Chaos Breaks Loose After Intentional Headshot By Sam Bennett On Stuart Skinner In Game 2
Tonight during Game 2 absolute chaos broke out after Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett ran goaltender Stuart Skinner setting up a wild brawl.
The Stanley Cup Finals to this point has been surrounded in heated controversy involving questionable calls by the referees.
Tonight that has continued just over halfway through the first period of Game 2 when Sam Bennett made contact with goaltender Stuart Skinner.
This is, of course, the second time Bennett finds himself under fire for a goaltender interference issue in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bennett goes flying into Skinner and sends him falling into the post head first leading Skinner to stay down on the ice.
Luckily, Skinner would be okay and stay in the game and Sam Bennett would also be given a two minute minor penalty for goaltender interference.
Despite the clear contact the goaltender interference call has drawn severe backlash from fans who do not believe a penalty should have been called.
Bennett has continued to be a thorn in the side of the Oilers even earlier in the period as well with a controversial slash on Mattias Ekholm just before a goal scored by the Panthers.
Regardless of the opinion of fans on the call the Oilers would head to the power play and immediately make Bennett pay for running Skinner.
