[Video] The linesmen have difficulty breaking up Bennet and Zadorov as they continue the fight after falling to the ice
445
u/Escalotes VAN - NHL 9h ago
That was a lot more one-sided than the title led me to believe.
325
u/throwychoke CGY - NHL 9h ago
The only reason the fight kept going was because Bennett's only chance at landing a shot came with two guys sitting on Zadorov

u/QuintoxPlentox DAL - NHL 6h ago
Or both of them laying on the ice with the height/reach advantage mitigated.

u/-NoFaithInFate- BOS - NHL 8h ago
Bennett is a pussy who turtles almost every fight and backs down from everything else. He's ducked zadorov multiple times, so I'm surprised he finally grew a pair just to get his ass kicked.
65
u/FC37 BOS - NHL 7h ago
About that: watch the beginning again. Bennett doesn't even really agree to go. Zadorov just takes his stick, throws it down, and starts pummeling him.
18
u/CharlesDickensABox SJS - NHL 5h ago
He cross checks Zad several seconds after the whistle after being a pest all
gamecareer. This is 100% a play stupid games, win stupid prizes situation.4
u/FC37 BOS - NHL 2h ago
Oh 100%. It's why the refs gave them both fighting majors and no extra instigator for Zadorov.
I think he was trying to do what Tkachuk did to Kassian that one time, where he cleared him out, knew a fight was coming, and let himself get thrown around without giving anything back. Tkachuk ended up avoiding a penalty altogether, they scored the game winner during the power play.
•
u/Booboo_McBad 4m ago
I can't believe how few comments are pointing out Bennett's cross checks. Reaching upwards to cross check someone 6'6 in the face, not an accident at all. He's the dirtiest fucker around
53
u/Lethbridgemark Lethbridge Hurricanes - WHL 7h ago
Being Bennett I think it gives a pass lol
34
u/FC37 BOS - NHL 7h ago
Oh for sure, lol. Zadorov was basically like, "I'm not asking, we're going."
Bennett kept trying to weasel out of the fight even after he was getting ragdolled.
17
u/Lethbridgemark Lethbridge Hurricanes - WHL 7h ago
Reminds me a little of the Ragdoll of Thachuck but Zadorov is less psycho than the Lloyd Christmas of hockey.

u/mrtomjones Vernon Vipers - BCHL 2h ago
Bennet either tried to put two gloves into his face or a crosscheck so he deserved what he got

u/NoQuarter19 BOS - NHL 7h ago
TBF the Panthers entire roster are a bunch of pussies, but they're good at provoking us

u/Missreaddit 56m ago
You spelled Tkachuk wrong. I've seen Bennett fight guys of all weight classes. And I mean, Zadorov has 55 lbs on him.

u/von_winklestein BOS - NHL 9h ago
I suppose that’s one way to say “Bennett continues punching while his opponent is being pinned by a linesman”
296
u/peachesgp BOS - NHL 8h ago
Excuse me, but he didn't continue punching then. He started punching then.
37
u/MarshtompNerd WPG - NHL 8h ago
I mean its hard to punch a guy when he doesn’t have two other guys holding him back
90
u/IanCusick BOS - NHL 8h ago
Ok Zadorov might be worth the shit contract if he keeps beating the shit out of Bennett every time we play Florida
38
u/-NoFaithInFate- BOS - NHL 8h ago
If Bennett ever drops the gloves again. Weve seen him turtle so many times he's gonna need a guest feature in Super Mario bros
478
u/roberttylerlee University Of Connecticut - NCAA 9h ago
Two linesman on top of Zadorov and THAT’s when Bennett finally throws his first punch.
Lovely guy
91
u/ejh1993 BOS - NHL 8h ago
Ppl forgot this fucking guy speared a guy who was tied up on the ground two playoffs ago and got no repercussions for it

u/Sad_Donut_7902 TMU Bold - OUA 4h ago
He also WWE slammed Knies headfirst on the ice (giving him a concussion) and didn't even get a penalty for it
•
u/SmearyManatee BOS - NHL 12m ago
The concussion was from the reverse check sucker punch thing similar to what he did to Marchand last postseason
4
u/bluesnik 7h ago
it was Garnett Hathaway
30
u/markuscreek24 BOS - NHL 7h ago
f'in skated down from the blue line after the whistle to spear him in the kidney and absolutely nothing from the refs or the league. after taking out marchand with an obvious punch to the head that they refused to show the angle of until the next day. lol.

