Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney has made headlines with a pointed critique of NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the Department of Player Safety, urging them to clarify their stance on a recent controversial play.

Sweeney's call to action comes after an incident in Game 3, where Florida Panthers' Sam Bennett landed what many believe was a sucker punch on Bruins captain Brad Marchand.
The hit occurred during the second period and was severe enough that Marchand had to leave the game; he was also unable to play in Game 4.
This absence was deeply felt by the team and fans alike, leading to increased scrutiny of the NHL's response.
"We've seen every possible angle," Sweeney stated, expressing frustration over the lack of clear communication from the Department of Player Safety regarding the incident.
Sweeney essentially says Department of Player Safety needs to say what happened on Bennett-Marchand play. «We've seen every possible angle.»

His statement emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability from the league in handling such significant game incidents, especially when they have substantial consequences for player health and team dynamics.
