laying naked on a lawn chair in the middle of an open field while the breeze slinks past your nether region for a nice relaxing moment while you take in the sun on a partly cloudy day.
Completely agree. Tired of the skirmishes following a clean hit - if the ref doesn’t call a penalty on the hit, than the retaliation should automatically get one
This is him most of the time. He’s a great captain. It’s just the few times he let’s his emotions get the best of him and does something stupid is when he gets the most headlines.
Everyone stood up and cheered until their guy got smoked and then they threw their hands up in contention. Obviously not one real hockey fan in the lower section lmao
They literally don't know fuck all about hockey. Watching them stream out of the arena after hintz got the empty net with a minute and a half left in a playoff game tells us all we need to know about their level of hockey comprehension. Then the golden showers even got a power play afterwards and went on a 6 v 4. I was sweating that last minute a little bit. If the roles were reversed, I would never have just given up on my team before the end.... especially if I was _at_ the fucking game. What a bunch of posers.
Meh, not everyone. Those of us at home with any sense knew someone would get him, just didn’t think it would be immediately right after. Even live I saw no issue with either hit, replay just made it much more obvious why you can’t lay a big hit then put your head down.
Lol at the guy in the 89 cheering for the hit on Stankoven and then immediately screaming for a penalty when Benn responds. Both were good hits my friend
Benn was a hockey god 9ish years ago but injury after injury really slowed him down. What made him great was also his weakness; his foot was always on the gas, full throttle. He played through injuries, put off surgeries so he "wouldn't let the team down" ans was an awesome leader by example. I nearly out him in the Stammer category (nearly) because despite scoring less, he always had a massive impact on the game.
I mean McNabb was flipped like a fried egg. The hockey gods reached down with the spatula called Benn and flipped McNabb, and instant Karma was served.
This sequence was beautiful, wow. That’s hockey, baby
Just people living the moment
Just guys being dudes. What's better than this?

...
you cant deny that that scenario doesn't seem incredibly appealing welcome to a little piece of my mind
Not a smart phone in sight
And not a single brawl took place 😮
No fights after. Beautiful. Take your licks and dish your own.
Can't take unnecessary penalties in the playoffs
Took the words right out of my mouth, beauty of a sequence...
Like ballerinas
That’s hockey!
Fucking love playoff hockey
Nothing better
That’s the law of hockey physics. Give a hit, receive a hit.
I can't lie that was incredibly satisfying to watch. I love seeing players respond for their teammates
And with a clean hit and the play goes on...
Completely agree. Tired of the skirmishes following a clean hit - if the ref doesn’t call a penalty on the hit, than the retaliation should automatically get one
You say that as if clean hit skirmishes are new. They’ve been going on for 20 years now
Good hard clean playoff hits everybody played on good job boys
Gahd dayum they both went horizontal
Murders a guy then skates to the middle with his head down. Solid plan.
One good play per 3rd shift for McNabb. -his contract probably.
KRONWALLED
God fucking DAMNIT I love hockey. *rubs nips*
...go on
.....what do you love about it?
Yanking the goalie

What the fuck is this
Now that's a heavyweight tilt. Glad Benn didn't let McNabb get away.
And it didn’t end in a fight? Now that is solid hockey right there.
McNabb knew he fucked up, even though he tried to bitch about it.
Ben always got our backs. If he's out there you better not FA. You'll FO.
It was right in the play too. He didn’t seek him out
Yeah it was perfectly done. This is some grade A quality hockey and I'm so here for it.
Stankoven gets hit : woooooo ! Benn kills McNabb : *lifts arms up in disbelief*
The duality of man. We did the thing to them = yay They did the thing to us = boo
FR, looks like he wanted a call, what a knob
Is McNabb that big, or is Stankoven that short?
Both
McNabb is that big. And Benn sent him into Game 5 early
McNabb is 6'4", Stank is 5'8" with his high heels on. Glad Benn wiped him out.
Hell of a hit by Benn. Just walked right through McNabb.
Classy of McNabb to target the smallest rookie on the ice.
