One Twitter user posted this screenshot from an alleged conversation on Twitter between Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn and defenseman Jason Demers. I used alleged because I haven’t seen anybody else post the screenshot, although it does look legit.
Back to the post, Jamie Benn asked his teammate if he liked to “Bunch Mox’, suggesting Demers is the kind of guy who would do that kind of thing. If you’re unsure what that means, reverse the first letters in the slang. Here’s the Urban Dictionary definition (NSFW) for anybody struggling.

Now why are we even talking about this? Because Twitter has been absolutely magic in their response to this. Here are my favorite reactions to the conversation – starting with my favorite from the always great Graphic Comments.
I suppose given Benn's experience on the ice, you can understand why it would, er…leave a bad taste in his mouth. pic.twitter.com/ec91UMs0WF

So next time someone calls out Jamie Benn for diving and says "he goes down too easily," well…uh…I guess we have proof against that.

And just think, Jamie Benn thought the Sedin Twins were weird.

Jamie Benn only has 14 fights in 426 NHL games. Obviously he's not that interested in getting a few licks in. #ThanksGoodnight #Stars #NHL