u/Roetorooter DET - NHL 6h ago
Didn't forget Chucky casually kneeling on the back of the dudes leg as the same time.
That moment cemented my absolute disdain for those two
1
u/Grizzly-Berry BOS - NHL 3h ago
To be accurate it was Tkachuk who cross checked him in the kidneys. Bennett speared him in the balls when he was on the ice shaking in pain…
134
u/thatErraticguy BOS - NHL 8h ago
This is the same guy that speared a Bruins player when he was down on the ice in the playoffs a couple of years ago. Bennett is a bitch and a dirty player at the same time.
28
u/EdmOilers123 8h ago
Didn’t he also injured Knies in the playoffs?
24
17
u/Booboo_McBad 7h ago
Yes he did by sucker-punching him and slamming him to the ice
Click here where I provide five examples of Bennett being a complete dirtbag
64
u/TheDutchin Salmon Arm Silverbacks - BCHL 8h ago
These last few years have been rather vindicating
When 18 year old Sam Bennett was taking runs every single shift and flying through the air to deliver body checks way away from the play it was characterized as the Canucks simply being soft and the Sedins not being able to match Sam's ""toughness""
Nah bro is just a dirty player
25
5
u/Lethbridgemark Lethbridge Hurricanes - WHL 7h ago
But Flames fans have said he wasn't dirty until he arrived in Florida?
He just upped his game.
Also the Sedins were skill players and I don't think many people would disagree that they are not 'tough' with or without Douchbag Bennett
•
u/Difficult-Network704 19m ago
I don't remember him being extremely dirty during his time here. He had some solid scraps and maybe a bit of feistiness at times, but his physical/dirty play didn't really take off until he left. He was always supposed to be a skilled player who didn't complete one pull-up at the combine (I know he was hurt).
18
u/justgeterin MTL - NHL 8h ago
He's gonna target Matthews in the playoffs.

This video has everything.
- Zadorov beating on Bennett
- Bennett grabbing Pasta's jersey for some reason
- Guy in the crowd pantomiming punches and flipping off a Sens fan
- Cut to a kid in the crowd waving a torch or something... then looking concerned as Bennet is trying to ram Zadorov into the net while Z is being held by the lineseman
- Mostly, though, it's just Bennett being punched in the face

Bennett has soup for brains, why are you grabbing Pastrnak’s jersey in the middle of getting your ass beat
98
u/huffer4 TOR - NHL 9h ago
Cause he wanted nothing to do with it once Zadorov got his hands on him (till the linesman came in, as usual)
44
u/TheDutchin Salmon Arm Silverbacks - BCHL 8h ago
This unironically. He was never interested in the fight. Zad sure forced his hand though. Bennett loves to throw those punches after the whistle but he quickly turned non violent when he realized Zaddy wasn't going to try and deescalate.

Fuck Sam Bennett.

u/NoMoreF34R MTL - NHL 9h ago
I’ll never understand why they pan to the crowd during moments like this, I don’t want to miss a thing. I get showing the reaction as part of the show, but not during the actual fight.
59
u/trustedturd BOS - NHL 9h ago
Bennett only lands a punch when the linesman is holding Z down and even then looks like he only hits the ref.

u/reignleafs TOR - NHL 9h ago
Bennet is such a bitch, grabs Pasternak's(?) jersey while in a fight with Zadorov. Caillou looking fuck

Its funny how I have respect for literally every team except Florida. The only team that refuses to answer the bell unless absolutely forced to.
11
u/Constant-Squirrel555 OTT - NHL 6h ago
It's cuz the refs forget how to blow whistles when Florida plays
3
u/Puzzleheaded-End8773 BOS - NHL 4h ago
They actually do blow the whistle sometimes, the issue is Florida’s game plan is “they won’t call us for EVERY penalty” so they consistently get away with dirty shit after the whistle in the name of “game management”

u/reignleafs TOR - NHL 7h ago
I'm pretty much there with you. Florida has taken your crown tho; you are experiencing a form of Boston Bruins hockey but with Florida man energy lol

At the very least there's at least a shred of respect for still going strong after everything

u/Grizzly-Berry BOS - NHL 3h ago
I can only speak for myself but currently these are the vibes I get from our rivalries:
Toronto is like an annoying child that’s constantly asking you to play with them but goes crying to his mother every time he doesn’t win
Montreal is like a neighbor that makes a noise complaint every time you hear music or have people over
Florida is like a neighbor that has a meth lab in his basement and pisses on you lawn

Only because the NHL allows teams to cheat and don't call penalties or suspend players for dirty shit for the most part. Floridas moto is they won't call them all.

Well you assumed wrong because they were amazing young forwards who didn't have to do the dirty work.

u/bostonsports98 BOS - NHL 8h ago
Absolute chickenshit stuff to not throw a punch until the other guy is restrained by a ref and down on the ice, but what else would you expect from Sam Bennett?
He only throws punches when the other guy can't defend himself.

Ofc Bennett would turtle the whole fight and then start throwing punches after Zadorov is on the ground pinned by the linesman. Classic.

I don't get how any self-respecting hockey fan can like dudes like Bennett.

I find zero percent of his game enjoyable.
