Benn hit on Toews - Tough Call Review

Jamie Benn may not have hit the head, but he came about as close anyone could without actually doing it.

Standard dirty play by Benn.

Great comment. I wasn't sure if it was a major, but definitely charging. Refs mist it. I don't understand they rule saying major or nothing. If you review it and want to get it right, let the officials fix it!!!!

They called it a major on the ice, then reviewed it and decided it wasn’t a penalty at all - refs didn’t miss, they just chose not to penalize the hit.

@matthewfroese3889 You are mistaken. Refs only called after a conference with the linesman. In that situation, they can only call a major to review it. Then the rule is they have to keep the major or nothing. They missed the live call. If you watched, neither raised their hand and play went on until they stopped wirh Avs possession. IMO they missed the charge call. 😀

I definitely see that as a penalty, somewhere between minor and major, but I don't feel it is worthy of a match penalty. Benn is a player I have said must be more careful, and I am far from alone.

You said "that purple color" which makes me wonder do I have color blindness or do you have color blindness? To me it's a quite plainly a red and white jersey. But ya Benn... in the first round and for the first time in years I thought the reffing was not as terrible as usual but erase that because they are back to being their normal god-awful, so god-awful! selves. Crazy that the world's best players have to put up with this league.

It’s actually burgundy but I didn’t want to re-record. Lol.
