Vancouver at Edmonton 9/22/08
Vote: Rob Davison vs Hans Benson Sep 22, 2008
Vote: Mason Raymond vs Hans Benson Sep 22, 2008
Rob Davison vs Hans Benson They are jawing behind the play and decide to go. They get in tight right away, and Davison throws 2-3 shots from in tight with a few landing but not doing much damage. Benson comes back with a good shot from in tight. They get off balance and Benson gets the initial takedown, and then falls and Davison rolls on top. Draw in a nothing fight.

Line BRAWL!!!
Mason Raymond drills Gagne into the boards after he gets rid of the puck - reasonable hit, but Gagne was about 4 feet out and hit the boards pretty hard...
Hans Benson comes flying in from across the ice with his gloves off and jumps him from behind... Rob Davison sees Benson with his gloves off and is flying from behind after Benson - he jumps Benson right away... Theo Peckham will have none of this and is the next guy in since Davison is now on Benson's back... Those four end up in a pile, and eventually Benson gets some separation and you can see him throw 3-4 good shots at the turtled Canuck. Smid then comes in and wants a piece of a Canuck (Raymond???) and drops the gloves - they end up tumbling hard into the boards, Smid on top, and nothing else develops. Peckham and Pyatt separate from the pile and are ready to go, but decide against it. Benson ends up with the only 5 minute penalty, and the rest are minors. That's a fairly BS call, seeing as Davison was as much engaged in a fight as Benson was... In fact, Davison was CLEARLY third man in... Benson gets 2, 2, 5, 10 and Davison gets 2, 2, 10... Not bad for a non-fighter line brawl  If Benson makes this team and so does McMorrow (never gonna happen), I would CREAM MY PANTS at a Benson / McMorrow / Stortini line with Strudwick and Souray on defense...

Raymond finishes a hard hit on Gagner and Benson comes over and confronts Raymond, he seems hesitant to drop the gloves and fill in Raymond but he makes it clear he won't stand for anyone touching his star player. He roughs up Raymond just enough to get a stir from the 'Nucks and Davison comes rushing in and tackles Benson to the ice. Pyatt was pulling on someone's collar trying to drag them off Davison, I think it was Theo Peckham. Raymond was at the bottom of the pile with a couple of guys piled on top of him, his bucket was off. Smid looked to be filling in someone for a bit but eventually he eased up.
Unfortunately Benson got the 2+5+10, plus another 2 for roughing. He really didn't deserve it because he looked to have let up a bit on Raymond, just wanted to send a message. Davison received the only other penalties, 2+2+10. It's really too bad, you could tell Benson wanted to send a message but he was trying to be responsible about it, he still ends up putting his team short handed and gets a game. |

Yeah those were pretty accurate descriptions. One thing to add is that Labrie got 2 for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second after Souray just absolutely laid out a Canuck at the blueline. Labrie went after him and dropped the gloves but Souray wasn't interested.
Another thing, some girl flashed the jumbotron. She was waiting for it too, the second she noticed she was on, the shirt was up and the camera man was too slow so everyone got a good look.Unfortunately, Benson didn't play very well. He's not big enough to fit the role of a pure goon and not good enough for a 4th line grinder. A for effort, but I'm not sure he's gonna last the next cut. They've got other guys to look at. Peckham on the other hand was awesome. Really sound in his own zone and he leveled Cowan for good measure. They've got too many d-man for him to make the squad but he'll be the first injury call up. |

The officiating in this game was just god awful. I expect that from the NHL these days but it was taken to an extreme level in this one.

That wasn't even the worst penalty. The first one called on Krog for interference or whatever was complete B.S. I also thought the hooking call on Vishnovsky was pretty weak. You could go up and down the list...most weren't legit penalties.
Also, how the hell does Benson get an instigator, 5 for fighting and a game misconduct for giving Raymond a glove to the head dropping his gloves and then getting tackled by Rob Davison? |

Not much of a scrap between Davison and Benson. Nice hit by Raymond to lead to some fireworks with the linebrawl. I liked Benson's willingness to drop the gloves in this game.

The NHL needs a guy with the name Hans Benson.

Hans Benson is one scruffy lookin' dude! He looks more like he belongs behind the counter of a headshop than suited up in the NHL.
