Craig Berube Calls Out Sam Bennett, the Referees, & the NHL Following Athony Stolarz's Brutal Injury

Last night, Anthony Stolarz seemingly suffered a concussion against the Florida Panthers as he got hit with an elbow to the head from Sam Bennett.

Overall, it was a pretty brutal play that had the goalie vomiting on the bench. Moreover, he even had to be transported to the hospital in an ambulance.

Fans are livid this morning and with the NHL Department of Player Safety vowing to not take any supplemental action, there is a lot of anger and disgust going around right now.

One person who was particularly upset last night was none other than Craig Berube, and rightfully so. After all, his goaltender was taken out.

While speaking to the media, Berube was quick to call out Sam Bennett, noting that the elbow was a clear attempt to injure or at least knock the goaltender off balance.

The head coach also went after the officiating and the NHL for not protecting the goalie. We're sure he is even angrier after the announcement this morning.

As for his team's response to the Bennett hit, Craig Berube didn't have much to add. Instead, he noted that he liked how the team kept its composure.

In Game 2, it will be interesting to see if the Maple Leafs try anything, such as putting Ryan Reaves in the lineup. It is going to be fascinating to watch.

Hopefully, the Maple Leafs can take advantage of their current lead in the series and show their fans that they can still win this thing.
