Detroit Red Wings fans and members of the media took to Twitter after Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn received a five-minute, cross-checking penalty and a game misconduct early in the first period of Tuesday's 4-0 loss against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Benn, who is facing a possible suspension in a disciplinary hearing on Wednesday afternoon, cross-checked captain Mark Stone of the Golden Knights, who lead the series 3-0 and can eliminate the Stars from the playoffs on Thursday in Dallas.
"This isn't new behavior from Jamie Benn," tweeted Brad Galli, the TV sports anchor on 7 Action News.
