Also here's some praise for Sam Bennett's performance against the oilers last game from Craig Conroy.
Quote:
“Oh, our best player,” said assistant GM Craig Conroy. “The one thing he’s got, over and above the skill, is that big heart. That competitive will. You can’t learn it; can’t teach it. It’s there or it’s not. He wants to be a difference maker, every night. He’s got that little bit of a cocky edge to him. He’s not taking a back seat to anybody.
“High-end speed, ballsy, gritty. The way he takes pucks to the net … not many guys do that because you’re putting your body on the line. You saw examples (Sunday). He’s fearless.
“He’s one of those guys who rises to occasions. If McDavid had been here last night — they’re friends — he would’ve relished the chance to play against him.
“That’s what I mean about rising to the occasion.
“He’s not intimidated. He’s not awed. He relishes those kinds of situations, of occasions.”
