Jamie Benn's Dangerous Plays Are Going Uncalled – And the NHL Needs to Step Up
The Dallas Stars captain has a pattern of dangerous, uncalled plays in this series. From a slew-foot on Matt Boldy in Game 2 to a cross-check to the head in Game 3, Benn's antics are escalating. The Wild are already missing key players, and Boldy almost got seriously hurt. The officials keep looking the other way, and the Department of Player Safety hasn't acted. But here's the thing: if the league doesn't step in now, someone's going to get badly injured. And that would ruin what could be the best playoff series this year. The truth is, it's not just Benn – Wyatt Johnston speared Kirill Kaprizov in a sensitive spot with no call either. What's it going to take for the NHL to finally enforce its own rules?
This is getting out of hand. Benn's been doing this for years, and the refs just let it slide. Full breakdown here: https://geni.us/ABCnews
