what a game by the kid last night. To be honest, other than the pre-draft hype, especially when he got ranked #1 by some scouting agencies, i didn't know much about his playing style other than the "gilmour-ish" comments thrown around.
on hf there was a thread comparing him to duchene, and i thought that was a bit over the top, considering how good duchene is.
Last night's game made the comparison in playing style quite apparent. I didn't realize just how good a skater he was. there are more and more good skaters comingi into the league, what really stood out for me was how bennet can make plays at top speed, which i think is the rationale in comparing him to a guy like duchene, who is amazing at top speed.
i had already considered bennet going to kingston an inevitability. Last night has me more on the fence all of a sudden.
