There was 140 minutes of penalty in the competition, the fourth plus in the final history of the Stanley Cup. Walman’s fine was the only one to distribute.
The match was already 5-1 in favor of Florida when things became more aggressive on the ice. He reached a different level when the EDMONTON striker, Trent Frederic, began to attack the point where he overlooked it with the ice. Bennett retaliated with a few punches while riding above Frédéric.
