He was stellar against Washington and needs to return to that form.

Sam Bennett makes it personal with childhood friend Connor McDavid as Stanley Cup turns fierce
McDavid vs. Bennett in Stanley Cup Final (Image via: Getty Images) Connor McDavid and Sam Bennett once shared the same locker room and childhood dreams. Now, those memories have melted away under the heat of the Stanley Cup Final. With emotions high and stakes higher, Bennett's aggressive, unrelenting style is targeting his former teammate and he's making sure McDavid feels it with every shift. Connor McDavid vs. childhood friend Sam Bennett: The clash no one saw coming Before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, Connor McDavid was asked about Sam Bennett's gritty reputation. His response was measured but telling: 'Yeah, he's always played with an edge. Ever since he was a little guy. So, you know, nothing that we haven't seen before.' But by the second period, that edge had become a blade and it cut deep. Bennett collided violently with Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm and toppled directly onto goaltender Stuart Skinner. A two-minute penalty for goaltender interference and a wave of outrage from Edmonton fans. What many saw as a reckless play, Bennett called strategy. When asked about it postgame, his response was icy and bold: 'That's where I'm gonna be for the rest of the series.' This isn't just a battle of skill, it's now personal. McDavid and Bennett go way back to their youth hockey days with the York Simcoe Express, where they grew as teammates and friends. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

Bennett's role is clear: disrupt, distract, dominate. He's crashing the net, drawing penalties, and injecting raw emotion into every shift. While McDavid stays composed on the surface, it's impossible to ignore the psychological toll Bennett's presence brings. Florida is feeding off that energy. Bennett's relentless game plan has shifted momentum and forced the Oilers into uncomfortable territory. He's not the biggest name on the roster but right now, he might be the most impactful.

'There's a fine line': Edmonton Oilers voice frustration over Florida Panthers' repeated contact with Stuart Skinner
Goaltender Stuart Skinner finds himself at the center of controversy for the Stanley Cup Final as the Edmonton Oilers increasingly voice concern regarding consistent physical contact by the Florida Panthers, especially forward Sam Bennett. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incidents have sparked debate among the Edmonton Oilers' defensemen, who feel the line between physical play and careless interference is becoming more blurred. Stuart Skinner 's safety becomes central talking point in Edmonton Oilers-Florida Panthers Stanley Cup final As the Stanley Cup Final gets intense, the Edmonton Oilers are complaining about how the Florida Panthers are crashing into the crease, especially when it involves their starting goaltender, Stuart Skinner. Following two different incidents of collision with Florida forward Sam in the first games of the series, there are growing concerns with the inconsistent calls from the NHL on goaltender interference and the well-being of netminders. In Game 1, Sam Bennett was at the center of an explosive incident in which he hit Stuart Skinner just before a Florida Panthers goal. The Edmonton Oilers challenged for goalie interference, but the play counted, leaving people in confusion and anger. In Game 2, Bennett once again collided with Skinner, earning a goaltender interference penalty — although Bennett himself argued that the infraction had not been warranted. 'I was pushed, and then I think the goalie kicked out my heel,' Bennett said. 'So, I didn't agree with that one, but I'll move on from that.' The physicality of the Panthers has added pressure to the defense of the Oilers, such as Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard, who are struggling to defend the crease without taking penalties themselves. "You can accidentally drop into (Skinner), but, at one point, enough's got to be enough," Mattias Ekholm said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "I was very surprised the goal in Game 1 stood. But it was good on the refs that they called Bennett on that play [in Game 2]. Being a leader is understanding the situation. Not doing that — we actually scored on that power play, which we probably wouldn't have on a four-on-four situation." 2025 Stanley Cup Final Live Game 3: Edmonton Oilers vs. Florida Panthers Evan Bouchard seconded those sentiments, noting the fine line that players must navigate when attempting to defend their goalie without taking expensive penalties. "There's definitely a fine line," Bouchard said. "They definitely do like to teeter with it." Bennett's past in the playoffs only serves to fan the flames. He previously elbowed Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz during Game 1 of the second round — play that sent Stolarz to the playoffs' sidelines with a concussion. Also read: As the Stanley Cup Final moves to Florida, officiating and player behavior will continue to be in the spotlight. The Edmonton Oilers have indicated that protecting Stuart Skinner is paramount, and they'll be waiting for the league to give them clarity — and consistency — on what is deemed interference. For the time being, they'll try to toe the line between discipline and defense as the fight for the Cup becomes more heated.

Veteran player Brad Marchand might end Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff dilemma—but at what cost?
Brad Marchand (via Getty Images) The Toronto Maple Leafs have endured Brad Marchand's frustrating exploits for more than a decade. Brad Marchand, along with his unparalleled capacity to incense his foes, has been Toronto's playoff demon, sending the Leafs packing five times—most recently in a comprehensively won 6–1 Game 7 against the Florida Panthers. Now, with the divisive veteran set to hit unrestricted free agency, GM Brad Treliving has a tempting dilemma: Should the Leafs go get Brad Marchand at long last—or leave him alone? Should the Toronto Maple Leafs pursue divisive veteran Brad Marchand in free agency Now 37, Brad Marchand continues to show why he's one of the game's most consistent stars. He had 23 goals and 28 assists in 71 games with the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers this season, and has once more dialed it up during the playoffs with 17 points (7G, 10A) in 19 games going into the Stanley Cup Final. But scoring is just half the story. Following the victory, Brad Marchand was surprised by showing a facet: he was raised a Leafs supporter. THE TRADE THAT KEEPS ON GIVING 👏 Discussing Brad Marchand's impact in the Stanley Cup Final | SC What would Brad Marchand bring to Toronto Maple Leafs If Leafs management is serious about altering the team's playoff DNA, Brad Marchand is the guy. He's clutch, disruptive, and battle-hardened—exactly what a Leafs core that has underperformed when it needed to show up most lacks. His playoff resume is among the best: 176 playoff games 155 points (63G, 92A) 2011 Stanley Cup champion Toronto has about $25.7 million of estimated cap space coming into the offseason. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo With John Tavares' $11 million deal expiring after next season and Mitch Marner's $10.9 million perhaps being off the books, the Leafs are in a great position to make moves. A reasonable goal for Marchand might be $7.5 to $8 million AAV—a substantial price for a player on the back end of his career. The Leafs took the same risk on Patrick Marleau, only to trade him and a first-round pick just to get rid of his $6.25 million cap hit. Ultimate verdict: Calculated aggression or costly sentiment? If the Leafs are in 'win-now or never' mode, Marchand makes sense. He'd bring swagger, experience, and playoff credibility to a team that's long lacked it. But anything more than two years or $7.5 million AAV could backfire, especially if his production dips. Also read: Brad Marchand's playoff dominance sparks free agency buzz as Panthers push for Stanley Cup glory Toronto needs to stand strong against sentiment and nostalgia, no matter if Marchand grew up a Leafs supporter. The issue isn't whether he can assist next year. He can. The issue is, what's the price when he can't anymore?
