Reverse the roles and everyone on here doesn’t even mention suspension Reverse the roles and the Leaf player in Bennett's position would already be suspended for two games, if not more.

Its definitely what caused the concussion imo. He basically took a sucker punch to the jaw.
Florida managed to injure Bergeron, Krejci and Pasta without anyone testing Tkachuks mouth guard. I don't get it.
Same with Leafs, that neck crosscheck messed up my spine just from watching it. If it's allowed and /or refs are ignoring it, you NEED to send someone from Panthers on LTIR. Otherwise, they will just rat their way to SC finals and your players get injured instead of pos in Florida.
Why would they change what's working? Refs are letting it go because it's playoffs and Mitch is not revenge fighting anyone.
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame Bunting for playing like POS, I mean sure, he Bennet and Tkachuk are "nice guys" of the ice (of course they are,they have to be, compare to on-ice, otherwise they'll be in jail ).
I blame refs, but mosty two teams unable to crosscheck one of the Panthers properly.
Than again. Florida got Gudas ready to fight anyone keeping us well withing the rulebook.
