Lost in all the McDavid hype last night was an awesome game by Bennett going head to head with him. One example of his drive and hustle was near the end of the game. He was deep in the offensive zone and McDavid made a pass up to pouliot I believe who started skating down on what started to become almost a 2-on-1... Bennett came all the way back to break up the pass.
You can really tell he had a personal stake in the rivalry and really wanted to stop McDavid all night. Going to be awesome as the years go on and the rivalry builds between those two. They obviously don't hate each other like giroux and Crosby but I see similar styles going against each other in this rivalry.
