Those were two soft crosschecks compared to others I've seen around the league(go back 10 years for any player and you'll find dirt).
edit: My opinion of Benn's ejection is that he went too far and took an additional cross check to stones neck/helmet/shoulderpad while he was already down and that's what did it. I've seen hundred of plays where the refs let two guys who went down cross check eachother as they go down and get back up. Stone didn't retaliate which is what Benn probably expected him to do

Benn is such a prick. He said that he fell on stone with his stick LOL. Didn't even bother to reach out to him and apologize cuz apparently during playoffs teams don't talk to each other. His excuse is they're down 2-0 series, and losing 1-0 early into the game and he's jacked up and was heat of a moment thing haha
As a diehard Stars fan I thought it was an undisciplined penalty but the whole Stars team needed that to wake up. When you see your captain lose his frustration and get ejected you realize as a team, "We've been doing something wrong".
Just like when the Stars won without Pavelski vs the Wild they had to come together as a team and produce offense without one of their best.
I've watched every game this series as most of you have and neither team looks like their going to beat the Panthers.
Vegas needs lucky bounces to win that's why when you look back at games 1 and 2 and see the Stars hit the post multiple times and Vegas score off "who did it hit off of" goals.
Stars lost game 3 in the first 5 minutes of the game but then won without Benn in game 4.
Would be nuts if Dallas could take game 5 in Vegas and come home and have their captain back.
