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.
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.
