I thought Bennett had a very nice game last night.
The one thing I will say is that you can see how we lucked out with Monahan when comparing his on-ice demeanor to Bennett. Bennett was like a caged animal, running around, hitting, getting dirty, I loved it. But it also showed some immaturity on his part; getting out of position to try and force defensive plays, the penalty, and overall just a lot of running around. A stark contrast to Monahan's level-headedness and stability.
It's a good thing he is being started on the wing. If he had been thrown to the wolves (aka, if he was an Oiler), he would have been a tire-fire at centre.
Love the energy and enthusiasm he brings.
