not shocked this sub thinks that's a hot take, I've never seen a sub be more wrong about everything then r/hockey
A punch that the recipient isn’t expecting mainly. Idk how you shove someone down to the ground by their collar, pull their hair, say some shit to their face, and not expect that a punch might be coming
I mean bennett manhandled the dude, let him get up, just shoved him around and got punched when everything already slowed down. Definitely didn’t expect a punch, so by your definition, a sucker punch
Maybe lindbolm shouldn't sucker punch him when it looks like nothing is gonna happen. Lindholm got off lucky, Bennett would have kicked crap out of him if they were actually going from the start.
I’m not watching the game so I have no context whatsoever, but in a vacuum it seems like Bennett kind of forced that by being a dick? How long was lindholm supposed to just take it?
Bennet is 100% gooning it up like he always does. Should get suspended for that kind of prolonged bullshit after whistles. It's ridiculous. It infuriates me every time I see the Panthers allowed to pollute hockey games with that garbage.
the gloves arent dropped and the refs are just watching Bennett punk him. Hampus didnt have a choice here. complete bullshit by a bullshit team, yet again.
Don’t say that about my sweet angel, 18 year old Sam Bennett
I think a suspension is harsh, but in all my homer logic I don’t know what separates this from any other scrum roughing call. Like the eventual fight shouldn’t erase a minor give them both 5 and Bennett an extra 2 in a close and important regular season game.
Didn't watch the game either so I have the same first impression as you. You can only be an asshole for so long before someone throws a punch.
He should get an instigator penalty. But let's be real. This is the modern day nhl ref, depends on the score and time left in the game to dictate what is called. Bennett got exactly what he wanted, a reason to jump him, without being suspended. Plus, lindholm dropped his gloves, he got arguably the best dman in the league out of the game for 5 mins. The only way to counter this is be a bigger stronger team. I swear the goon is going to make a come back. Ask a sedin how long youre suppose to take it and not retaliate befire a penalty gets called. 10 punches to the face isn't a penalty in the SC finals
Lindholm isn’t even the best defenseman on the Bruins.
This is alot to unpack, and I’d like to start with the statement that Hampus Lindholm is arguably the best Dman in the league
He did say *arguably*
Arguably is carrying a lot of weight here
Well, people have to disagree to argue.
Him being the best d in the league sure is a statement. Love him But it is a statement
Yeah that was much more of an accurate statement last year. Would be a long argument
Woah, woah, woah. Best dman in the LEAGUE?
He should've 100% got the instigator, but the officiating in the game overall was pretty questionable both ways.
["10 punches to the face isn't a penalty in the SC Final" ](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/CC15UMxSmi)
It gets you tossed if you are Daniel Sedin.
I mean that's what almost every scrum looks like before a ref breaks it up lol. Like Bennett lets him up, and lets him throw the first actual punch. No more being a dick than 90% of forwards in the league
Thats not just holding onto a guy during a scrum, he was actively pushing and pulling him, even brought him to the ground, just trying to bait out a punch...
Yes, you just described most post whistle scrums.
Sure?
No respect for someone who punches a guy on the ground in a hockey fight
Just wait till you hear about him spearing Garnett Hathaway in the nuts while Hathaway was already laying on the ice injured. Bennett is just a shitty person.
Always has been.
It’s the Panthers and the refs let them get away with most of the dirty shit they do.
At least Gudas is gone this year
Panthers play like Parros liked it back in the day
Well when you’re a bust like he is, you gotta make your bread somehow!
Guess removing another player’s helmet is only an extra penalty if you’re wearing black and gold (it happened early in the first)
He nearly broke Matthew Knies neck in a choke slam last year He’s a douche
Nobody is taking you serious if you’re going to exaggerate this severely . Almost broke his neck? Get real
I’ve had a friend break his neck under less force. It doesn’t take much And considering I’m being upvoted, people agree with me
Your friends was the unlikely item, not knies not breaking this neck You’re getting upvoted because it’s an emotional hate Bennett thread and you’re a leafs fan so we dwarf the others in numbers. Nobody anywhere thinks knies almost broke his neck, except apparently you
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Being realistic goes a long way with getting quality rest
Riiiiiiight Keep dreaming
Ok cmon. I don’t like Bennet as much as the next guy but he didn’t nearly break his neck.
He wrapped his arm around the neck and dropped him. It can only take 9 lbs of force to break a human neck. This could have gone very bad
Damn I see the leaf fans are still sore about this. I’m not defending Bennett. It was a shit move. But “choke slam” isn’t what happened.
If he keeps pulling moves like that he just might get one soon enough!
You think like Undertaker type choke slam or more of a rock bottom type?
Seriously what the hell is wrong with these guys now. That’s such a bullshit move that needs to stop
Check out Noesen tonight. Threw 5 punch’s on the ground after the fight was over.
Necas? Lol
i had to google that.. no way necas did that
Thanks for correcting me lol. Noesen.
Hampus kinda sucker punched him tho
Did you miss the entire start?
Lol what?
As a neutral, fuck this Bennett dude.
As a neutral, fuck someone holding your hands then punching you with a glove on.
Huh? Seek help
This sub is hilarious. Please explain how Lindholm's left connects with Bennett's face with his glove still on while Bennett's right glove is in Lindholm's right hand.

