FLA strategy to get in the heads of the Bruins has also transfered over to the fans. Crazy that so ,much talk is about the reffing and hockey players being rough, when the on-ice play has so heavily favored FLA.
Yes, Bennett should have been suspended, especially given that Soucy got suspended. DoPS is inconsistent. No argument. Would Bennett being suspended and/or Marchand being in the last game make a difference in the outcome of the series? Not a chance.
FLA is more talented and tougher than the Bruins. Same could be said for the 2011 Bruins, when so many opposing fans were whining about the refs and the thuggish nature of the Bruins. Bruins fans loved it when their team was the hammer instead lf the nail. The hammer wins Cups. The nails make excuses,
