Bennet is full of sh##. He new he hit him.

I know it's hockey, but something else that is hockey is lying about what you tried to do or not do.

It doesn’t look that bad to me, meaning no wind up or follow through motions, but he definitely put his elbow in a bad place and skated through to make contact.

It was the stick that hit stolarz. Almost like a mini cross check. He knew exactly what he was doing and of course he didn’t want to injur him, but, hey, if it happens it happens.

i still think that if TO looks like they are going out next game, if someone doesn’t end Bennet’s playoffs, then they don’t deserve to win, ever.

I remember hearing that, just prior to that hit, Reinhart had wired a wrister off Stolarz's (sp?) mask. It may be that he was concussed, was trying to play through it, and then the Bennett contact sent him over the edge.

So if Edmonton does go all the way this year and wins it, Jeff Skinner will in fact continue the legacy of leaving the Sabres and winning the cup even though (barring injuries) he will have only played in one playoff game in his entire career and I believe only for a few minutes. Wouldn't that be something.

No.   He will be very expensive and his track record is to disappear in the playoffs. 

No room in Buffalo for a guy who has 62 points in 68 playoff games
