It bugged me that all the the TV crew and even Dave Jackson the rules analyst, all fell short of ever saying it was dirty. They even tried to excuse it a bit and give Benn some benefit of the doubt. It was very clear what he did and what he intended to do, and it’s time for the NHL to crack down on this kind of stuff and not with just a 1-2 game suspension. I’m all for hard hitting tough hockey games, but this and what he did to Larkin were way over the line. They either need to impose much longer suspensions and or way bigger fines big enough to actually be a deterrent for this kind of thing.

Benn is a piece of shit. Period.

Benn never had to answer for mugging the Captain. The Wings are embarrassing to watch. Ottawa ran them out of the arena. Sickening.