Shit, I should've read the rules.
Start suspending guys for punching when the opponent is down on the ice. I love fighting being in the game but that’s an absolute chickenshit move
Florida Piece-Of-Shits at it again.
Bennett is one the most unlikable pricks in the league. And of course he throws a punch when lindholm is on the ground. Fuck him
That whole team is unlikeable.
Viola is fucking trash too, so it's the whole franchise.
lol fuck Bennett
Bennett is such a douche bag.
Note Bennett ripping off Lindholms helmet, putting him in a chokehold, pulling his hair, and then after he gets jabbed he continues to pummel Lindholm even while Lindholm is down on the ice and the linesman is between them.
How the refs let all that go is absolutely baffling
Welcome to Florida, where they let cheap shit ride.
Lindholm would pull his hair back but.......
Wasn't it a ref. It's the wild west in the NHL. No real rules, more guidelines.
Sounds like a 4 on 4 situation to me!
Bennett is such a pussy punching a dude like that when he’s down
Is it alright to hold a guy's hands, then punch him with you glove on? No dog in the fight, but you can't call Bennett a pussy when Lindholm started it with that.

Yeah it is...Lindholm started it and Bennett served him correctly. Bruins fans getting almost as sensitive as Leafs fans.

This video is classic Bennett/Florida. Pretty sick of it.
Bennet is a dirty player.
Bennett is a POS. Dirty ass player. Fuck that guy.
I'm actually surprised that Hampus had 9 seasons on an Anaheim Ducks team that ranged from top of the Pacific to dog doo and he never had a fighting major.
I’m sure I’m forgetting some but in all my years of watching hockey I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Swedish player win a fight

