New angle of Bennett's cheap shot on Marchand worse than the original
A new angle from Sam Bennett's hit on Brad Marchand shows an even better look at the cheap shot that injured Marchand.
Marchand did not suit up for Game 4 tonight after sustaining an injury from what many thought was just a hit from Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett in Game 3. Marchand is currently listed as day-to-day and Bennett escaped a penalty on the play and any supplemental discipline to Bruins' fans dismay.

To make matters worse for the Bruins, Bennett scored the tying goal midway through the third period on a questionable goal.
He appeared to shove Charlie Coyle into Jeremy Swayman and then put the loose puck into the net. Boston challenged, but the goal stood, which it shouldn't have based on the definition of the rule that states:
Needless to say, the Bruins were not happy with that call either as Bennett has gotten away with two penalties the last two games.