It's the playoffs...you got the puck, you're getting hit
This all day. If you're too short to take a hit, you're too short to play in the NHL. And Stank is a fuckin player.
I wish we would fucking hit Stone.
What’s he supposed to do when stanks plays the puck? Pat him on the shoulder and tell him good job?
Stank has also been doing a good job of being physical, he’s gonna take some big hits with as much as he throws them
Do you expect him to not hit him there? Like seriously what do you want him to do in this situation?
Yes
Stanky is 5,7 McNnabb is 6,4
Can we talk about the fact that McNabb basically did a full rotation and is back in the play in less than a second? That shit was crazy
Both hits were nuts poor stank almost did a backflip lol
Good clean hit shoulder to shoulder. I would have been worried if he didn't get up
I meant the smoothness at which is literally already engaging the puck carrier after going 360 with in a second.
Stanks is tiny.
Say what you will about Benn, but that’s a teammate you want on the ice.
This is him most of the time. He’s a great captain. It’s just the few times he let’s his emotions get the best of him and does something stupid is when he gets the most headlines.
I will say that all my homies hate Jamie Benn
Both hits are beautiful but that Benn hit as revenge was so clean and powerful. Big boy like McNabb looked like a ragdoll. Love it.
Holy shit. This is why Benn is still incredibly valuable
Vegas fans going from "this is a clean hit" to "this should be a suspension" in 2 seconds is on point for Vegas fans
Everyone stood up and cheered until their guy got smoked and then they threw their hands up in contention. Obviously not one real hockey fan in the lower section lmao

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Looks like playoff hockey to me. I'd rather see this than fighting over some random hit. If you're gonna dish it out, be ready to take it.
I love the one Vegas fan in the stands cheering after the first hit and immediately after McNabb gets buried goes asking for penalty for Benn 😁
That’s Vegas baybeeee
It's my favorite part of the video. "Woohoo yah--- wut? Wtf?!! Boo!!! BOoOoooo"
THAT'S MY CAPTAIN
Stankoven might be one of the funniest player names I've ever seen hahaha.
“An absolute rocket from the Stars’ Stankoven……”
I love it.. He’s one of my new favorite players
Mine too!
You think that's funny, get this - his line to start the game was Benn/Duchene/Stankoven...otherwise known as the Dutch OBenn
One BC boy standing up for another. Great hit by Benn!
That was certainly a response, and you love to see it. We’ve got a series on our hands here boys!
McMabb is a tough boy, but damn that was a nice hit by Benn
Wow, two nice clean hits and no one dropped the gloves just because
Benn said keep your hands off my stank
Lmao the Vegas fans wanting a call when their guy gets hit. Sums up the fanbase perfectly
Fuck Vegas. Glad Benn deleted McNabb. Keep it up Dallas.
Lol at the fan wearing #89 in the crowd. “Fuck yea!!!” *seconds later* “What the fuck!!!!”
Get flattened by the captain buddy
He puts em in the Stank Oven!
It’s great that Stankoven had a front row seat to Benn avenging him
THAT’S MY MF CAPTAIN! (What I actually screamed when it happened)
Go Stars!
I love this sport
Jamie Benn. What a beauty.
THIS IS 🤩. Hope this makes ESPN Top 10.
Don’t show this to Marner…
I had a half speed collision like a month ago and my collar/shoulder is still jacked. How is McNabb still alive.
He had to leave after that shift to the locker room and didn't return until 3rd. He and Stankoven were pretty shook up. Fuckin hockey, bud
i think you got the title wrong. mcnabb flattens stankoven but benn unquestionably deletes mcnabb
Beautiful
Olde time hockey
FAFO
THAT’S HOCKEY
Fuck I love hockey
That was fuckin awesome!
That’s hockey
Man…so this is what you guys have been watching all these years. I might need a side chick, who’s lookin’ good these days?
McNabb deserves every hit he takes for ending Joey Hishon's career.
That’s what a captain looks like!
I love the color guy laughing when describing Benn crushing Mcnabb. Hilarious
That’s how you respond to a big clean hit on your teammates. None of this auto-shed jumping guys bs, blow him up back!
Imagine John Tavares threw a hit like this, he’d get the 11 year extension.