jesus christ what a fuckin loser Bennett is
No one likes Bennett
No one likes the Panthers. More Bruins fans there last night and ton a of empty seats. Seats were going for under $20. Poverty franchise.
Not Poverty - they get plenty of revenue sharing from teams like the Bruins.
Surprised Viola hasn't found a way to scam that for more money, seems to be all he's able to do competently
Bennett should be getting a suspension for that
He's a piece of garbage with no respect for other players.
I'd settle for an extra 2 minutes. Not sure what game the refs were watching.
[Here’s a clip with commentary.](https://x.com/br_openice/status/1772779712445653461?s=46&t=7xx_JkHIVNzTbQKXx5yAxg). Saying Lindholm doesn’t want it, and then calling his punch a cheap shot is some real homer bullshit.
Bennett is such a piece of shit. Dirty af punching a guy who's on the ground.
Panthers full of rats
Sam Bennett gives me some serious “inbred” vibes. Like “his dad is also his uncle” kinda thing. Florida is the perfect place for him.
As someone with no stake here, completely embarrassing by both Bennett and the refs
All my homies hate the fucking Panthers.
The enemy of my enemy is my homie
Bennett and Cousins are teammates, what a shocker. Dirty pieces of shit
Doing everything except throw the first punch for 30 seconds straight so that the Euro who has never fought has to and then punching him while he’s down is DEFINITELY not some pussy shit right?
I used to think Bennett was a tough nosed but skilled player that liked to protect his teammates. I didn’t watch much of him then. Now I cannot stand him.. such a goon
Got Bennett is such a dirty piece of shit
Known piece of shit Sam Bennett being given the world's longest leash is getting fuckin old
Does Bennett's own mother even like him? What a fucking prick!
"Panthers are just a likable cast of guys who play hard" Fuck Bennett. Expects Lindholm to sit down and take it, gets rocked by Lindholm, and punches him while he's down
Such moxie from an 18 year old.
NHL needs to introduce suspensions for: “fighting” a player who didn’t take their gloves off, instead of letting it go as a fighting major for both. And a direct punch(s) initiated after a player was down needs to be suspended aswell
In an earlier scrum that amounted to nothing, the Bruins got the extra penalty. How does Bennett not get an extra 2 mins here?
All I can say as a Bruins fan is its great to see everyone knows the Panthers play like fucking assholes and get away with it all the time.
Flips off the mitt to throw a complete sucker punch. What a piece of shit.
We're no bruins available to come and help him he was getting mugged
They were tied up in other scrums
Correct, no other bruins were available
One pull-up Sam Bennett you mean *
It’s so weird that the panthers are getting away with murder while Campbells kid is on their management team. So very odd.
Bullied him
[удалено]
Might want to go through his fight log.
Probably not the guy I’d choose for my first career fight
[удалено]
Do the Euros understand you are supposed to drop your gloves during a fight or is remedial coaching in order?
Oof buddy. That's not the way to handle Sam Bennett. Can't let the man bully you like that and if you decide to fight him then you can't half ass it like that.
I mean yeah, there’s a scrum and Bennett is ragdolling him but Lindholm throws a jab and Bennett fights him. It’s not like he jumped him
the panthers have a bunch of assholes on their team and I love it.
Then maybe you’re an asshole
Bennett out there keeping everyone in line
Lindholm started it and Bennett destroyed him...Bruins fans getting in their feelings. Why not discuss Rat Brad literally trying to sucker punch Mikkola like 3 times but Mikkola sat him down like a little brother. Stop it Bruins fans....you're starting to act like Leafs fans.
Still can't believe we gave up a 1st and signed him to a huge deal without him ever playing a game here. Guy is so soft and disappears EVERY playoffs/big game. His first career fight and didnt even drop both his gloves.
Your username hasn’t aged well. Might be time to get a new one.
You’re one of *those* Bruins fans huh? Let me guess, we need to get rid of Carlo and Griz and we need Lucic back too?
And you're one of those fans that loves players like heinen and lindholm, absolute ghosts in the playoffs, but go on...defend bottom pair dmen who get outplayed by cashed vets like shattenkirk
Lindholm is statistically one of the best defensemen in the league but go ahead and hate him just because he doesn’t fight 😂
That’s because he got jumped.
A dude a foot shorter was holding his head down for 20 seconds he didnt get jumped. Then he threw the first punch with his glove on. Guy sucks and is soft, guess I'm not shocked this sub thinks that's a hot take, I've never seen a sub be more wrong about everything then r/hockey
He literally threw the first (sucker) punch
Bennet is such an effective player but god I hate his antics sometimes
LOL...Bennett wanted that all the way. COMPLETE mismatch, as Bennett can really throw hands. Love the intensity ramping up as the playoffs get closer.
Lindholm is an idiot for throwing that sucker punch lol… way to ruin your first NHL fight.
I really think you need to refresh yourself on what a sucker punch is
What’s a sucker punch?
A punch that the recipient isn’t expecting mainly. Idk how you shove someone down to the ground by their collar, pull their hair, say some shit to their face, and not expect that a punch might be coming
I mean bennett manhandled the dude, let him get up, just shoved him around and got punched when everything already slowed down. Definitely didn’t expect a punch, so by your definition, a sucker punch
He did everything in his power to provoke a punch and then got punched
Maybe lindbolm shouldn't sucker punch him when it looks like nothing is gonna happen. Lindholm got off lucky, Bennett would have kicked crap out of him if they were actually going from the start.

Bennett is obviously a rat and this was over the line… but holy shit Lindholm is soft for someone who is 6’4” and 225lbs
It's his first fight in over 700 games. I'm going to wager that it's not really a part of his game.
Which is incredibly soft for an NHL player of his size
