As if Clutterbuck didn’t have that comming to him.

It was a cheap shot, but I could understand why Benn did it (still not acceptable, though). Losing 5-1 game at home, five minutes left, and a player with 87 career point goes hard to the net and gives a decent amount of contact to the goalie.

it was retalliation. not a cheap shot in any way, when you take a team’s goalie out you better have your head up because someone’s gonna see you out there. Benner got a 5 minuter for cross checking and a game misconduct, which is exactly what was deserved in my opinion. Kid should’ve gotten a sit for embellishment though, no doubt. you’re on ice, atleast try to keep your balance you girly man. oh, and get a haircut while you’re at it.

Yes it was a cross check, it was not a head shot, no blood and not run into the boards. No suspension IMO should’ve been a minor penalty only.

Love the hear the Oiler’s fans whine! Remember the Clutterbuck hit from Hall? And watch, no Oiler will challenge Benn next season.

Benn clearly just wanted to hit him…Jones clearly embellished.

I don’t think a suspension is warranted in any way.

Ryan Jones is a baby and flopper.

I’m not a fan of either team and in my mind that was a really cheap shot by Benn. If he wanted a piece of Jones then he should have been man enough to call him on not cheap shot the guy from behind! That was a very cowardly move on Benn’s part and definitely deserves a suspension….It’s pretty sad when a normally good player does something so stupid like this….

No way! If he does then they should both be suspended. That was embarrassing to watch.

Suspend that baby for embellishment! Good lord, he looked like a fish out of water!
