He's also lucky he didn't get a goalie skate in the kisser. Doesn't look like it missed by much.
Please. Jeff Carter wasn't looking for popcorn, he was looking up at the players' wives section.

Sometimes there are miracles in this world.
And as if it is a joke,
That the best game for our men
By accident was born in Canada.
To the battle on ice
Everyone had that passion. That ancient passion.
Shaybu! Shaybu!
The victory is ours.
Shaybu! Shaybu!
Guys, we are with you.
And if it’s really needed, we will score another
Shaybu! Shaybu!
Russia is behind you.
Shaybu! Shaybu!
Guys, you are the strength!
We are the Russian team,
We are the Red Machine!
We are the Red Machine

Are those pants or sweats? They look more like sweats and, if so, it's confusing as to why he has a belt on.

This is stunning to me.
Benn clearly targeted the head and followed through with an elbow. Matt Cooke is a piece of shit, but you can't allow other people to be dirtbags to him and have it be ok, as much as we may wish it. I have no idea what the player safety committee was thinking.
"(Mike) Heika’s (of the Dallas Morning News) theory is that Benn was making a protective, defensive play against Cooke, rather than a predatory one.
Yes, there is a difference. The NHL sees defensive plays as reactive rather than premeditated. It doesn’t mean these aren’t penalties – and it’s a total joke that Benn’s wasn’t – but under the current standards of player safety, a defensive hit like Benn’s isn’t subject to supplemental discipline.

So Marchand ducking a guy charging him at the last second wasn't seen as a protective, defensive play that isn't suspendable? That's such a bullshit answer from the NHL.
Edit: Not saying Marchand shouldn't have been suspended. Just saying that the explanation is bullshit and Benn should have been sat down.

I think the real prick here is whoever stuck a leaf-bleeding beaver scarf around that guy's neck.
Jeez, NHL, you couldn't even let the Cubs be champions in the bad mascot race for a month? That's pretty harsh.
At least it wasn't Rob Laurie, that would get really wierd
I totally had to look up his name though.

Therrien's no doubt using this as a training video. "Watch the head rocket backwards upon contact—good stuff, Brendan. See that, boys? Stick and arms flailing in the air at all times….."PedroSpecialK said:Seeing things like this happen to Brendan Gallagher is awesome
