So happy for Sam Bennett. Kid has been playing some solid hockey for some time and was just snake bitten. I want him playing with Gaudreau and Monahan but ideally he should be centering his own line.
The kid is a talent now, but give him a year or two and 10 or 15 pounds of man muscle watch out. He plays the game like Iggy did in his prime. Bennetts prime is in a few years and I cant wait to see it.
Props to Wideman. A vet teaching the kid etiquette in the league. Not saying Bennett was going to go nuts and do something stupid celebrating a goal when its 6 - 0. Just saying its nice to have vets on the team to keep the young guys in check! Honestly Bennett just looked relieved, and amazed, every bounce went his way that game, so much so he looked like he was in disbelief. Yet I bet that locker room celebration was a blast!