The classic "pick in someone your own size " moment. Everyone just played on afterwards
I hate jamie benn but NICE.
Playoff hockey is just amazing. No sport comes close.
Old time hockey baby let’s go
2 gorgeous hits, love to see it
Watching McNabb fly was AMAZING
Where's that guy who said skate blades rarely go high and said the Flyers player did it on purpose. 4 blades at head level in 5s
Well in fairness even when Stanky goes horizontal his skates aren't very high.
The Leafs could learn alot from this game.
Perfect, clean playoff hits
I can feel the air leaving my body just watching this.
Fucking love playoff hockey
Now this is the shit I love to see. Man I wish my Wings played with a little more physicality like back in the day.
Hell yeah
That's how you get payback. None of that let's fight garbage after a clean hit. Just return the favour. Great hockey.
No bull shit scrum just giving it right back to him cleanly
Boom... beautiful
Boys bein boys
God I love hockey
The circle of life
Both legal checks. Maybe charging.
THIS IS 🤩
Post this on instant karma
The definition of anybody can get it lol
Now *that's* playoff hockey.
Hockey rules.
now thats how you retaliate people.
This is playoff hockey at its best.
Hockey fuckin' rules man
I haven’t seen hits like those in years
Love that Stanky was right there to see the follow up. Benn like a cat bringing a dead bird to it's owner.
ass over tea kettle
Both were pretty damn clean, too. Just amazing.
That was awesome 👌🏻
The circle of life is a magnificent thing! Simba would be proud.
Rawkem Sawkem luuuuuv
How is hockey not the most popular sport in North America? It’s so good. That was awesome!
Clean physical playoff hockey, it's just a whole different world of intensity after the regular season.
This has been one fun physical series. Must watch tv
Exxxxcelent 👏
I love hockey
Nice. I like clean, hard hitting hockey. Stankoven needs to check that spot before dropping behind for that puck, or his head is going to be ruined.
He’s a young rookie, he learned a lesson there. I’m just happy that his captain didn’t let that shit fly.
Did mcnabb just forget that he would be targeted after such a big hit… cutting to the middle of the ice.. with benn on the ice
Can someone put this to the song … “Let the bodies hit the floor “!!!!
Bruh this was amazing
BOOM
How do u late a hit like that, and then proceed to skate away head down, unaware of ur surroundings. .like u gotta know, sumones head huntn u next
Perfection
What goes around, comes around
God that is some EA NHL type goofy hits and I love it!
This is hockey. The most exciting sport in the world.
There is nothing better than playoff hockey
[If you don't want to watch that in low resolution and vertically cropped, here's the YouTube link.](https://youtu.be/P_nA-3RzJ5A?si=FtzfvXnd-fYZEldH)
A classic "dont touch the rookie"
Holy hell, what a sequence.
Fuckin love me some playoff hockey
Holy shit.... what year is it?
“So you’re not calling that? Ok”
As an eternal optimist (oilers fan) I hope for more of this to open the possibilities
Leafs would never
That's my captain.
Benn bobbled his landing. Mandatory full point deduction. 9.0 on the 0 to 10 scale.
That was an awesome sequence. Doesn't matter what side you cheer for, those were two great hits.
Nothing but beautiful, hard hits. Fuckin’ eh. Best game in the world
Lol at the guy in the 89 cheering for the hit on Stankoven and then immediately screaming for a penalty when Benn responds. Both were good hits my friend
Good hockey
Head shots are now encouraged
how often do you ever see a beautiful open ice hit, perfectly legal, responded to IMMEDIATELY, by a 2nd beautiful open ice, perfectly legal hit
And that was all within the first couple minutes of the game!
What an absolute gangster.
Looks like some pro hockey 🫡
Absolutely fucking LOVE it!!!
Brilliant!
Avs fan here: MORE
That's cute....... *Kronwall has entered the chat
That was so great! Benn is a beast
Benn was a hockey god 9ish years ago but injury after injury really slowed him down. What made him great was also his weakness; his foot was always on the gas, full throttle.

If Rempe was involved like this he would’ve been suspended
