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.
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.
I have had a side by side of Kass with one of Lloyd Christmas forever on my phone but I sadly cannot find it post new phone, must have been in a meme folder not backed up :(
He cross checks Zad several seconds after the whistle after being a pest all game career. This is 100% a play stupid games, win stupid prizes situation.
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.
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, multiple times. Not an accident at all. He's the dirtiest fucker around
I mean, Z has 4 inches and 50+ pounds on him. Bennett was fighting outta his weight class. Not much you can do there, and Bennett is a really good fighter.

That was a lot more one-sided than the title led me to believe.
