The preparation, focus and distractions that Monahan and Gaudreau and Brodie and Ferland and Granlund and are being exposed to now in this playoff chase and the actual playoffs are like nothing that they have ever been exposed to.
Bennett was playing in front of 3400 people in Kingston for the playoffs.... He missed the WJC so his biggest games have been the NHL exhibition games.
It would be more beneficial career-wise if Bennett were part of the NHL playoff atmosphere and get ready as though he was playing.
