The majority of people either agree with the punishment, or even think it wasn't harsh enough. Unfortunately, not everyone shares this sentiment, and many feel that Bennett's actions did not warrant any punishment at all, one of these people being former NHL hockey player Matthew Barnaby.
Times have changed, and maybe Bennett's actions would have been less severe back in 1992 when Barnaby started, but not anymore and Barnaby will eventually need to acknowledge this and get with the times.
