Stars captain Jamie Benn gets a surprising fine for a controversial Game 5 cross-check

One of the best series of this first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs has been between the Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars, but the intensity is now going to cost Stars captain Jamie Benn some money.

But not that much in the grand scheme of things.

We all knew the Minnesota-Dallas series would be a doozy. I mean, it's so good on paper that it had people wondering if we need to revamp the Stanley Cup Playoffs format because the two teams are too good to meet in the opening round.

It turns out, everyone was right.
